I am hoping someone reading this played the original Elite. I was thinking about buying the origin NES cartridge to play the game but I want to know if you can buy new ships.

I read the game manual and couldn't easily find reference to buying a new ship, however there was a long list of other ships in the manual all with differing cargo bay sizes and weapons capacity etc

I'd love it if you can buy ships. Otherwise I might get a bit bored just flying the skywinder or whatever it is called.
