Is the clipper at all viable for the hardest hasres if you engineer the poo poo out of it? Remember having great fun with it back in Jotunheim

Space station legs sounds pointless but it would still be neat to wonder around inside and customise a ship, a la Mass Effect.

Also I can't believe they still haven't added NPCs chilling out in spaceports etc. Seems like that should be really simple but effective for :immersion:

It would be neat to watch your ship getting deluxe valeted from like a waiting room or observation deck. Or a new paint job. Probably not worth the effort though right.

Edit: maybe you could watch those things from free camera mode

I have discovered IGR J1104-6103, a pulsar with jets that are moving at a whopping 0.8c :stare:

It's not in game :negative:


I went from a DBX to a Phantom for my deep space exploration. It's great, as I can carry two+ AFMUs, a huge scoop, and a FSD booster.

Space Question: do pulsar jets really rotate at the speed depicted in Elite? For some reason I thought they whipped round a lot faster

Why the aggro, friend? Did the pretty space flowers really bring problems, or were you already scared by the slander and lies spread against their name? Don't let yourself be blinded by hate!

Ooooh ok. I thought they were all supposed to look like that and Frontier slowed em down for whatever reason :rolleyes: that's super cool anyway (still think stars would look cooler in E:D if they were more incandescent or there was an option for that)

Global warming happened, but luckily space travel started being common around the same time that things became really bad. Most humans on Earth either died or evacuated, and now Earth itself has a tiny population compared to Mars or other major worlds. You can see the effects of sea level rise on the coasts if you look closely.

edit: Do you want to know more?

Fens gave up and got back in the sea I see

Edit: Wait, is that a crater?
