Hi all,
I've recently relocated from London to Salisbury, and as such am spending
three hours on a train everyday getting to and from work. Many may say
that this is dull and boring, but when you've got a laptop, BeebEm, and
Elite, it's actually bearable :)
Anyway - since it's been the best part of a decade since I last played
Elite in anger, I've forgotten what some of the keys are - so could some
kind soul out there remind me ....
1) How to save my current game? (I know that you have to be docked)
2) How to switch on/off the up/down and left/right rotation dampers?
I know of the following keys ..
All the manoeuvering keys (S, X, <, >)
Speed up/down (space, ?)
Fire laser (A)
Target/Fire/Unarm missile (T, M, U)
ECM (E)
Energy bomb (Tab)
Escape Pod (Esc)
Hyperspace/G.Hyperspace/Skip (H, Ctrl-H, J)
Docking Computer on/off (C, P)
And all the "F" keys, docked and undocked.
Are there any more that I have missed?
Many thanks in advance,
Matt
