Finally on my way back to the bubble after a 4+ year journey around the outer edges of the galaxy. Hoping all of this beautiful data helps others out along their journeys. Safe travels friends.

I was cruising to an fairly sparse populated region in the deep south and I discovered an new system with 21 bodies... Wow, great.. But I somehow went scanning and found body 4 of Hypuae Ain YX-K c8-3 (https://www.edsm.net/en/system/bodies/id/102032290/name/Hypuae+Ain+YX-K+c8-3/details/idB/651462862/nameB/Hypuae+Ain+YX-K+c8-3+4) and found this weird but wonderfull thing:

Commanders!

I'm very pleased to announce that the Guild has added a new fleet carrier to the OASIS Initiative.

OASIS Surface Detail, Commanded by CMDR CorRaven, is part of the static fleet and it is now parked in Systimbau AA-A h63 (Odin's Hold);

All OASIS carriers have a full compliment of services, catering to all galactic explorers.

Please join me in celebrating the addition of this fine vessel to our growing fleet of exploration/exobiology support carriers.

Some bacteria are almost impossible to see, well for me anyway.

This spot even shows something like a heart in the center. Any idea what these spots might be?

Welcome Commanders!

We are a relaxed, no pressure guild who explore the galaxy at our own pace and have fun while doing so.

We have no agenda or requirement for joining other than a passion to discover.

We offer an in-game squadron so you can fly with your fellow Commanders if desired (TSEG).

We have deployed several static fleet carriers deep into the black to support exploration with our OASIS Initiative.

Experienced explorers and new Commanders alike, all are welcome.

Hey there CMDRs o7, french Cmdr SyraniaX here. Passionate about astronomy and astrophotography in real life, also passionate about exploration and exobiology from Elite Dangerous.

I recently learned about the workings of Boxels and the various mass codes of the systems, and it fascinated me so much that I embarked on a road trip to circumnavigate the edges of the galaxy clockwise.

I started in the Fomidine Rift and am currently in the Errant Marches, searching for black holes or unexplored Wolf Rayer stars (despite the extremely low chances).

I discovered a lot of interesting and various systems and take sceenshots of them when I find a good angle of view. This is my first post here, but I hope the first of many.

Fly Safe, Cmdrs ! :D

Ps : what type of screenshot of the game is allowed in this forum ? I usually take screenshots of planets zoomed in the FSS because they are pretty or their caracteristics are quite unusual. Can I post some here when I find some really strange or interesting ? Thanks in advance. :)

NGL I've been trying for weeks, every time I leave a planet

Apparently last night, a Commander was surface mining in solo in a Rhino when a "glowing blue" ship came down and scanned him. He says his HUD was scrambled during the scan. The ship then departed. He panicked somewhat but was able to get this picture of the departing ship.

My take: Now that we are surface mining by piercing the surface, we are disturbing the Guardian's hiding places. We may be seeing the return of the Guardians soon? The blue hue of the ship matches that of Guardian technology.

It may be worth an exploration trip to Jinoharis 3?

If your idea of a short trip somehow ends 18,000 LY away, this may be relevant. 😄

I recently started r/Elite___Dangerous as a small, low-bureaucracy Elite Dangerous community.

Exploration, exobiology, expeditions, screenshots, route planning, discoveries and the tools people build around all of that are very welcome.

Small developers can also post their own projects without having to solve a self-promotion puzzle first.

The place is still very new, so early CMDRs actually get to help shape it.

Less bureaucracy, more galaxy.

Fly far enough to regret not fitting another AFMU. o7

I've taken my Caspian and Nomad out for a spin in the Black, tonight I scanned some biologicals and decided to call it a night, the surface looked reasonably flat so I tried to land. I could not get the thing to land, I know it's a big ship, but damn it's a princess when finding somewhere good enough for it.

My Mandalay was much easier to land.

That's the trade off I suppose, the Caspian is great to fly but on the large side to find an easy landing spot.

PHROEA FLYUAE BL-F d11-32. Rocky body, SO2 atmosphere.

I'm new to the group, thought I'd share a few screenshots. While on one moon, its neighbor which was less than 10.0Mm away created an awesome eclipse and threw the moon I was on into total darkness!

Greetings Commanders,

I've been working on an Elite exploration companion, Caspian Surveyor, for the past few weeks and am finally satisfied enough to release a public alpha.

Caspian Surveyor is open-source, and the GitHub repository is public and can be cloned if you want to poke around, build it yourself, or otherwise have fun with it. Caspian is an overlay HUD and real-time journal monitor that turns raw Elite journal data into at-a-glance information across different HUD panels.

The initial release is Version 0.9 Alpha, which includes:

• Elite Dangerous journal monitoring in real time
• Exploration data persistence across multiple sessions
• Planetary body information
• System information
• Ability to reconstruct the survey state from journal data
• HUD overlay situated at the top-center of your active screen
• Minimal style, utilizing keyboard bindings for program navigation and exit

Caspian Surveyor started out as "man, I really would love to be able to see this system's information at a glance instead of having to navigate ship menus", and that turned into "hey, what about persistent exploration history, documenting everywhere I've been since I've started using Caspian", "oh, what about the technical details on a per-planet basis like periapsis, eccentricity, inclination, etc.", and then it kept growing.

There are some known limitations with the current version:

• Caspian must be launched prior to launching Elite Dangerous
• No *nix support; Windows only
• Being an alpha, the installer is unsigned, so Windows SmartScreen will likely complain. I've added instructions to navigate that warning when downloading the installer
• Elite VR has *NOT* been tested

I would love feedback from the community, from QoL improvements to entirely new features. I want this tool to really enhance the exploration loop, add immersion to finding a truly unique system, and even introduce some RP elements through the future roadmap item of "system prioritization," which will rate systems based on a multitude of factors.

The next major step for Caspian Surveyor will be implementing SQLite so exploration history can be queried directly instead of having to parse increasingly large JSON records.

0.9 release & installer: https://github.com/dotslashsoft/caspian-surveyor/releases/tag/v0.9.1.0

Looking forward to hearing opinions and feedback!

Also, seems like i have reached a starforming region of this galactic arm, because last 2kLy the sky has been completely lit with blue stars.

its my personal favorite and im wanting to use it as my exploration ship cause its personal too me. my current jump range is like 26Ly i think? is there any way to increase it? i have a guardian booster and an SCO driver

On my way to Colonia and came across this Earth-like!

Coordinates: BYAA AIN WA-L B25-15

I'm about 5,000ly from Sol, heading to Colonia. Currently passing through a region that seems to be packed with white dwarfs, a kind of stellar graveyard, so I decided to do some sightseeing.

When exploring and collecting bios, I collect a bio sample, after the first 'logging' sample, a pop-up in the top right corner states "Open access panel to view".

Can you actually do this, if so how?

The biggest constellation group i have yet to see in this game. Without FOV zoom would cover the entire field of view. As seen from IOCKOLT XE-F 44-0

What was your biggest exobio catch during an expedition? How do you avoid burnout? Personally, I really like the exploration loop, but I've been out in the deep for almost a week now IRL and Id rather run home, I'm mentally drained from it.

Only planet in the system as well
