  6. Two bona fide academic papers on BBC Micro Elite have just been presented at the IEEE Conference on Games in Madrid (see cog2026.org/acceptedpapers).

    I'm a co-author, alongside Michael Fairbank from the University of Essex.

    They're a great read! And they are available as free downloads from the University of Essex website, so everyone can enjoy them.

    Here are the details.

    The first paper is all about the in-game planets, with their glorious rotating craters and meridians (these planetary details are also in the Commodore 64 version, though in that version they are turned off by default).

    Fairbank, Michael and Moxon, Mark (2026) The Rotating Planets in the Classic Game: Elite. In: IEEE Conference on Games, 2026-09-01 - 2026-09-04, Madrid. (In Press)

    Free download: repository.essex.ac.uk/43577/

    The second paper explores the epic Saturn loading screen - a mathematical work of art.

    I hope you enjoy them!

  11. Gestern nach fast 2 Jahren Pause mal wieder Elite Dangerous gestartet. Bin immer noch ca 20k Lichtjahre von der Zivilisation entfernt, bewege mich aber laaangsam auf sie zu. Langsam bedeutet in dem Fall Sprünge von ca. 3-7 Lichtjahren. Und, dass ich natürlich jedes System scanne und jeden high value Planeten nochmal oberflächenscanne.
    Irgendwann werde ich schon zur Menschheit zurückkehren 😂

  16. I am thrilled to announce the release of my latest Elite hack:

    Two-player Elite for the #BBCMicro

    This is the original 1980s Acornsoft Elite, but with split-screen, two-player, deep-space combat

    See the thread for links, downloads and details

  17. Lave Radio the #EliteDangerous podcast Episode #592!: "Big Skoosh, Wee Skoosh" is now available laveradio.com/lave-radio-episo
    We’re in Colonia, in the bubble, in a perpetual state of flux and on our way to ECM!

  18. Thanks for the idea. As i got nothing better to do, i'll visit this list of Stars in Elite: Dangerous with my new Rhino, just for fun&giggles

  19. Uh oh! I better get a wiggle on to finish this ground port then!

  20. Flying from Colonia back to the bubble in about 1 hour 15 minutes with just 2 refueling stops in the Caspian Explorer couldn't be better, thanks to the Spansh plotter, of course. #EliteDangerous

  21. Povrchová těžba se vrací do Elite Dangerous a inspirace MB4 Mining Machine z původního Frontier: Elite II je víc než zjevná. 😁🪐

    Přistát, vyložit stroj, zaparkovat ho na povrchu a těžit suroviny. 🤑

  22. While pootling back from Colonia I found 3 brand new Water Worlds, but this was my favourite, in Boelts AJ-V b17-9. It was orbiting an L Class star close enough to be cast in it's light and it looked great!

  23. Today I took apart my Thrustmaster T16000M HOTAS, both the stick and the throttle. Nasty jumpy drift on both stick yaw and throttle analog stick. Fixed with some alcohol cleaning.

    Thank goodness Thrustmaster designed these in a way that you can disassemble them to atoms and put it all back together without breaking anything but your warranty terms. So many people have said that these last for maybe 50 hours, but I'm well over 200 hours in already.

    `@ozoned` interviewed me on my home cockpit on a live stream via his #Owncast instance at https://stream.ozoned.net/. This is a more condensed version of the stream that is still just 1h shy. We’re going over almost every feature of my Primary Buffer Panel and I explain how everything works. I also decided to add various photos, slideshows or video snippets during the talk only sections so things don’t get too boring. Sometimes that even complements the talks 😄

    Ever wondered how to start your own DIY #homeCockpit / #SimPit on? It’s easy. Just watch this stream 🤓

  25. Tadaaam !

    #SteamOS (via #HoloISO) sur une config #gaming de salon d'occasion pour en faire un #SteamDeck aux stéroïdes (et surtout continuer à refuser #MsWindows). Poke @gamingonlinux

    Et ça fonctionne au poil ! Reste plus qu'à configurer les manettes (et surtout le #Thrustmaster T16000M Hotas pour #EliteDangerous)...

    Bon, il va falloir aussi diminuer un peu le #PEGI, je le crains...
