Hi!!  I am just starting up a new game server based on "Trade Wars 2002"
although I have never had the pleasure of playing elite, I have played the
wing commander privateer series, and elite as often come up in reviews for
trader type games and such.  One of my favorite games of all time (although
it is only text based with some ANSI graphics) it has been recently updated,
and can now be played over the internet!!  (used to be in the realm of the
BBS)  This is a little pet project of mine, and is currently only running at
approximately 9pm-2am each night, over a dynamic IP address, and only allows
4 simultaneous logins (because it is only a 56K connection and I don't want
it to get bogged down) It is turn limited, but not time limited.  There are
ample turns available each day, so no need to be concerned about that!! :)
If all goes well, and I have enough players to warrant a static IP address
and a 24/7 connection I will get it!!  This game is *FREE* and always will
be, even if I do upgrade!!  (I hate getting into a game and then having
someone charge me) to play, you will need a ANSI compatible telnet client (a
shareware one is available for download from my web page) and that is
basically it!!  You will need to visit my web page to get my IP address to
telnet to.  It will change (unfortunately) every night, so you will find my
server status (whether the game is actually currently running or not) and my
current IP address on my web page.  This is a great game, and one I have
enjoyed for many years.  I am currently trying to build in many new alien
races and ship (ones from the star trek, star wars, and wing commander
universes) as well as some races of my own creation.  So the game will keep
getting bigger and more populated as time goes on.  (This game has 20,000
sectors!!!!)  so until there are a lot of aliens and human traders space
will seem quite empty...   just some features to point out to help you
decide if you are interested in playing.  (Good, Evil alignment and
different perks for both sides, TONS of ships... some available for
purchase, others need to be captured from alien races, 20,000 sectors to
explore and populate, form your own corporations and have as many team
members as you want, create and colonize your own planets, and then upgrade
them to be "cash cows" or powerful combat bases, trade and make money "of
course", etc.) this is just to name a few things, this is a very deep game,
and as such has a fairly steep learning curve, but the rewards are well
worth it!!  At any rate, anyone interested in trader type games, or sci-fi
space stuff in general should give this game a try!!  Just check out this
web page for all my connection info!!
