links page Uploaded
November's star
maps Brought online a page of Winamp skins with a Frontier theme
which can be downloaded
here. More skins to be added as time
allows Another small change, adding a scan
of the back of the Dark Wheel novella to the
official fiction page Just a
small change to the front page, with some Frontier Elite 2 pictures
added Added
mission problems page, offering help to commanders when a
mission appears to be failing Uploaded
October's star
maps Added Frontier
star systems list, which contains information on all systems
within Frontier Elite 2 and Frontier First Encounters which contain at
least one starport. This list was originally compiled by Sven-Erik
Lindkvist aka Schwempa but despite my best efforts I have been unable to
contact him. Therefore this list will be removed promptly if he registers
any objection to its use within this site. (Does this get me off the
hook??) Re-wrote large sections of the site to make it more
compatible with screen resolutions higher than 800x600. Some pages work
better than others, and I can't be bothered fixing all the star maps at
the moment, but it should look Ok now at 1024x768 and maybe
higher Ahem. The star maps page works fine
unfortunately my explanation of how they are accurate for various times
during the month was well...erm..completely wrong! As any competent
astronomer will tell you, stars rise 4 minutes earlier each night,
not later. Duh! Uploaded September's star

pages to the same one - Verdana. Re-arranged some pages as a
result Added star
maps page, featuring monthly star charts for a selection of
latitudes. Also rewrote some HTML code to provide more compatibility with
