    In-game memorial for Evelyn Faye Roy, CMDR Jellowiggler's daughter

    Posted: 17 Sep 2020 04:21 AM PDT

    Folks. You may remember the sad story of Evelyn Faye Roy, an 11 year old girl who died earlier this year of neuroblastoma. Her father, CMDR Jellowiggler, is a big fan of Elite Dangerous.

    I wrote a story about her, placing her in the universe of the game. Frontier have just put a memorial in the game for her, have a look for "Evelyn's Light" in the galaxy map. The system matches the description of the story and there are some things to find in the system.

    You can read/listen to the story here, scroll down for links. https://drewwagar.com/elitedangerous/

    Big props to Fdev for this gesture.

    Cheers,

    Drew.

    All those rescue missions were worth it. Call me Duke!

    How do they stay like that?

    Posted: 17 Sep 2020 01:57 PM PDT

    I found this Misty Moon today 1.5kly away from sol. It's completely covered in green mist and I haven't seen anything like it before. Kinda reminds me of the mist around Thargoid Surface Sites. It has lots of Biological and Geological Signals.

    Looks like my hiatus is over. Events are heating up again.

    Elite’s population problem.

    Posted: 17 Sep 2020 09:24 AM PDT

    This is a small thing that bugs me to no end. The population of systems is extremely inconsistent and unrealistic.

    1 Systems with many structures and a tiny population. An example is Canopus. It has a Coriolis Starport and 2 planetary settlements iirc. Maybe 1 planetary. Population? 900.

    2 Systems with a ridiculously high population for one or two places. Can't remember the system names, but two examples are:

    A system I found with an uninhabited rocky landable, a extremely high (1400?) atmospheric pressure planet, a elw being terraformed that was uninhabitable at the time (crazy atmosphere), and a single Coriolis station. Population? 18m.

    A system with a lone outpost orbiting a brown dwarf. No planets. 15,000 population.

    3 The amount of npcs for systems. A system with 15k inhabitants will see npc traffic way too similar to a 15b one.

    4 The places you can find npcs. Drop into a ring ANYWHERE in any system near the bubble And you'll find npcs in a 15km range. Someone should do the math for the amount of miners/pirates required for this to happen realistically. Also, you can find npcs chilling on the surface of planets easily in a inhabited system. Just look for the blue circles that appear on your when below or during glide.

    5 the traffic for stations. The stations see the same traffic in a 22 billion population system as a 450k.

    There's probably more but that's all I'm putting right now.

    Me and my friend Engaged Thargoids for the first time, in all our years this was a first. We were unequipped for this rescue mission.

    Giving away a free copy of Elite Dangerous

    Posted: 17 Sep 2020 01:55 PM PDT

    Hello guys! Like the title says, I'm giving away one copy/key. I got permission from the moderators. And i believe it doesn't break the other rule, since it's a free giveaway. I'm guessing the easiest way is for the first person to respond. Or naming someone who doesn't have the game yet but really wants it. Or maybe making the giveaway through a webpage(resditraffler maybe?). IDK. You guys tell me.

    Edit: VERY IMPORTANT! I'm gonna use Redditraffler to "host" the giveaway. So I'm gonna wait 24 hours. Anyone who wants to get the game, write a comment in this post. And you know guys, if you already own the game, please don't comment 😏 Thanks for your patience! May the odds be ever in your favor! 🤣

    CG Protip: Be sure to trade both ways!

    Posted: 17 Sep 2020 04:21 PM PDT

    For one, it gives you some extra profit, but more importantly, enough trade activity can kick off a Boom State, which dramatically increases the number of commodities available to buy.

    Many nearby stations are already running low on needed commodities, so every little bit helps!
