Amata LireinWell then... seems like the NMLA didn't take kindly for not getting their mouthpiece Dexter elected by the Marlinist colonies and responded in kind...

Stillman Hub in HIP 22550 is now a damaged station...

Odd though that was the station that was used by Dexter. Guess Theta 7 wanted to silence her and maybe Whyte so they cannot give away information?

Either way: That will surely convince "your people" to support you after all, NMLA. Nice work!


Aaaaand confirmed:

GALNET - 29 JUL 3307 - NMLA Attacks Marlinist Starports

Pilots Federation ALERT

The NMLA has bombed two starports in the HIP 22550 and Hyades Sector RO-P b6-6 systems in the Marlinist Colonies.

Explosive devices were detonated at both Stillman Hub and Tilman Point stations. As is characteristic of weapons used by the NMLA, caustic enzyme payloads caused widespread corrosive damage.

The combined death toll is in the tens of thousands, with many more injured. There are unconfirmed reports that First Minister Jenna Fairfax is among the fatalities.

The following message was broadcast via NMLA propaganda channels:

“Why are they bombing their own homes? Why would Theta Seven kill his own people? Because they are not our homes! Not my people! They are prisons, not colonies, where traitors to the cause beg for scraps from those who exiled them. True Marlinists will never stop fighting until the Republic of Achenar is restored.”

The attacks are believed to be in response to Verity Dexter failing to win a public vote to lead the Marlinist Consulate, where she would have represented the NMLA political wing.
Prime Consul Kayode Tau, the elected candidate, announced:

“I call upon the galactic community to provide humanitarian aid to Stillman Hub in HIP 22550 and Tilman Point in Hyades Sector RO-P b6-6. We urgently require ships to evacuate the people trapped within these starports to safety.”

Where I want to go when they get Elite Dangerous Odyssey working right on PC and for Xbox/PS. What could be waiting past those old doors I wonder. More tech, an old ship, or something else?

Nothing, unfortunately. Guardian ruins are part of the pre-Odyssey content that remains unchanged in the game.

Ture but what about the content that is coming later in Odyssey? I'm hoping for a lot of new things to find with new Guardian ruins and the like. I'm still hoping for a Guardian space station or the like as a new find. It'd be so much fun for everyone!

I know I'm asking too much but I'd like to hope this could lead to a new Powerplay faction, and potentially an overhaul to it.

I have no expectations that it'll be the case, but one can hope.

Hello Commanders,

Looking for some good advice - planing that rite of passage trip to Colonia. I will take the scenic route, so not hitching a ride on someone's carrier.

What's the best ship to take? I am inclined to do the Anaconda, even if my Explorer has a longer jump range. I read some of you say that you still get interdicted in some far away places, plus there might be some mercenary work in Colonia too. And there is nothing sweeter than reading NPC messages of the "I didn't expect this" kind.

I am thinking also that unlocking guardian FSD booster first should help?

Clearly this kind of trip will take some time for someone like me who doesn't have that much time to play. Where do you stop overnight? I read there are asteroid bases out there, but how do you find them other than dropping in the system and scanning? Realistically one could land on the planet and logout there, but it seems to me there is a special "it's not a bug it's a feature" that makes you materialize inside the planet and blow up upon re entering the game. So is the safest practice to just stop somewhere in the system away from the star and planets and reenter there ?

Any special equipment you would recommend?

Thanks !

The Anaconda is a great deep-space ship with long jump range and lots of module space.

But I’m rather fond of my Krait Phantom explorer build, a smaller and more manoeuvrable ship, better cockpit views and still enough space for priority modules (SRV bay, AMFU etc). Jump range can be extended to 60+ Ly with Guardian Booster and judicious engineering.
