when i got a spectrum simulator on my computer the first game i looked for was elite. i never played it before. and i was very interested in it because i read about it in a magazine. anyway guess what the major problem was for beginners? docking procedure. a real problem. i managed to dock only a few times. then i quit playing. but later versions Elite 2 (final frontier) and 3 (first encounters) usually already gave you the automatic pilot with the craft. so docking really wasn't the problem. also in later versions you can land on the planets, take fuel form suns etc..... i just haven't figure out how to pirate the ships good and how to follow them arround in galaxy.
Elite plus is just remake of original Elite.
