Something eerie going on in #EliteDangerous but what does it all mean??

A slight hiccough with Powerplay after today's #EliteDangerous update gave me a momentary (fake) buzz of massive achievement...

This Orbis station is going to have a great view once it gets finished.... #EliteDangerous

Don't know who saw this a few weeks ago, but @frontierdev.bsky.social support have been absolutely fantastic and sorted it all out! My big old port of New Lampeter is back to its big old refinery status. Big thanks #EliteDangerous team 😁

These #EliteDangerous squadron carriers are *big*! Just started a new squadron: Sentinels of Meropis! Supporting the Sisters of Meropis - mainly BGS and colonisation if anyone's looking for a home 😁 Was with the original Sisters of Meropis squadron but they are scattered across the galaxy a bit so

This is why you head out into the black. Don't get to see Barnard's Loop like this from the bubble.... #EliteDangerous

Hi #EliteDangerous community and @frontierdev.bsky.social This is weirdness, right? A tier 3 port with strong links leading to a nice (functional) refinery market, which suddenly becomes nothing but extraction, even while the UI still lists the links?! Plus the system population dropped by 8m!?

New Lampeter is up and running, and the college will be accepting applications as of next Thursday. All a little out of the way in Synuefe RO-I c25-5, but that would be about right - IYKYK! #EliteDangerous

Not sure we're supposed to be solo-ing tier 3 planetary ports, even with the PC2, but slowly getting there with a bit of glide skipping and a very handy port less than 4Mm away (and also spectacular in permanent twilight!) Synuefe RO-I c25-5 A 2 if anyone wants to join in 😁

Well, I finally decided to join the Pink Panther Club with a slightly more hands-on take on the infamous old Type-10 AFK build... #EliteDangerous #PantherClipper

When the specs first came out I was a bit disappointed with the cargo max, but actually shifting almost 2.5k tons in just two trips is pretty fantastic. Add to that the amazing bridge and smooth handling, and I am thoroughly convinced! (Paint job pending...) #EliteDangerous #PantherClipper

So...question for the #EliteDangerous folks out there: What do I do with these new "Grom Bomb" seeker missiles? Do I swap out a pack-hound on my multi-role Corsair? Build a whole new Powerplay hunter for those enemies who insist on running? Or something else entirely? TIA 😁

For #EliteDangerous #EliteDangerousOdyssey folks out there, there are not one, but two Maverick suits with Night Vision built in at Gentil Point in Synuefe HI-R b50-1 It is a lonely military outpost in the middle of nowhere, but if anyone in need is passing...

Welcome to the Noob Hammer...

Just colonising a new system in #EliteDangerous and *so* glad they added the "required for mission" info at commodity markets - very handy! 😁

Yeah, it has a certain charm, I guess 😏 #EliteDangerous #GutamayaCorsair #TeamNoBeak

A curse on my sh!tty rural internet connection! I'll be able to get the Corsair for credits by the time this is done 🙄 #EliteDangerous

Serenity Valley is now fully operational and open for business in ICZ RY-R b4-5 if anyone fancies a visit #EliteDangerous

Colonisation "Effort"?! That's no effort, that's a Space Station! It was also no small task, and I wavered big time at about 50% - big thanks to @cjkarr.bsky.social for material help and the boost to keep going!! #EliteDangerous

Still building the humongous Orbis station in #EliteDangerous Had targeted 60% by the end of the weekend, but with help and inspiration from @cjkarr.bsky.social have managed to hit 75% Just lots of Aluminium and Titanium (and a few other bits and pieces) to go....

Still hauling for #EliteDangerous colonisation, but using a shieldless Cutter now. Up to 25% on my Orbis station in ICZ RY-R b4-5 but always grateful if anyone wants to chip in! Also buying Steel at over 1000% markup outside Jael Orbital in Miquit. Just go to Zakalwe's Rest for Big Profits™️😁

So I'm currently buying metals in Miquit (Jael Orbital) if any #EliteDangerous folks want to make a quick buck and help a poor coloniser build an Orbis station. FC is [SISM] Zakalwe's Rest (V6Y-NQT)

I'm almost ready to start building an Orbis station, but need some suggestions from the fabulous #EliteDangerous community on where to place it! Really close to the star? Near that lovely little atmospheric planet/moon?? I'm just not sure 🤔

I present.... Architect's Notepad! A web tool to help you with colonisation! colony.niceygy.net #EliteDangerous

How to focus the mind in #EliteDangerous - schedule a fleet carrier jump before you've finished hauling, expecting it to be over an hour's wait, only to get 23 minutes instead...!

Cranmer Sanctuary will officially be open for business in a couple of days, so just adding a bit of infrastructure to the system now - and mighty glad construction sites have large pads, even when the final product will only be medium! #EliteDangerous #SystemColonisation

#EliteDangerous Just those darn CMM Composites to go now - a mere 7,074 of them needed And yes, that's in ICZ RY-R b4-5, in case anyone's curious 😉

#EliteDangerous servers down, and then I get this when going back in? 🤔

So yeah, if anyone in the #EliteDangerous community wants to help me move in, the new address is (hopefully!) ICZ RY-R b4-5 Any contributions gratefully received and suitably compensated 😁

Dwelling on the recent snow because it's more heart-warming than dealing with politics right now....

Couple of shots of a visiting Red Kite - not as sharp as I'd like, and coming out noisier on BSky for some reason, but a fine bird anyway....

Happy New Year BSky! Fly safe and fly happy in 2025!

Finally my free Anaconda...kind of 😏

It's the final countdown...probably.... #EliteDangerous #Thargoids

Massive away win for the little fella.

When notoriety is too high after a bit of gentle undermining.... #EliteDangerous #EliteDangerousOdyssey

Fantastic ship, and finally got the set of 5 #EliteDangerous Went back to the bubble for a bit of PP, but the way it is right now I might turn around and head straight back out again....

The first time I've even heard of Fumerola (Nitris in this case), never mind finding it! #EliteDangerous #EliteDangerousOdyssey

Please consider reading and signing this petition.

Great for getting into those hard to reach places, when the completist in you really wants to scan that Fungoida Setisis #EliteDangerous #EliteDangerousOdyssey

This was where I went in the 90s. It has such history and is being treated very badly right now! 😓

My experience with #EliteDangerous right now seems to involve a lot of this...

Love the subtle, understated branding at stronghold stations #EliteDangerous #EliteDangerousOdyssey #Powerplay2.0 #AislingDuval

I think it's a lovely renovation, although the authorities weren't as keen... #EliteDangerous #Powerplay2 #AislingDuval
