Links to other Frontier:First Encounters information

This page provides you with links to other FFE information on the Internet. Due to the changing nature of the net, this page is frequently updated. One of these days, I'll review them properly, but to paraphrase New Rossyth Shipyards - "It's a huge Internet - good luck out there!"

I'm always happy to link to new sites, so if you have an Elite-series website just ask me to link to your website and I'll update this page as quickly as I can. See my contact details.

Elite Sites in Other Languages

PL FFE Site
The first Polish-language FFE site, and an exceptionally comprehensive one too. You'll need to install Polish fonts first if you want to read it in that language.

FFE Websites

FFE Manual in HTML
As the name suggests, this is the FFE manual in an easy to read HTML format, complete with illustrations. It was put together by Franke Scheper, and is well worth visiting, especially now that all of the illustrations are in colour.

JJFFE Central
The homepage of John Jordan's enhanced version of FFE, which can run from the Windows desktop and has better device support and fewer bugs.

The Elite Bar
Maintained by Andrew 'Bee-Team' Cooper, this is the official website of the #theelitebar IRC channel and contains some FFE-related resources as well as a whole load of stuff about the Bar.

(Telepath's Haven) - Frontier: First Encounters
Maintained by Telepath, and has some decent FFE pix

George Hooper's FFE Art Page
Almost certainly the best-looking FFE site on the web, and contains a lot of unique artwork. Well worth visiting.

Raqoon's FFE Page
Despite being a running-dog Federalist scumbag (see Raq, I told you I wasn't bitter about you changing sides!), Colonel Raqoon has produced a good site. Of particular note is the super soar-away Trojan Observer. It's a reet riveting read!

Zat Solo's Deep Space Outpost
Zat Solo's FFE page, which has the best links page on the net!

Life on the Frontier
The other big beast in the FFE jungle. Maintained by Matt Dibb.

Alioth.net
Dylan Smith's FFE Page, featuring a large amount of FFE and Frontier information, a message board, the definitive guide to the Alliance and much more.

Urban Confederate's FFE Site
The FFE Site of Urban Confederate.

Frontier: First Encounters System Guide
This website, created by Dean Hall, concentrates on providing information about the systems in the game and even offers a downloadable MS Access database for you to peruse offline.

Sirocco Station
Dan Lind's site is back, and with a great new look and a whole load more stuff, including some great nets for making paper or card models of ships from Elite. Well worth a visit.

Other Elite Sites

GalNet
The homepage of an alliance of senior Elite-series players, formed in anticipation of a multiplayer version of Elite. Of particular merit is the 'Don't Panic' section, which provides advice on running older versions of Elite on 'modern' hardware.

The Elite Web Awards
Founded by Red Gamma, the Elite Web Awards aims to see what the Elite Community think of all those websites out there. Still early days, but if it takes off it could be much more definitive than all those other web awards schemes that assess more on whether a site is 'k3w1' than on how it serves its community.

EYWTKATICAWATA
Or 'everything you wanted to know about the Imperial Courier and were afraid to ask' is Andrei Tanase's website totally dedicated to one of most Commanders' favourite FE2 and FFE ships. A remarkable achievement. Now back and at a new location.

Frontier Developments
The official website of the developers of FE2 and FFE.

The Elite Project
My Elite Project site, detailing fans' quest to write an Elite sequel. Mainly concentrates on non-programming info, as well as providing some basic info about TEP. The project appears to have stalled, but I'm keeping the page up as an archive.

Rob Pfeifer's Elite Site
Contains the alt.fan.elite FAQ, as well as information about the Elite games - including assistance with playing ArcElite under emulation.

Ian Bell's Elite Page
The website of the original co-author of Elite 1. Includes downloadable copies of practically all versions of Elite 'Classic.'

Acorn Elite
Simon Challands' excellent ArcElite site. Also contains extensive info about Angus Duggan's Elite-A, a truly impressive extension of the original BBC version of Elite (which still works on the BBC B).

Ironfrost Elite Network
Covers the Elite Series as a whole, with Frontier (FE2) being particularly well covered with ship information and the Frontier Information Database Online (FIDO). This site also features a number of interesting challenges for the experienced Frontier player to try and beat.

Frontierverse
Robin Sharrock's Frontier: Elite 2 site. Good range of info.

Dave's Homeworld
The website of Dave McCreadie.

Java Elite
A Java Spectrum emulator running Elite? Now I've seen everything!

Other Space Sim Sites

Stereoscopic Images, with an Elite theme.

Egosoft's X: Beyond the Frontier
The official website of the latest pretender to the Elite throne.

Zedo's Hardwar Site
One of the best Hardwar sites around, with a huge amount of useful information on one of the best Elite-style games released. Now has the betas for the long-awaited U3.0 upgrade patch.
