Elite: General talk

I'd like to spray obscene words on Thargoids and throw them into a settlement full of some goofs with a catapult.

Earning merits from rare commodities is no longer a thing. Like why? Only left thing is power conflict zones which is 2-3 times longer normal high intensity conflict zone or farming power data/items from settlements

I love "Patreus has silly hair"
In general I enjoy the effect of PP2 on stations, with the holos, the flags, the pro and anti graffiti. It makes the places feel more real, like it actually is not the same place everywhere you go. Hope that more changes are coming (and not just cosmetics).

HaraldsenReminds me of those that have been in the Pleiades, like "Deliver us Salvation", or "Bugs Get Squashed". There was also one that looked like a Thargoids forbidden sign showing the flower like design with a dash through it.

Someone apparently spotted a “Salvation [O]Lives” tag on a station somewhere (probably in the Bubble?) the day of the update. I wasn’t sure whether intentional or just because Frontier reused the same code as for those older ones.

Because they’re looking at how it performs in the wild and are doing some balancing. Or exploit fixing, as is the case with a power data duplication exploit.

Greetings Commanders,

In order to investigate and resolve an issue we are temporarily suspending Powerplay gains via the following methods:

Rare Goods Trading
Settlement Data Delivery
Escape Pods

Once we have resolved this issue these options will be enabled again.

I’m sure you would, just make sure it is a target you and the Thargoids agree on. Like a place full of Azimuth idiots, or wherever Archer has scurried away to after Hudson got booted out of the office.

Releases messy update, fix/balance em them later. The good old frontier we love.

"Aisling was born out of wedlock and her father was disqualified from the succession, " and "... Her carefully cultivated public persona" and "...Aisling's backer's interests acquire controlling stakes in newsfeed and media networks"


Sound like bastard and a puppet. But all politicians are, so, she is just one of them.

"Nakato who" is also spot on.

It's kinda funny, actually.

Yeah, the Thargoids themselves can fly, but launching them with a catapult has that sweet touch of insanity I want this operation to have. Imagine those idiots being showered with Cyclopes covered in uncensored unfiltered graffitis, and they also woo loudly. Like those WWII bomb whistles or Stuka sirens, but woo.

Surreal ...... I like it!

Here is a nice tool to find the direction to specific coordinates

Strange, that you cant set your destination on a planet by coordinates.

Aleksander MajjamOkay guys. If your character had a theme song, what would it be.

I'm expecting an answer from Sappho too.  :D


Ghost Dance (Can you hear me?).

AHNot sure, can you land on the Moon in ED but here is a nice update idea for the Elite Dangerous team.
Heat Is Radiating From A Huge Mass Under The Moon

You can’t. The Moon is singled out in ED as a no-landfall non-atmospheric rocky body.
(The article is interesting, though; thanks for the link.)

Dang it, first part of the Raxxla Goose Chase in Sol is done:

Haha, that is really insane how the player base decided to take that crackpot theory to empirical testing! Let's see how long until Mother Gaia is reduced to 1%

What planet or moon do we think Cocijo is going to orbit in Sol? I would laugh my ar*e off if it was Triton. But am curious what you folks think.

It would be triton that would make cocijo protected by the permit which nobody has...
