Elite: Game talk

I wonder if some of these very strange and weird planets are present, speaking of planet made of pure diamond and an icy world being on fire.
I mean, I found a system with three blackholes and over dozen of suns either orbiting it or being tide locked by gravity (two blackholes orbited other - I can pretty much imagine its a massive amount of gravity over there). It was just purely epic to go from "meh" into full "HOLY SH--" upon realization something is pretty much odd.

Yep. I went to some odd pilgrimage to the brightest system in my close viccinity with the most far-jump capable setting on one ship.
I definitely wasn't expecting that. Like I said I went from "meh just a bright star" into total awe.

Inara is a wonderful resource to the ED community, I for one am very grateful to you for it's creation and the effort you continue to expend on its upkeep.
Thank you very much!

Damon8r351Just brought down Arn Anderson flying a Cobra Mk IV. Somebody break the news to Daniel Tosh.
I'd be more worried about the rest of The Four Horseman coming after me if I was you

Well, to need multicrew (as in multiple players) to move any ship would probably break everything in Elite. I was more thinking along the lines of the usual NPCs. Not just hiring them for to fly your SLF (or main ship respectively) but also have them to be there in your ship.
I can't remember if it was daily or weekly paychecks they received to keep working as your crew, but it would make me smile to actually have another incentive to earn all those credits out there.
Or if you're not earning enough, they'd sign off and leave you stranded. Or maybe do a mutiny of sorts, sending you back to the nearest port in a escape pod. You'd still have your money but would've lost the ship to them. And so on and so forth.
Yep, can't remember the number required for the Panther but the original booklet that came with the game mentioned something like 18 crew for the Anaconda and was it 10 for the Boa? Actually requiring NPC crew to fly I think would be a great addition to the game. Maybe even giving a minimum crew requirement below which things were available but in a restricted way (scanning might take a lot longer for example)
Anyway, been away from the boards for a few days and catching up with things. Happy New Year folks, couldn't find an emoji of a dying Minion though...
[Edit]
Hmm... looks like the Boa crew on the original was actually 15-28 and the Annie was 40-72! Ouch! That's a payroll and a half...
