I haven't been playing Elite lately, but I keep up with the goings on, and it looks like a new story line is starting to unfold. The Thargoids have attacked Palin and he's cleared out of his lab.

Interesting to see what happens, and it looks like the Thargoids have pulled out of the bubble and are hitting the Peiades.

Might hop back when I get out of the water....


Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.
This is known as "bad luck.”

Been a dead zone there for several weeks. Took a month long break myself. Been on a few nights the past couple of weeks, just aimlessly wandering around. Quite bored with ED of late. Fdev screwed the pooch when they did away with the regular ol CGs, imho. At least the CGs gave us a reason to engage in the game. Meh, mebe it’s just me.

I liked CGs too. Gave me some sort of goal, something to do, to participate in. And some shiny new decals too.

I've been playing this game for about three years now, and my interest waxes and wanes. I'll play a lot for two months, then take four off, ya know? I'm still posting at the FDev forum though. I read it just about every day.

I'll be back to it eventually.

Not you BOHEMOND I also am giving it a rest (a long one)! Hitch, Eugene and I have been playing IL-1946 lately. Steam sale it was 2.50. Oh so much! Been having a great time flying off carriers and landing on them. It's been good times flying the Hellcat and Corsair.

Yes they screwed the pooch when they took our CG's away.
