<h1>HARMLESS</h1>
<p class="tagline">
A browser tribute to <b>Elite</b> (1984).

<p class="namenote">
Harmless is the lowest combat rating in the game, and every commander
starts there. The top rating is <span class="rank">E L I T E</span>.
</p>
<p class="blurb">
You start docked at Lave with a Cobra Mk III, 100 credits and a
rating of Harmless. Buy cargo, jump to a world that wants it, and
sell it. Spend the profit on a better ship. Fight the pirates who
come for your hold, or run from them. Every kill moves you up the
ratings.

Docking at a space station. The station turns, and you must line up
with the slot. It is the hardest thing in the game at first.

<h2>What you do</h2>
<ul class="features">
<li><b>Trade.</b> Agricultural worlds sell food and furs cheaply.
Industrial worlds sell machinery and computers cheaply. Carry one
to the other and sell.</li>
<li><b>Jump.</b> A full tank takes you seven light years. Pick a
world on the chart and go.</li>
<li><b>Fight.</b> Pirates want your cargo. Your laser fires straight
ahead, and a missile locks on to whatever is in your sights.</li>
<li><b>Fly.</b> Choose the station, the rocks or the star, and the
ship flies there by itself. Skip the quiet part of the trip with
▶▶. Take the stick when pirates arrive.</li>
<li><b>Dock.</b> Line up with the slot and go in slowly. Buy a
docking computer when you can afford one.</li>
<li><b>Climb.</b> Every kill counts toward your combat rating. The
top rating is Elite.</li>

<h2>The 1984 galaxy</h2>
<p>
All 2,048 worlds of the original are here, across eight galaxies.
Each one has the same name, the same government, the same prices
and the same description as it had in 1984, because the game makes
them with the original's own arithmetic. Lave is still a rich
agricultural dictatorship at tech level 5.
