ED's Federation in a nutshell. (Yes, I know that's Winter's coat of arms.)


That said, I have several queestions in regard to the Federation. Firstly, will 3305 mark end of Hudson's presidency? How come there's a shadow cabinet, which is rather more British Parliment's thing? What is relationship between Federation and Alliance, despite obvious PowerPlay hostilities (I mean, Hudson and Winters are hostile to each, which is the only case of inter-superpower hostility in entire PP.)

The federation seems to be built on the government of the United States, with British elements sprinkled in there. This could be because of the possible melding of western governments before a devastating war (we do know that in the Elite universe, there was a terrible war on earth before space travel was a common thing). It's also possible that the hostility between the Federal powers is a commentary on the current US political division (even age-old countries go through times of unity and times of division, this would be no exception to the powers of Elite).

As for Hudson's term, that's up to Frontier. Since there is the Thargoid threat, they may enact a special clause that would allow him to have a longer term because of the emergency situations.

(Wettoast) Wanda FersegiOh god no, another term of Hudson and there won't be a federation at the end of that one

BolasieI assume the intent is that the drives create a hyperspace (or 'warp' if you are a trekkie) bubble, so in fact you are not moving FTL - your ship is barely if at all moving in fact, but the 'bubble' is being squeezed through spacetime, so shifting your position. In which case the basic rule of the speed of light remaining constantt would apply, except for a minimal shift as it passes into or out of that 'bubble'. And its a game, which is probably the more salient point LOL

Galen ReynoldsI always thought the Frame shift drive worked more like stargate's hyper drive, where it opens a window to something like sub space you travel at insane speeds till another window opens and dumps you are your destination.

(Wettoast) Wanda FersegiCould your own character reference the Sagittarius eye magazine in universe ? For example going " Hey, I saw person X's name in the Sagittarius eye magazine while scrolling through my newsfeed in a starport " Would that break anything in universe, or worse break immersion ? ( The "I" word ? )

Kari KerenskiSag Eye does a great job at respecting the lore and is written as a Pilot's magazine, so personally I don't see any problem with it

Inh1b1ted UKCGNo there is no canon on the alliance generals who or where in game present.
