I may never go back to the bubble again.
Guardian Site: A buried artifact rose up from the ground with a rumble as I approached. I have been subjected to creepy, eerie sounds ever since I landed. It was dark when I arrived, gave me chill bumps. Not as scary when the site is illuminated by the dual red suns overhead. Video up next.
Have a Krait day!

ECM 2020 - 11th April, Cambridge - the first big Elite social of the year.

Posted: 02 Feb 2020 01:08 PM PST

Pilots of the Elite Community - it's that time of year when we once again extend our invitation to come and join in ECM. Last year was Manchester, before that, Basingstoke, the year before Bristol, then Glasgow but this year we're heading to CAMBRIDGE. Yes, we'll be just around the corner from Frontier themselves.....

It's put on BY the community themselves - volunteers and fellow commanders.... giving up their free time and energy to put everything together.

The event is dedicated to the social, to playing games, to meeting fellow commanders and to having a laugh. Last year we had VR rigs, retro gaming, an XBox/Playstation corner, two projectors for multi-player gaming fun, board and card games and of course Hutton Orbital Live from the stage in the evening. We had a room dedicated to a multi-crew Artemis session, a HUGE retro gaming corner and some of the Frontier team turned up an joined in the shenanigans. 182 commanders last year packed the place out and had a whale of a time - already 150 places are filled for this year!

The event is not for profit - ticket prices go to the costs of the hire, and any surplus is split two ways between SpecialEffect and Hearing Dogs for the Deaf. Last year we were able to donate £2500 to each charity thanks to the community generosity.

Tickets are £12.50 (yes, that's CHEAPER than last year!) including your lunch which has been kindly sponsored by Frontier Developments themselves (seeing as we're just around the corner from them).

If you want to join us for evening dinner, the venue has a restaurant and a bar and you pay on the day - likely opening for the event is from 10am until 11pm (out by midnight).

As we are NOT in a hotel venue this year, we wanted to make sure you could all easily get there from nearby hotels - so we're putting on a shuttle bus from near hotels and maybe even the station - bringing people over in the morning and sending them home at kicking out time during the evening

http://elitecommunitymeet.info for details - Spidermind have confirmed they're coming, as have HCS and we've got confirmation that many of the team from Frontier will be popping in.

If you're coming and want to bring a computer to rig to the LAN setup, or VR to run some games, or an old retro computer, please let us know and we can make space for you - we're particularly hunting for more for the retro corner whether it be a BBC Micro running Elite, or an old Amiga, even ageing MarioKart gear for some shenanigans. Spidermind will be showcasing their new LevelUp, EDRPG and Battlecards (of which we'll have MANY games on the go as we'll all have it by then). We have confirmation that Frontier are bringing along some of their classic games from their back catalogue as well to have a go with.

There's a raffle - last year we were sponsored by TinMan Games as well as Spidermind, HCS and Frontier with some great prizes - there was also an enormous haul of items donated by the attendees - many of which were hand crafted "money can't buy" things like paintings you may have seen online by BeetleJude, etched glassware, dog tags, patches and much more.

We look forward to catching up with old friends and making new ones there! Set up is on the Friday night and the crew and any early arrivals normally have a dinner outing once we're all set up, followed by games of Cards against Humanity and others in our hotels.

We look forward to seeing you all there for the biggest and best ECM yet!

Like, I heard of the fuel rats that will go to Beagle point and beyond to bring you fuel, but... I was mining Low-Temp diamonds with a guy from my squadron and he had a cutter, while I was in a cobra, and he just said "like, take everything" and told me to just fire a collector limpet while he dropped all the LTDs. And he didn't even asked for anything, and said "well the ones that help each other are the ones that survive in the galaxy XD" Well, a magnificent thank you, friend !
