Nice to see you found the game of your childhood.
I'm not sure anyone ever played this much with Elite. I never did, only read a few articles on the C64 port, not sure if those have these information.
I'd like to keep this thread up, we have a lot of hardcore gamers, some of them might completed Elite.
Good luck weirdo!
