+'''Elite A''', or originally known as '''Elite III''' ([[Elite 2]] was an unpublished upgrade version of Elite for the BBC Micro) this rework of the BBC disk version of Elite by [[Angus Duggan]] became known as Elite-A with the release of the [[Frontier]] [[FFE|sequels]]. The release of Elite-A was permitted in 1997 ([[AFE_FAQ3|AFE FAQ]]).
 The player begins as the pilot of a humble Adder (with a maximum range of only 6.0 LY) and can purchase superior ships after earning significant money. Other notable changes include the addition of a contract system for the delivery of special cargos as quickly as possible.
