I'm away from the bubble and will be a while still, but very curious... Anyone near Sol, can you please tell me what's going on in the Trappist-1 system, if there even is one?

Very intrigued by recent Nasa news, and curious how ED will handle incongruous reality when it's in the middle of BGS.

I tried to find it, but I weren't able to figure out where it is even located. It is neither in the game by its new Name of TRAPPIST-1, nor by the ID 2MASS J23062928-0502285.

If someone could point out to me how to read those coordinates, I know so far that these are angles, but I don't know what reference point they use.

There is no system at those coordinates and the closest system which has a brown dwarf near there would be Core Sys Sector XU-P a5-0.

Good day commanders, my name is Kira Sekemoto and I have a small, active group of three wingmen looking to merge with another active group of pilots that share our goal. Zachary Hudson needs more men and women collaborating with one another in order to turn the tide of this dire situation. The Federation needs more unified effort. Instead of us continuing to act on our own in what 'we' think is best, it would be more wise to join minds. Message me if you're interested, we would actually prefer to merge with multiple groups so by all means tell your friends and neighbors. Fly safe out there commanders, the Federation isn't as safe as it used to be.

Well, I suppose that's all better than having a well established system there that doesn't match reality. Bonus for the first commander to "discover" it once it appears, I suppose.

Thank you both for checking. I appreciate it.

Someone on the forums suggested that discovery credit should go to "CMDR NASA".

I agree.

It's Here! New Release: Saitek X52 Elite Setup Version: 2.2.3!
.
So, now both the X52Pro AND the X52 "ELITE" setup are compatible with HCS voice packs.
.
It will now show up as a pre-built configuration in the in game controller drop down.
.
It is working with the latest release of Astra that came out this week with all of the engineer locations, on my mark commands, and ED Journal interactions.
.
The Alternate flight commands are now working properly with a "hack" I made to the binds file. You can now activate all 9 axis of controls on the stick and throttle with the press of a button allowing horizontal and vertical fine tuned control. They aren't on all the time now! Only upon request. :-D
.
We also added a "pip", by default, to mark the center of your screen. Hopefully useful for fixed weapons, and aligning with targets.
.
For those unfamiliar with the "X52 Elite Setup" it's a complete HOTAS setup that allows you access to EVERY command in the game at your fingertips on the stick and throttle, no need for a keyboard! Awesome for VR and everyone else too. Get ready to be immersed and have the best Elite Dangerous gaming experience that a piece of hardware can provide!

This is outstanding work. Thank you! I'm looking forward to trying out the mappings. Different than mine, but seem very efficient.

These are usually found in systems that are in a WAR/CIVIL WAR state, right? You can just filter for those in your galaxy map. Higher population systems, especially ones with RES locations, should be good choices, once you have the local faction reputation to get them.
