Elite Advanced
There is a modified version of Elite available, called Elite Advanced.
The changes in this modified version have been made by AmiGer under the CARE project (http://www.discreetfx.com/Care/).
The modifications are as follows:
-
New ship: Warrior MkIV !
Big and fast battle ship. Transports Gold ! Has many rockets and it's hard to defeat...
Bounty: 30.0, Points: 150 - New Ship: Colubrid II Middle class ship.
Transports narcotics !
Bounty: 20.0, Points: 100 - New Equipment: Climatech Universal Laser Cooler
Costs: 6500 cr, Available on tech level 6
Cools your laser so it doesn't overheat.
Take care: activated cooler decrements your energy !
Activate/deactivate with key 'O'. - New Equipment: M2031A3 Heavy Military Laser
Costs: 9500 cr, Available on tech level 12
Double the efficiency of a normal military laser. - Some other adjustments/updates:
- Planet colours in space now fixed so they match the colours in the local navigation chart, etc.
- Equipment is now split into two pages if more then 15 equipment items are available.
- Rating points table halved, so you reach the E-L-I-T-E status and the missions earlier.
- Harddisk installable and Workbench startable (just copy the two files to your hd).
- Return to the OS via "Exit" in the "Options".
- AGA fixed.
There is also a WHDLoad installer available for this modified version of the game.
