Good day commanders!
Am I the oldest ED player? I am retired 65 year old Englishman who lives winter in UK and summer in Sweden.
I used to play the original Elite on a BBC model B micro back in the day. I never played any sequels but I have played oolite a little.
I guess because of my age, my fighting skills are not what they used to be but I am happy to see there is much more content in ED than just shooting up other ships.
I joined the Mobious TS but am surprized with such a large group there are so few who use it. Am I missing something.
Live long and prosper! :p

I don't know if you are THE oldest but yes, you are impressively old.
I would welcome you but I've already spoken to you on TS so it would be rather pointless.
Can I have your house in Sweden in the winter? I don't mind the cold.

Yeah. I don`t mind the cold either. I`d love to visit Sweden. Perhaps we can home share.

Hello and Welcome, this is one of the few forums where, at 50, I can still be considered a "young'un"

I don't know about physical age but mentally there's a few front runners.
