Welcome to the democracy. The way it works is, we all get a vague illusion of having the power to choose our own fates, once every 4 years we get a reality check that our opinions really dont matter and then we spend the next 4 years complaining about it.

It my case being a skeptic , I vote for the person I think is lying the least. But then also being a pessimist, start complaining about it almost immediately.

Check out this link for Oolite which is a downloadable (and extensively modded) GNU GPL version of the game.
Elite Wiki

Apparently it is as addictive as ever!!

What have you done to me!!!

Now, after all those years I discover free Elite with myriad (500+) add-ons!

Oh my time...

What is it?

In essence the "Oolite" is freeware (under GNU General Public License version 2) version of good old "Elite" with community development and 500+ Add-Ons that members created (able to add to "vanilla" flavor "Oolite" that is essentially original "Elite)!

It is 25+ MB program for MS Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.

With Add-Ons (several GB in size) you get advanced 3D models and beautiful textures for planets, nebulas, space ships and space stations!

Leo, et. al., I never played 'Elite'. Is it a freeware online version of a typical space exploitation game (e.g., Master of Orion)?

LOL, he has been on a "Matrix imposed vacation", but it ended a while ago. He's now on a "self imposed vacation" from the forum.

I never played MOO either but I had some friends that were very hardcore.

I wish theyd revamp the old Birth of the Federation game.

"Elite" was the one and only - the very first (and from 1984)!

It is flight sim combined with exploration, adventure and trade - nothing can compare to "Elite"...
