disabled_by_defaultDue to increasing levels of AI scraping putting incredible strain on server resources but Cloudflare's under attack mode being a bit too heavy-handed to leave up 24/7, we're trying a new way to combat these attacks.

I just spent the last 12 hours researching Elite II's model systems, and I am now just surprised we don't have these all ripped, because wow, we got A LOT of documentation, WITHOUT any ripping.

The good news is that we have access to the Elite source code, so reverse engineering the game to procure the vectors for all of the models we can should be easy. Now if only we could say the same for Elite II...

1984-this is the oldest game ripped by far

there might be other wireframe games before it though, and I, Robot

Both of them have models rendered in wireframe and flight simulation aspects, yes. Elite is much slower-paced and is focused a lot more on trading, though. Doesn't really have traditional levels, either.
