    ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE NEW PILOTS INITIATIVE: Do not board carriers of people you don't know or trust! Some carrier owners have become slavers, kidnapping new players and making them mine for low wages

    Posted: 07 Feb 2021 11:33 AM PST

    New player beware! Some carrier owners have been tricking new players into making a ship with a low jump range to mine for them for little to no payment.

    They are taking them to a remote system far from the bubble. Fleet carriers have a 500ly jump range.

    If you are a veteran player, join our discord discord.gg/NEWP and help us bring down the slavers.

    If you are a new player, do the same and learn the ropes of Elite with experts you can trust.

    To the people trapped. If rescue is not possible you can self destruct your ship and get the starter sidewinder back to the bubble. I know this is the shitty option, but it's better than being stuck in the middle of nowhere. There are people in the discord link above that would love to help with getting your money back and into a better ship.

    Memorial and support for my father

    Posted: 07 Feb 2021 07:21 AM PST

    Cmdr's,

    My father is entering hospice care and I was going to set up my fleet carrier in a system I wanted to use as a memorial. Beta Doradus is where I am going to moor it as one of the things my father was most proud of was my submarine warfare qualification while I was in the navy.

    Beta Doradus is named after the dolphinfish (AKA Mahi-Mahi) which are part of the submarine warfare pin and felt it was suiting for this. As if it wasn't for his hope when things were not going so well and his message of persevering through the sucky parts I would not have qualified in submarines nor would I have done tours on three boats. It is also safe to say that I wouldn't be where I am at now in my career without him suggesting the navy.

    My carrier is called "Hope and Perseverance" and I am working on getting it loaded up with tritum and other things so that it can be in Beta Doradus for a while.

    The system is kind of remote but if anyone happens to pass through or close by please stop by and raise a glass (or a mug) for best wishes as my dad begins the next leg of his journey it would be appreciated.

    Thank you o7

    Deep thoughts...

    I discovered some guardian ruins in a nebula over 12k Light Years away from the bubble. They’re in the same system as the green stellar phenomenon clouds. System: BLAA HYPAI OZ-O D6-16

    Runs on free potato laptop. 720p low gt630m. Lowered the draw distance and I’m able to zip around the ‘roids.

    I left The Bubble for the first time today so I could get Metal Alloys from Maia. The Pleiad, Asterope, greeted me to her Sister’s Nebula with a hand of Plasma.

    Posted: 07 Feb 2021 09:39 AM PST

    Yes! First Interceptor kill! Took me 9 attempts and 3 rebuys, but that was so worth it.

    After 200+ hours, I finally bought Cutter. It looks astonishing. And, in person, it looks much better than on YouTube screen. Sometimes it’s a strange feeling to get what you wanted for so long.

    Posted: 07 Feb 2021 08:32 AM PST

    Uh hahaha

    Dear Frontier Developments

    Please place these lights somewhere else or make them dimmer. My eyes are literally burning and I can't read shit in the chat. Seriously, this does not look good. Why?
