elite cheats
To start with, think offensive! If you start going soft,
you're out!
This is the golden rule of Elite, you've got to struggle
to survive.
The biggest profit lies in trading narcotics from a rich
industrial world to a poor agrucial. The profit is also
big when trading in medicals and computers from the rich
industrial worlds to the poor agrucial. Gold, platonium,
minerals, liqures and sometimes furs is profitable to
trade from poor agrucial worlds to rich industrial.
The fastest route to assets is to travel to a planet
which has a Feudal guvorment. This is the most law-less
kind of all guvorments (where Corporate State is the safest)
and here you can, and will meet many pirates. Shoot 'em
and collect the cargo cannisters they leave behind (this
requires fuel scoops, of course).
Warning! You ought to be equipped with a better laser
than the standard puls-type, 'cos there will in most cases
be too many pirates attacking at the same time thus resulting
in a catastrophe if you're equipped with a lonley puls-laser.
NEVER buy retro-rockets. They cost CR 8000 and is almost
useless, since all they do is to thrust you backwards
a couple of times. Nice to use to escape from your enemies
for a short period of time, but it isn't worth the dough.
If you want to escape, use the escape-capsule. Your cargo
is gone, but you'r getting a new space ship, identical
to the one you dropped out from.
To speed up the game considerately, buy a docking computer,
switch the docking computer to the 'fast' mode under options
(+)and the second you press 'C' (when the 'S' sign has
appeared in the lower right corner of the radar) you will
be in the automatic docking sequence, instead of using
most of the game time just approching space-stations.
During combat:stop the speed of your craft as soon as
the enemies appear. This gives you more time to shoot
at them before they return the confetti. If their number
is overwhelming gain top speed and fly away from them
while using the rear laser to shoot 'em down. The last
tactic is preferable if you meet a Thargoid and you've
got only
a pulse laser.
