Frontier Problem

DaveEddie · 08 July 2022, 20:02

Hi all. I'm playing Elite Frontier on a a1200 from original disks and using a separate save disk.When I launch from a space station I get stuck at the exit. I ask for clearance again and it says clearance to dock and it takes me back into the station. I try to leave again and the same thing happens. Even if I reload a saved game. This must be a bug? Is there a solution? I can't seem to get past game save 5. So frustrating.

Sounds weird - I played hundreds of hours of Frontier back in the day and never came across something like that. When you say you get stuck, do you mean the ship doesn't move at all and you stay in the docking area? I'm not familiar with the save games it came with, I only ever played from the main starting points, but if the other starting points work, it doesn't sound like a bug.

If it's in one particular save, maybe the point of that save is to get yourself out of a situation where you don't have any fuel or engine fitted or something?

Refuel. Use fuel in cargo space for that, not just carry fuel in cargo.
