GiyariI must be one of the only Elite players who didn't care much for Salomé. Though I also don't care much for SDC. Honestly just indifferent to the whole thing, lol!



Right there with you.


Ditto.

Conspiracy theory time! What is Felicity Farseer up to? Downed ships at her base... a bunch of automated miners... drones protecting a crashed ship inside her base. What is she hiding? Is she working with the Thargoids? I can't prove she isn't! *sets down beer*

The automated miners are just a random possibility to pop up when travelling across the surface with the SRV. As for the crashed ship inside the base: module enhancement gone wrong and just wants to salvage the remains, protecting it from scavengers?

Sane, rational explanations have no place in conspiracy theories! Begone!

Reverend, Lave Revolution is also a good background story. Drew's novels are essential of course, and Mostly Harmless is a firm favourite of mine. Wanted is also an excellent read. If your taste leans forward comedy, try the slightly bizarre Docking Is Difficult.

Oh, just get them all!

Luke3107Everything would be so much better if people stopped complaining about HP and instead commended the efforts of the ACTUAL GOOD GUYS.

I, for one, would much rather hear "Despite the Valiant efforts of Lorens Legion, Salome perished" Instead of "Harry Potter killed Salome". Can we get reports and mentions of the goddam HEROES instead of the villians PLEASE?!?!?!

Edit: This is what I mean: We've all seen Drew Wagars write up title Aftermath. This is the guy who's damn BOOK is being concluded. How many times is Harry Potter mentioned? 4. 4 goddam times he is mentioned BY NAME. How often are the people who were in her wing mentioned? None. Zilch. Zero. Sorry, but I can understand the playerbase being a bunch of salty gits, but seriously Drew? Tha's a big fuck you to those who damn well helped.

I'm not bothered that Salome died. Disappointed, sure. But not about to bandy around accusations of scripting etc.

What I AM bothered about is the fact that EVERYONE HERE is so hung up on the SDC doing what they've ALWAYS done, that no one is giving a flying toss about the likes of our own CMDR Isaiah Evanson who spent months preparing for this event and helped it reach its conclusion. WHY is no-one giving a frigging stuff about the goddam good guys??

Well I'm having none of it. Congratulations to the Children of Raxxla, Lorens Legion, and everyone else who defended Salome and her counterparts. You all faced insurmountable odds and lost only 1 of the 4 people you were escorting. That deserves a much greater amount of recognition than you are getting. Hell, it deserves a goddam medal in my book.

And you know what? Those of you who are claiming it's scripted are giving as much of a middle finger to the guys defending her as Drew just did. Seriously, you wanted to play a game where you'd have a say in what happens. Here it is. It's called Elite: Dangerous. You all seem to forget that other players don't share the same goal as you, and they get a damn say in things too.


how about the PC people not forget that the other THREE objectives in that event made it to their destination, the mission was accomplished. It's horrible that she died but don't forget that the message survived.

Phisto and his group, Newton's Fusiliers, helped immensely on the Xbox side. Yuri Nakamura has said as much too.

The Xbox contribution hasn't gone unnoticed.

***break, break, different topic***

Galnet today says the Feds lost a battlecruiser to Thargoids. Anybody know if the site of the battle exists in-game, because if so then I know what I'm doing with my Friday night.
