Description Frontier: First Encounters
Despite being taken off the shelves due to numerous bugs, this latest incarnation of Elite still has a large and devoted following.
FFE (also known as Elite 3) includes new ships, items, missions and a host of new features. My favorite addition is the overall storyline: particular events occur at specific times in the universe, rather than all missions being randomly generated as before, and you can participate in them by accepting 'hand-coded' missions. Aliens also make their first appearance in this game to complicate things. Highly recommended, but don't forget to download the patch - great news for fans! David Braben's website, The Elite Club, has released the game and Frontier II, the prequel, as shareware:) Now you have the chance to legitimately enjoy one of the most underrated games ever.
