THE GIN I AM SCREEEEAMING AT THIS THREAD 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hey Paul - so sorry to hear of your situation. Commanders like yourselves who've been here from the very start have our biggest admiration and respect here at Frontier. I'm sure the amazing community will be all too keen to help you out - but you're welcome to add my personal account too, I'm CMDR Zacerhy.

Greetings Commanders!

I'm back to share the best creations of the week from the Elite galaxy! Thanks to Sally for doing a grand job in finding your amazing work last week, but I reckon we've got just as good a selection today! Let's begin:

Elite Ship Dioramas By Phoebia



As featured in our latest Supercruise News show, these dioramas by Phoebia are a true work of art! I can't begin to explain the process in making these, but I do know they all originate from actual in-game screenshots.

Imperial Eagle In Minecraft By GrandBee



It's always fun ... Read more

We're sorry to bring this sad news to you today but due to the current COVID crisis and government updates on the steady spread of the Omicron variant (with cases discovered in Cambridge), we have made the decision to postpone our Festive Community Meet Up, planned originally for December 10th 2021.


All Commanders who have purchased tickets will be entitled to a full refund of their ticket purchases if they wish, or tickets can naturally be carried over to the new planned date, confirmed for February 25th 2022.

Is you name sallymorganmoore? No its not, are you an employee of fdev? No your not, can you answer this question with accuracy? No you cannot, Can you ask the dev team for the answer to this question? No you cannot!

The thing is...they answered you perfectly.

Greetings Commanders,

As we approach the end of the year, I thought I would do something different. Instead of the usual Development Update, I would like to show more than tell; specifically around Fleet Carriers! We will have a full Development Update in January 2022, and lay out our plans for communicating with you through updates, streams and social channels.

Update 9

Update 9 is planned for release next week, with full patch notes published on the same day. Once we have a confirmed date and time we will of course let you know! Here are the highlights of what Update 9 will bring:
[LIST]
[*]New Twin-Seat Combat Multicrew SRV
[*]Mission extensions
[*]Multi Limpet Controller
[/LIST]
This update will also include a plethora of fixes and tweaks, including (but not limited to) the following:
[LIST]
[*]Issues relating to inactive AI at conflict zones will now be resolved.
[*]Issues relating to hatc... Read more

Hello!
Just letting you know the 'Server Alarm' is heard o7

Frontier (specifically, Sally) has come out and publicly stated that they are focusing on people who currently like Odyssey and rather than those who do not

If you're singling me out there I'm going to feel the need to step in so -
If I have ever said that exact and specific line you're using there amidst all of the many past responses I've given regarding feedback, addressing key issues as part of updates (even those reported in Horizons), understanding player frustrations and giving as much insight as I'm able to into the continued plan for Elite Dangerous then...

Or maybe that's your take on us saying "we need to focus on the quality of Odyssey first before -"?

[USER=188830]@sallymorganmoore[/USER]
I have had at least 6 crashes today while trying to mine tritrium, so i am getting maybe 20 or 30 units before I die and hve to skup back to my carrier to unload (either that or try to avoid the pirates).
I am curently in the Aries Dark Region IM-V c2-5 system - Planet 15 in the B Ring.

I don't know if anyone else is seeing those regular crashes to desktop.

I have submitted a crash report for each one under the commander name Flury - I am happy to provide any other debug information that might be usefull.

If I had an award for concise crash reporting, this would...be it!
Firstly, sorry it's happening this regularly. With all this juicy reporting though I'm sure we can get stuck in with figuring out what's going on. Thank you!!

Greetings Commanders, another new week begins.
These things really are whizzing by us right now!

Here's hoping you had a good weekend just passed and equally, here's to a strong week of Elite Dangerous shenanigans ahead of us all out there in the Galaxy!

Just to let you know that Zac and Bruce are out this week, so it's just myself, Paul and Arthur in a wing on this side of the curtain.
