Greetings all.

I'm 45 and live in Kent, UK.. I have played Elite on a number of platforms while growing up (Spectrum, Amiga, Atari ST and PC. I just love the idea of being let loose and play the game how you want to.

Commander's name is my surname, I was not going to let Jameson have all the fun. :D

If you try to talk to me in game and I don't answer. I'm not being rude, I just don't know which button to press. :D

Fly safe.

Welcome to the group and the forum, Commander Hickinbotham,

Yes, and this time we are being let loose on 400.000.000.000 stars! :shock: ;)
Communications implementation still needs some improvement, I think.
I also am way too slow for using the in-game mechanics for that, so don't worry.

Have you tried our teamspeak, yet? Details are on this thread.

Welcome aboard Commander.

Check your in game settings menu for text comm options. These can be allocated as you see fit. I use keyboard numeric keys 1 and 2 for the text comms options.

Fly safe! :)

My voice isn't Teamspeak friendly. :D

All you would probably get is a load of swearing as I bounce across the inside of the station for the umpteenth time. :)

I'm hoping for an arrestor hook system, like you find on aircraft carriers to be implemented soon. :D
