It has some of the absolute rock-bottom prices for metals and minerals in Elite’s massive galaxy. Places like Jordan Stop are why I've started keeping a book within reach when I play Elite, and have had to start making new music playlists just to keep things fresh. There are no stars anywhere nearby, nor any other planets or asteroid belts. The space station is roughly 250,000 light-seconds away from the main star in its solar system, and even at faster-than-light speeds, it's a long, boring flight to get out there. I was doing "one last flight" before bed when I spotted a lucrative contract for a cargo run to Jordan Stop, a semi-legal mining outpost in the the absolute middle of nowhere. Elite encapsulated itself during one of my most recent sorties.
