Creamy Goodness IIII had a pirate follow my mining ship into a ring. I boosted as soon as I dropped out of supercruise and the NPC dropped in right in my path killing us both.

That's a full hold of voids I didn't get to sell. I turned Elite off for a few hours after that



Thats just it... Not one damned thing was there. I mean, clear shot out of the ring. I throttled up and boom. It was like someone put an a-bomb under my seat. I sent a request to Frontier for a reason why. But, I dunt expect those pecker heads to do anything but laugh their asses off. Oh, the shields did go down first like the module was destroyed first. I think FDEV likes to frack with its gamers. It's not the first time it has happened. My ship exploded in a hanger before. Couldn't figure that one out either.


Note to self. Stop cooking crack in ship.

Ok, so I know I'm new around here, but I have a question... Situation first: The server was 5 minutes from going down for maintenance. I was waiting on a fellow Squadron Commander to depart Godwin so I could turn in a mission. He lifted off, and before I could request docking another ship jumped the line, and blocked my dock. They took FOREVER to land, and then sat on the pad for the whole 5 minutes doing who knows what. They FINALLY went into the hangar and I BARELY had time to land before the server went down. Question: How do you direct message a ship/commander not in your friends list. I had some choice words I would liked to have passed along but didn't quite know how to tell them where to stick it. I mean, clear the pad.

Any CMDR in the same instance with you will be in your local tab. You can see their names through upper left panel (key 2 by default if you are using keyboard). So you can just shout in local chat or click on name of desired CMDR and contact him directly.

If you have a CMDR targeted and you try to send a message the default option is direct message.

It shows as [To CMDR...] instead of local, system, wing, squadron...

Well, well, well...

Time for all you Fednecks to show your true colors. What shall it be?

Democracy or Capitalism above all?

Do you really care about your fellow citizens or the almighty credit?

Good thing us Imperials do not have to worry about this question ever due to our social safety net.

As a cruel opportunist if no good reward I will support both with the lowest possible effort to mark my participation

Amata LireinGood thing us Imperials do not have to worry about this question ever due to our social safety net.


Because working as a slave in a mining outpost is better than those who live in poverty under the Federation?

And once again someone shows he does not know how Imperial slavery works...


As you'll see from that wiki article: Yes, the system has flaws and individual cases of violations of laws and regulations exist, but Imperial society look down on people doing so.

So it's pretty nice of Down To Earth Astronomy to fly his discord server out to Colonia. I might just build a Phantom to jump to Sag A from there, too. This'll be fun, and I'll actually be able to do some meaningful exploration while I'm out there!

He's one of the first people I watched when getting back into ED. Him, Obsidian Ant, and Hawkes. Heading to Colonia is one of two things I haven't done in the game, but I'd like to do it with others rather than myself. Xeno combat is the other.
