    Help give the Marlinists the resources they need to build new colonies or fight to keep them safe in this week's Community Goal

    Community Goals

    Sirius Corporation has offered to resolve the current standoff between superpowers by establishing colonies where the refugees can live independently.

    Li Yong-Rui, CEO of Sirius Corporation, summarised his proposal: "It is clear that the Marlinists cannot return to the Empire, and are a destabilising presence within the Federation. We offer an alternative by constructing permanent habitats for their population. These will be self-governed and may freely trade with the galactic community."

    "Sirius cannot stand by while the risk of interstellar war increases. I sincerely hope this leads to a more stable and profitable period for us all."

    After intense debate, both Congress and the Senate accepted the proposal, with the proviso that any refugees identified as NMLA members will be returned to the Empire.

    Dr Jenna Fairfax, a Marlinist community leader, also offered her approval: "We were forced to abandon our entire lives because of our political beliefs. This at least gives us a chance to have homes again."

    PROTECT THE SIRIUS CORPORATION CAMPAIGN TO ESTABLISH MARLINIST COLONIES

    Sirius Corporation has requested the support of independent pilots to counter any piracy or other acts that may interfere with the supply of commodities, and will handsomely reward such efforts. Hand in your bounties to the Omega Merchant Command at Ellis Gateway in the Bd+05 1146 system.

    The initiative begins on the 10th of December 3306 and will run for one week. If the final target is met, the campaign will end immediately.

    • System = BD+05 1146
    • Station = Ellis Gateway
    • Objective = Bounties
    • Commodity List = Bounties
    • Current / Target = 0 / 160000000000
    • Expires = in 7 days

    DELIVER GOODS TO SUPPORT SIRIUS CORPORATION CAMPAIGN TO ESTABLISH MARLINIST COLONIES

    Commodities are requested to create new settlements for Marlinist refugees who fled from the Empire to the Federation. Traders are asked to deliver Atmospheric Processors, Auto-Fabricators, Structural Regulators and Water Purifiers to Ellis Gateway in the Bd+05 1146 system. From there, the Omega Merchant Command will distribute resources for the colonisation of up to ten uninhabited systems which will be ready in early 3307. Each completed tier will provide the resources to populate two systems, listed in order of priority:

    • HIP 22550 and Hyades Sector RO-P b6-6.
    • LP 659-31 and Hyades Sector LX-T c3-30.
    • Hyades Sector SU-C a14-1 and Hyades Sector RO-P b6-2.
    • Hyades Sector VP-N b7-4 and Hyades Sector AB-M b8-2.
    • Hyades Sector YA-M b8-1 and Hyades Sector TJ-P b6-6.

    The initiative begins on the 10th of December 3306 and will run for one week. If the final target is met earlier than planned, the campaign will end immediately.

    • System = BD+05 1146
    • Station = Ellis Gateway
    • Objective = Water Purifiers, Auto-Fabricators, Atmospheric Processors, Structural Regulators
    • Commodity List = Water Purifiers, Auto-Fabricators, Atmospheric Processors, Structural Regulators
    • Current / Target = 248 / 40000000
    • Expires = in 7 days

    Worst Insurance Company In The Universe

    Posted: 10 Dec 2020 02:42 PM PST

    Let's take a moment to appreciate the worst (best) insurance company to have ever existed.

    "Hi, I need insurance, I've never signed up or paid any regular insurance but..."

    "That's no problem, we charge 15% of the value of your ship"

    "ok good because I wasn't paying attention to the gravity and was flying shieldless and destroyed my 100m ship because I got distracted by my cat and crashed into a mountain,100% my fault"

    "no problem, here's your new sh....."

    "KTHXBYE!!!!!!!!!!!"

    Strange Code

    Posted: 10 Dec 2020 08:24 AM PST

    Heyy !

    Today, I was exploring the Galaxy, searching things like Q-type Anomaly (because I find it cool). I found one inside the system PRU AESCS AK-W B29-10 and I also found a Unregistered comms beacon. I waited the signal, and it gave me an crypted message un ICAO spelling language.

    The code is : PYJEPQYUWLUDCQCKJXUEOKJDJPQYP6UNL002NEDDYLKCJQE3EOKJSERWLNREUPOPJOIP7192JKPUPQEJPXY

    I tried to find out what it is, but I wasn't abled to understand it, and that's why I'm here ! I need some help to find what it means, so if you have any informations, or if you can understand it, please tell me. Thanks you all in advance.

    I never realized it but these are a complete rip off. It's the 3300's and we can't even get a thermal cup with a lid? Some kind of built in heating? Meta-alloy cups? Anything is better than ceramic!

    i dream of elite Gun Harmonisation.

    Posted: 10 Dec 2020 05:45 AM PST

    i dream of elite Gun Harmonisation.

    Lately i was wondering about how in Elite we all love to talk about gun convergence and how some ships are much worse with fixed mount weapons because of the convergence point.

    This struck me as odd because this issue shouldnt be an issue in 3306, the problem of guns not converging was extremely apperant in (most notably) the second world war where wing mounted machineguns in aircraft would not shoot at a single point in front of the plane. they fixed this issue by making the guns converge at a fixed point, this is called Gun Harmonisation. (see picture below)

    Gun Harmonisation on a Hawker Hurricane

    I would love to see this feature to be added in Elite Dangerous, as this would change the combat meta as it exists now so you can choose to use a hulltank with a convergence point set at for example 600m to great effect at dealing massive burst damage when you get on target.

    use of Gun Harmonisation on a P-47 thunderbolt

    Now would this be overpowerd? Perhaps but while this would make ships with bad convergence viable it would reclassefy ships with good convergence as snipers because the engagement distance isnt only usefull at your convergence distance.

    How would i like to see this implemented?:

    personally i would like to see it that you can change the convergence per weapon at a station NOT IN FLIGHT, so that the weapons would still feel fixed and gimballed weapons wouldn't become obsolete.

    How i see it there are pro's and cons to this theoretical system

    Pro's:

    • being able to set an optimal engagement distance further adding depth to battles
    • adding more ships to the combat meta
    • increased depth in combat

    cons:

    • large ships may become too powerfull
    • possible obsolecence older ships (even though i doubt this wil happen)

    I would love to hear your opinions about this CMDR's.
