Just to be more clear on what I talk about when I'm talking about the Acorn version, here is an excerpt from http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Archimedes_Elite http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Archimedes_Elite . Of course this version was from 1991, predating both FE2 and oolite and seems justifiable to place it in the same category as the original Elite. > ArcElite is perhaps most famous for being the first non-player-centric version - meaning that the AI would fight amongst itself and pursue its own interest. The player was no longer the centre of the universe. From the AFE FAQ: "Now you can encounter pirate packs battling it out for dominance of their private patches, traders under attack, Bushmaster mining vessels smashing asteroids into chunks and scooping up the pieces, vipers towing disabled ships back to the station, vipers flying along in formation looking for some lawbreaker to fight. There are even other ships like yourself - Cobras armed to the teeth looking for pirates to fight, to boost their Elite rating." Compare this to the claims about oolite: > In Elite, the universe centers around the player, spawning random events in their path to encounter. oOlite is very different, in that when a player is thrown into any system, it is populated with NPCs, with their own individual AIs, so that as you travel through a system, there are pirates plundering, miners recovering minerals from asteroids, and Escort ships traveling through the star system ArcElite was released 13 years before oolite started development, it deserves some credit. If the article was framed as "Oolite is a combination of classic Elite mechanics, merged with the best of the features from the sequels, and user-generated plugins to seal the deal" then it would be a good article.
