Equipping your ship

Elite: Equipping your ship
You can turn your ship into a fighting machine provided you have enough credits.

 

 

Under attack

Elite: Under attack
It’s dangerous out in deep space, especially if you go up against pirates.

Launching a missile

Elite: Launching a missile
You still hit “T” to target, but the missile effects look a lot different in 2014.

An explosion out in space

Elite: Explosion
Getting in a killer shot after a prolonged dogfight was a joy back in 1984 and is just as pleasurable today.

Game Over

Elite: Destroyed
Death comes too easily in Elite. At least it looks suitably spectacular in 2014.
