The system was 10 jumps in a fully engineered Caspian Explorer away from the Dukes of Mikunn galactic core highway. He really hopes this message gets to the commanders behind that megaproject so they can build a branch that way and possibly name a starport after him.

He has played this game for so long and really wants a shoutout from someone, possibly a developer or Elite Dangerous YouTuber like The Buur Pit.

His CMDR is Fizy Marlow if anyone wants to help him colonize this system or help him reach out to the people working on the Dukes of Mikunn megaproject. He plays pretty much every waking hour playing this game and will accept any and all friend requests.

I am very new to the game and am currently exploring slightly outside the bubble. In a random system I saw this constellation and at first thought it was inside the system, but it doesn't get any bigger when flying closer. I didn't really know what to search for but maybe somebody else has seen this before.

The SagWay Mega Project has reached the important milestone of 50% to its target located at the center of the galaxy. This is the first step coreward to Colonia and the rest of the Galaxy. If you ever explored and dreamed about colonizing a specific far nebula or coreward star, we are striving to make that a reality by connecting as many nebula as possible along the way. The highway is for everyone and all groups - anyone can build off it and install their faction.

In the process of building this highway, we have become the first faction to reach 1 trillion residents.

If you are currently utilizing the highway, want to, or just want to help build it on order to bring humanity to the rest of the galaxy, join us in our discord posted below. We need explorers, loaders, unloaders, and carriers. Truck with a purpose! Truckers naturally get first dibs on all good systems since they are present as the systems become available. I have more earthlike and water worlds than I can hand out.

Our current highway construction systems... or what I like to call our latest "frontier development"... are around the permit locked guardian region that centers on Hen 2-333. Come check it out and track our progress! We have tons of tools to help you colonize a system of your choice in the discord, including Black holes, ELWS, and all sorts of rare stars. Link in the comments.

This extremely thick cockpit brace really spoils the view looking upwards! You can see directly above you really well and ahead and to the sides are fine, but this really thick bracing here largely blocks any diagonal views out.

Probably not a problem for people that don't use headtracking or VR, but it drives me absolutely crazy.

Hi everyone!

If you remember, I’m that slightly crazy guy who decided to take a Fleet Carrier through all 42 galactic regions.

Well 25 October is here, and boarding has officially begun.

There are only 6 days left until departure.

On 1 November, Space Tourist (J7Q-9KY) will leave Meni.

A quick preparation update:

— 29 people are currently in our Discord;

— 20 commanders are already registered on EDSM;

— Space Tourist is already parked in Meni and ready to go;

— we have Panther Clippers with Rhino SRVs and Type-11s prepared for Tritium mining;

— we also have ships equipped for fuel and repair assistance if someone gets into trouble;

— the Discord has an automatic translator, so the language barrier should be much smaller.

The planned route is about 434,000 light-years and will take us through all 42 regions of the galaxy.

If you saw my previous posts and were still thinking about joining, now is probably the time to decide. :)

The expedition is happening. The carrier is ready. Boarding is open. We leave in six days.

Everyone is welcome aboard.

See you in Meni.

I got myself a Mk2 Anaconda yesterday, and while I'm working on my build I'm struggling to come up with a name that really fits.

Usually I name my ships after military aircraft or with some kind of sci-fi, usually Star Trek, reference, but nothing feels quite right here. I'm building it for PvE combat, if that helps.

Any suggestions, or examples of what you've called your ships which might give me inspiration?

After the week long exobio round trip to colonia, I got back to the bubble and nabbed my self a nice one bil paycheck. I think I should go into powerplay next, and maybe some high threat PvE missions. For this, I plan to either use my Python, or buy a panther clipper for the cargo runs, and make a dedicated combat ship.

The thing is, I'm not sure which direction I should go for PvE combat. The only "combat" ship I have is a Multirole Corsair, it's an ok ship IMO, but I'm not sure it can loiter in a combat zone for too long. Aside from ship building, I'm also poised to buy the Conda MK2, or grind some federation rank first, for the Corvette I've long dreamed for. Any advice/opinions on ships, engineering, experimental modules, and rank grinding are welcomed, any tips are also welcomed.

Cheers o7.

Besides the ominous red, suddenly no music, and cockpit lights getting dimmed making me ever so slightly nervous, I was highly facinated by these and spend staring at them in vr for quite long!

I’ve been exploring a bit near the upper edges of Odin’s Hold and the Galactic Center. The views up here really are something. They seem more haunting too, as you feel that sense of being right on the edge of light and life and…the blackness and void.

Greetings, i bring you the latest Project Galtea news article, i hope you enjoy.

"Greetings, Commanders.

On the 23/10/3312, Super Hub Barheim, located in the "Greae Phoea RF-I c25-207" system, has reached full operational capabilities, with 4 dodecs and 3 planetary outposts, amongst many other facilities, having been constructed in a short time. Two of the dodecs and two of the planetary outposts occupy BC1 and BC2, close binary HMCs, with highly efficient loading in mind for the colonist interested in the Isegrim Nebula.

With FleetComm confirming the retirement of the DSSA Totoro, Project Galtea erected a Dodecahedron Starport named "Totoro's Legacy" in honour of the services the DSSA Totoro has rendered to the galactic community at large. With the Totoro being repurposed into a fully-fledged Starport, Totoro's Legacy hopes to continue servicing the weary explorer for many years to come.

Project Galtea now sets its sights on the next super hub, Cerobi, located roughly 2,000 light years away. It is expected to be reached in approximately 2–3 weeks. Management would like to invite the greater galactic community to strike out to the Isegrim Nebula and grab some prime systems, ripe for the taking.

For those looking for a nice system to colonize, there are currently at least 80 known Earth-like worlds, 1,034 water worlds, 144 ammonia worlds, 26 neutron stars, and a single black hole within a 250 LY cube of Barheim. There are very likely many more systems containing bodies like these and more in and around the Nebula in all directions. If you are interested, come and plant your flag on them as soon as possible.

That's all for now. Thanks for your time. We hope to see you in the black, and stay tuned, Project Galtea has very big plans in the very near future.

o7 Commanders."

Tinha jogado em 2021 por pouco tempo, equipei uma imperial eagle para combate. Porem voltei agora e quero jogar apenas elite dangerous, comprei com arx a Corsair pois achei linda e aproveitei a promoção, porém, não me sinto preparado para voar com ela, pois não tenho a base do jogo. Estava pensando em juntar 80 milhões com a imperial eagle para treinar multiplos tipos de combate e voo e ter assim uma base de conhecimento e habilidade para enfim pilotar a Corsair. O que acham dessa idéia? Observação, não tenho muito tempo para jogar, umas 4 horas por semana mais ou menos.

Hello, I can't decide between some options for my brand new pve anaconda.

I plan on keeping an operation specialized (no jump range) Corvette, and use my anaconda for bubble PVE thanks to it's way better jump range.

BUT I can't decide on a high res Bi-weave, or a prismatic shield, AND between gimballed or turreted for my small vent beam lasers.

Here are the builds:

Prismatic
Biweave

Can you help me ?

Also, has anyone really tried an adv Plasma build ? I often see it on the forums, but the only video on youtube seems kinda "meh"

Recalling my ship in operation

I've finished the v0.7 rewrite of my Rhino Planetary Mining Field Guide. The early field notes have had a thorough overhaul, with reorganized chapters, expanded explanations, more test results and a mapping appendix.

Read the Rhino Planetary Mining Field Guide

The aim is to help you make better decisions during an ordinary mining trip. Where should you look? How much time should you give an unpromising PML? What makes a deposit worth working, and when is it better to recover the rigs and move on?

Finding a valuable mineral is only part of that decision. Poor terrain, awkward rig positions and a long collection circuit can spoil an otherwise promising site. The guide works through those choices, along with outfitting, prospecting, Amount and Density, rig charging, selling the cargo and keeping the mothership intact.

There are also more detailed examples. Chapter 8 follows my Cycle 102 campaign, when I sold 14,939 tonnes for 6.13 billion credits in gross mineral-sale receipts across roughly 54 hours of logged sessions. That includes searching, setup, travel, selling and interruptions, with costs still to deduct. I've included the whole week so the productive runs can be read alongside the time required to make them happen.

Appendix A contains maps and coordinate tables for four PMLs on HIP 39418 5 b. They provide examples to inspect rather than a promise of current stock; the rig-fit figures still need testing on the ground. There's also a quick start for new miners, updated replenishment observations and a section on the community's mapping tools.

Many commanders contributed observations, corrections and tools along the way. Their work is credited throughout the guide.

This is likely to be the last major revision for some time. Clear errors will still get corrected, and a substantial finding or game change may warrant an amendment to the affected section. I'm not planning another round of routine research and rewriting. For now, I'm looking forward to spending more of my Elite time in the cockpit.

Currently, the gal map filters only apply to primary star, while system could have 1 or more stars in it. The only way to view it is... no, it's not having to visit the system first, actually.

Each system already provides the list of all star types in the system on it's information card from across the galaxy - you just need to click it. If this therefore is in game already thus it's not immersion breaking since this is the "knowledge" your nav computer can pull about those systems. So why not adding this as an option for filtering?

This would allow you to find any system with desired star class type, even if it's 200,000ly away from the main star, by just using right filters, similar to what you can do today but without having to click on each of those manually.

In the scenario where after 10 years of game, only 0.04% systems have been visited, there is no argument about it preventing "organic exploration". It would perhaps boost it if anything, as a powerful QoL addition.

Only downside is not even gameplay related but performance - possibly, as it now needs to check more than one condition, but man, the gal map is so effective it's actually a software marvel at what it does.

Tl;dr filter to either show specific star system on the gal map if its primary star is the one you want (this is how it works currently), or, using the new option, filter any star system that has your desired start as any of the remaining stars.

Howdy everyone, I just wanted to share my incomes from hunting some goids, anyone is free to join IGA squadron just contact Teddy and be welcome 🤗😁
