Well, I used to play Elite until I got bored of it too.  How do you define
"winning" the game.  I got up to Elite status with all of the gadgets on my
ship.  I've changed galaxies twice, but nothing seems to change much between
galaxies other than the names of the planets.

I've never run into one of those bad-guy-invader ships, but I can't imagine that
they're so much harder to kill than 12 or so attacking pirates.

Is there a way to finally win the game?
