If you have Android devices, and like Elite, this may be of interest. It's just recently released - Alite!
It uses some assets from the Oolite stable, and is excellent work!

Re: Alite - Elite for Android
Aha, this little game sure gets around the net does it not Cody. It is great though and well worth the 400 meg download, and oh! It's free!

Love Oolite, so I'll give this a go.

Re: Alite - Elite for Android
I've been looking if something like this existed a few months ago - installing!
Thanks!
Thanks!

Re: Alite - Elite for Android
This is pretty cool.
I like the tutorial, although in doing my usual "deliberately mess everything up" I managed to crash it the first time (it really doesn't expect you to try to buy slaves instead of food). I love the sarcastic comments, though:
"Let's try that. Tap on the symbol for food."
*taps Slaves*
"No, I told you to tap on the food-icon, that's the one in the upper left corner, wet-nose."
"Now you need to enter the quantity. How much do you want to buy. Let's not overindulge ourselves here: Although this is a simulation only, and nothing will really be added to your cargo bay, enter a 1 followed by OK."
*enters 17*
"I don't know if you failed basic reading, but it sure looks like that you fleshy-headed mutant. Type a 1, that's the number in the first column, third row, followed by OK, that's the third column, fourth row button."
Anyway, as far as being Elite goes, it ticks all the boxes. I miss rudder steering from Oolite, and although I haven't seen all the equipment available just yet I'm guessing things like the Explorer's Club mod offers aren't in the game, so it won't be replacing Oolite... but then it's not supposed to. It's something I can play on the train, and it works great.

Re: Alite - Elite for Android
Stardust is hoping to add expansions to Alite at some stage, so some OXP-type stuff may get included.

Alite now has a fledgling forum.
