  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. Mittlerweile haben wir Wegpunkt 8 der Distant Worlds 3 Expedition erreicht. Hier ein Auszug aus dem Expeditions-Reiseführer:

    "Weit unterhalb der galaktischen Ebene liegt das unzugängliche Königreich der Weißen Zwerge, Khazad-dûm. Auf Planeten mit geostationärer Rotation bietet sich von zerklüfteten Felslandschaften aus ein spektakulärer Blick auf den Mutterstern."

  17. So, der nächste Waypoint der Distant World 3 Expedition ist erreicht: Der Neutronenstern im kleinen Seldowich Nebel. Mangels geeigneten Planeten ist der Treffpunkt am Boden aber ein System weiter.✨

    Hier ein paar Screenshots mit Impressionen. 🤩
