Default Frontier - First Encounters

Elite 3: First encounters

Is it abandonware already?

I could provide it, but i am not sure if it's abandoned.

Is it any good? I tried Elite 2 but it was so riddled with bugs I gave up in the end, I seem to remember being able to land on planets though which was kind of nice, unless that is Elite 3?

Frontier (Elite 2) was great. Some solar systems are riddled with pirates so unless you've got some heavy armaments (take's a while to get) I would stick to safer areas. It also had some of the best in game music ever !!!

yes there is a lot of pirates indeed. by killing them you progress in rank fast.

However there are certain system which are safer and ok to travel in. there you will encounter none or very little pirates. such as Sol system for example.

Elite 3 has same or similar graphics as elite 2. you can land on planets and deploy mining maschines.

As for the combat it really is done too realistic. once you accelerate it's hard to make any manouvers. luckilly smaller ships make smaller wormholes and can come out of hyperspace closer to planets in the system.

When I got a little wealthier I always invested in fast missiles. That was easier than trying to shoot the pirates down. Also I trick I learned was that you could lock on to the pirate ship and turn on auto pilot. That way the navigational computer does the aiming

Or later on you can use turrets along with targeting system on huge cargo ships. They can shoot and attack you, but they can't do you any damage. you shield will be too strong to penetrate.
