SakashiroTook my Courier from Colonia to Sagittarius A* yesterday.

Next stop: Beagle Point.




Made it to the Center, didn’t push for Beagle. Gotta give it a go on my next trip.
Safe Travels in the Void, CMDR. May your scans be sharp and your AFMU solid.

Thank you, CMDR. o7

I hope the route plotter won't send me past the point of no return. In theory, any scoopable star that is possible to reach without neutrons should be possible to return from. But I've had cases where I logged out with a route of N jumps plotted, and when I logged in again, reaching the same target suddenly required N + X jumps, a few more than before, despite all parameters being the same.

But then again, if the trip was perfectly safe, there would be no point in taking it, right?


No worries. Only thing I can think of for your plotter would be your ship's fuel levels. The weight makes a difference, as in you can jump further with less than a full tank, but not by much.
Permit Locked Systems have given me trouble in the past whilst on an exploratory journey.

You got that right, lol. The game is definitely not called "Elite Perfectly Safe"...

Even that isn't perfectly safe. You can get hung up in the slot or clip machinery that clutters the bay area...

I miss that Scottish traffic controller who talked shit if you were using a docking computer.

"One day you'll become a true pilot..."
"But... daaad! I'm already Triple Elite!"
"Shut up you dipsh*t, I saw you using docking assist!"

This was a thing? Why would they remove this? That sounds amazing! As it is, I wish that star ports traffic controllers would have customized greetings based on their faction and your standing/rank with them. For example if you hold a royal rank with the Empire, an imperial star port should greet you with respect to said rank. Same kind of thing for the Federation. If you are aligned with the opposing side of the controlling faction for the star port, they should insult you. I'm not asking for something extreme. Just things like "Welcome Admiral" or "Welcome your majesty" or "Welcome Fedneck, please try not to lick our windows" or "Welcome so-called King, we remind you that this is a Federal star-port. You cannot buy people here."

It was real. He said something like "Docking permission granted. Perhaps you should learn to fly your ship."

That would be awesome indeed. I like the little conversations they added to NPCs in the concourse, but there should be more. I'm kind of tired hearing the same five or six flight control officers saying the same things over and over again.

Of course that would be awesome. As well as more imagination-based various random stuff all over the game.

But... It seems too difficult.

This, recruits, is a 20 kilo ferous slug. Feel the weight! Every five seconds, the main gun of an Everest-class dreadnought accelerates one to 1.3 percent of lightspeed. It impacts with the force of a 38 kiloton bomb. That is three times the yield of the city buster dropped on Hiroshima back on Earth. That means Sir Isacc Newton is the deadliest son-of-a-bitch in space! Now! Serviceman Burnside, what is Newton's First Law?

Speaking of Star Citizen.... what do we think will most likely happen first? Odyssey and the rest of ED gets fixed, or Star Citizen gets out of Alpha testing phase?

SC: never leaves Alpha stage
ED: goes to Alpha stage after release

Its about to close, but the CG goal rewards on Inara are a bitr whack.

Top 10 - 20.5 mill
10% - 15.4 Mil
25% - 12.3 Mil
50% - 7.7 Mill
75% - 3.5 Mill .. not 14 mill as per inara.
100%- 450,000
