I purchased an Elite the day it released and I haven't had a single problem with it. I even move it a lot because I always take it with me when I go to a friends house. I dont want to hear anything about "Elites and Pros destined for death". ^.^
"Dear Humanity, we regret being alien bastards, we regret coming to Earth, and we most definetly regret that the Corp just blew up our raggedy ass fleet! HOO RAH!"
