Elite: Game talk

On the right side (or below, on mobile) is a link to the discord chat. It works in most browsers, but I don't have a console so I'm not sure if it works there.

I went out for a couple of days doing some mapping, and when I returned to the Colonia bubble I saw a new supership orbiting in the Colonia system, named "Dove Enigma". Then, on a hunch, I popped over to Ogmar system to see if the station we'd been working the CG for a couple of weeks back was there and, sure enough, "Whirling Station" is there. Doesn't have a shipyard and doesn't have squat for modules, but it's there.

Aye! There's a charity expedition currently ongoing to that megaship from the bubble to raise money for a CMDR's cancer treatment, Fdev named the ship after then CMDR

Full details for the trip can be found HERE

It may be his last flight, so the community is going en masse - nearly 500 Cmdrs at last count

To all going, fly safe and see you out there! o7

X HpG L3gAcY Xcan you explain how to award rank of Chief of staff?


Wing > Roster > Edit Roster

Select it from the second drop-down box. You will need to have at least 50 members for it to appear (so you won't see it yet!)

I believe Upsilon Aquarii is still favoured, though it was also said that the missions there somehow got scarce lately.

When in doubt try to find Systems where the Stations are very deep inside. Build your Reputation in neighbouring Systems to get good paying missions, the usual drill.

Good luck out there.

Servers seem online again.

Paige on the Elite forums says it was just a blip. If you had the game running and can't get on after the servers came back online, she recommended doing a reset.

While it's not a happy reason for a trip like that, I think it's awesome so many are rallying around to support him. I definitely want to be there when everyone arrives.

Hi All

Does anyone have a good blueprint for a Type 10 Defender kitted out for hitting the Thargoids? I have the type 10 and 1bil to spend on upgrades.

All the large AX multicanons and an AX fighter bay for the swarm, pretty much covers it. Healy beam turrets on the others if you're winging. And then hull tank it to high heaven with a bi-weave shield.

What Giyari said pretty much covers it. You should be able to gear it up with 500-600mil credits, depending on system discounts and degree of your lavishness :-)
