Yeah, you can sometimes crash into planets & stations using the autopilot in Frontier.  The best way around this is to use maximum time advance as you'll dock safely every time.

But ofcourse you ALL know the greatest cheat in the game don't you (for Elite II that is)?  

- pick up as much trash as you can(they pay you to take it) and then go into deap space where you can dump without being huranged by the police.  

-When you go to dump the trash, don't click on the box, but JUST undernieth it.  

-You'll hear all the sounds for jetisoning the trash, you'll see a free space apear but the amount won't go down on the amount of trash you have.  Basiclly, the more you do this, the more free space you'll have on your ship...  

I tried it and when I put down the game I had several Planetary Assault Lasers, Passenger cabin, etc. on a Imp!!!!  (User BOOT_WB's Avatar ship is an Imp...)

Use sparingly as it DOES kill the feel of the total game, but is GREAT for taking agression out on pirates!!!!

i always had a pretty good cheat for elite. it was the take the disk out-scream at it- then play tetris manuver. it always worked pretty well but it never got me very far in the game.
ive used the very same cheat on quite a few games ive played. there is a variation on it that i used on timestalker for the sega genasis, its the take it out- throw it at the wall- then scream cause it dont work no more trick. that one isnt as fun because you can only do it once for real. after that its pretty redundant, plus i didnt have tetris for the sega

Hmm... I once went to Sol system, bought a cargo ship and transported some stuff from Tellus to nearby planet. I got very very rich and lost interest to the game. Heh...

Hi, you can download a copy from Ian Bell's own site.  It's quite an interesting wee site.

Find it here

Ironically it's a cracked version of the game.  You can download versions for various formats.

Enjoy.
