OOLITE (EliteClone)

[Sodslaw]

Since the announcement of a new Elite :- Elite Dangerous. Have found a 'clone' of Elite, Oolite (Object Oriented Elite ). Plays just like the old game BUT there's a large number of addons ( OXPs ) that make the game very interesting. Download is small (24Mg) and OXPS ( Oolite eXpansion Packs )are smaller . If you can remember the original Elite I suggest to give it a try. http://www.oolite.org and the OXPs @ http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/OXP

Lol !
Used to love elite and played it for hours.
This loads well and looks very close.
Only trouble is I've completely forgotten how to play. I ended up being blown up by Lave police !

Yes ! think we all have had that problem but there's reference sheets @ http://terrastorage.ath.cx/Marmagka/aYpqwuMF0ETkFwgi/Referance_sheets_mk3.pdf that give REAL help (am using all the time) also suggest to get the OXPS OF Griff Industries
@ http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Griff_Industries. They make docking at the stations a LOT more interesting. And the Spaceships more 'real'.
