What is ELITE? Good question and while i could explain it, this site does a better job of it. http://elite.frontier.co.uk/ Saying that for those that can't be bothered to look, ELITE was the grandfather of all the space trading games you see today. Released in 1984 and written by David Braben & Ian Bell, the game introduced many concepts that we all take for granted in modern 3D space games and was a huge influence for the creators of EVE Online amongst others. I played it when it came out and …

Huor I'm actually terrible at modelling and haven't created diddly since i started modding FL, specially in the ship department. I'm good at converting things to run in FL, do that all the time tbh, same with these ships, a guy called Griff gave them to me to convert so that's what i've done. I chat with OP now and then on msn, so if he needs help i'm sure he'll ask. As to me lurking in the Sol system, not wrong there, have a luxury cabin on the International Space Station

Got them all hardpointed and scripted now, next thing is to test them in game and apply the lightmaps and hopefully, job done

Here's a pictorial update on how some of them look in game, still a few to go, 25 ships in total BOA Mk.I COBRA MK.I COBRA MK.III CONSTRICTOR

Thanks guys. One of the more interesting facts with these illumination effects for the engine is..... they can be changed to match the colour of the engine you want to use. I use Paintshop Pro 7 for all my graphical work and there's a function called Adjust Hue/Saturation/Lightness. Its' a simple slider. With that you can change the glow colour to match the engine of your choice, be it a standard engine or a custom made one. Very handy for making different versions.

Except you'd need to make new ale files first, then you could use the above to match them, but in essence you're correct. Not easy making ale files though lol

Thanks fellas, taken a lot of hard work to get them working i can tell you that much. They are all done now, finished the last one last night. I'll be offering this as a modders resource package first, so this will include all 25 ships plus the Coriolis space station, sur files, cockpit files with rear views and icons. I've had quite a bit of interest in these ships with people asking me to make them plug and play for vanilla. Right now i have to say i'll think about it. I have them for inclusi…

Uploaded to the downloads section

You could always just click on my signature... Or got the downloads section here as i see OP has authorised it now. Thanks OP.

Anything is possible. Not wishing to step on OP's toes, but if you only play it in singleplayer then yes, you could add anything you like. If you play multiplayer then no, it's not possible unless OP added them to Crossfire. I'm actually thinking of doing an FLMM version for use with vanilla as i've had a few requests for that already. Only other place the ELITE ships exist atm is in my Galacticum mod which isn't released.

If you just want to add them to plain old vanilla, pop over to my forum and i'll tell you.

I find hardpointing stations a royal pain. So many to add, takes twice as long as doing ships, unless we're talking capships of course, hate doing those. I've got about 5 or 6 more stations in the Elite theme, all variations of the classic shape. Thankfully they are all done as well.
