YES!  I agree with every word, including the drawbacks!  This game even
comes coupled with a lighting-fast booter for itself which only engages
when you don not have another booter installed.  The details are nice, but
I would have preferred a disk-accessing game which has more details and 
aspects of play (like letting extraneous details such as race figure in to
the overall game play).  But those are just minor gripes.  If you really
want a game that pushes the 6502 to the limit, get this one (the flying is
as good as Flight Sim. II).

	Question to those who have played: yes, I've got a lot of money.
Yes, I've got a "loaded" ship, and I have enough cash to jump to another
system.  Yes, I am finally rated as competent.  But now what?  Is there any
thing else to work towards BESIDES being "elite?"  Does anybody know if
that mystery planet mentioned in the boof actually exists?  Please mail me
some hints...anyone else interested in the replies can mail to me too.
