I haven't played Elite in any of its forms since August 2021. It was very easy to put down and I felt no urge to pick it up and play it anymore. After 5000+ hours, all the joy and novelty in the game has been sucked dry and I will not be returning. I...
TURN. THE. WHEEL.THE FEDERATION IS A PACK OF HYENAS PULLING EACH OTHER APART. THE EMPIRE IS BUILT ON ROTTING FLESH. THE ALLIANCE IS BUT A VEIL OF LACE. THE PILOTS FEDERATION IS BOTH THE HOOD AND THE NOOSE. MY EYES HAVE BEEN OPENED. WE MUST SET THE UNIVERSE IN MOTION....
crowded commsI'm abiding by the following comms procedure when utilizing a fleet carrier as a mining taxi. , Inbound , on final , docked and secure. This is simply to keep the carrier aware of my movements so they maintain traffic awareness. Crowded systems...
Fleet rationalizationI have pared down much of my fleet. I do not see much use in storing a heavy combat ship in Colonia when I can use its funds to pay for a fleet carrier, and use said carrier to transport the whole heavy combat ship to Colonia-- without stripping it of...
Post-Perseus Reach log #1I'm sitting in deep space, listening to the whir and click of the synthesizer refill my AFMUs. Everything's powered down except for life support, and I'm peering at the map. My current position is just outside the first planet in the Rendezvous Point...

Perseus Reach 3-4-5 combined logI am currently sitting somewhat shy of one-quarter of the way to Colonia, on the shores of the region known as The Fallows. This region is a gap between the Orion arm and the Perseus arm, and exhibits markedly lower stellar density. This poses a challenge...
Perseus Reach 2Bedded down inside the bubble sector at the waypoint. In all things, accidents happen. So it goes that as I was in supercruise, sipping my coffee I, for reasons occluded to my perception, decided to not just bump the hyperspace drop switch but slam...
Perseus Reach 1Samba Tranquille is currently powered down, perched on the edge of a crater near Geosite 10 on Tethys. Time to savor the view of familiar stars; I won't see Saturn again for another 5 months. The geysers here are exceptionally strong, and combined with...
