    1. Thanks to Shan, Kurgle and Zorba Dundee for joining me for my segment on Saturday Morning, as well as to Brenner Soriah, MadCat, Icarus Smith and again Zorba for joining us at the end of the Stream! Finally thanks to FD for supporting the event as well as donating two copies of ED:Horizons.
      1. Dave’s who is Traceport26 on Discord and is the RFBAQ Coordinator who chatted on the Elite Aid stream. Told us “It all adds up, trust me. $2625 will buy a dozen UHF Radios to improve a brigade’s communication, maybe a couple of chainsaws, water tank and pump… List goes on. It’ll be well spent.
  4. The Hutton Truckers will be doing a Player-with-Player base assault on FDev’s Thursday stream. Will will be in command. We have been advertising for participants in the Hutton Facebook group.

Feedback

  1. CMDR Bolloxim: Interesting, after last weeks cqc focus podcast, I thought I would try again. Now i’m not saying this was coded but might be an arx bug side effect (coz why not) bit i played on ps4 got two wins. Which, gave me two death match trophies. Of which one was 25 wins.   Good incentive for those ps4 trophy hunters to join cqc. Haven’t tried team deathmatch or cap flag. Mainly coz no one ever joined

Shoutouts

  1. Cmdr Thane Hey guys can I ask a favour? Harry (FragLANd) is doing a special Elite Dangerous LAN on the 15th-17th November at his place near Peterborough. The idea is to get a LAN together and do group/wing co-op stuff for the whole weekend. Limited places as he’s max 16 people, but should be a great weekend if you can give it a shout out on the podcast and direct people to the Fragland Facebook page?

  2. Cmdr_starion Can I get a shoutout at show’s end for Cmdr Saber84, sqdn buddy of mine, who’ll be getting married on 27 October?

Development News – what have the devs said this week?

  1. Patch 2 came in – Solved a few problems, caused a few more;-
    1. Positive.
      1. Changes to the store icon on the Station Menu Screen (less obtrusive and immersion breaking).
      2. Fixed the clipper ship kit issues and lots of other soft locks.
      3. Fixed a lot of Scarlet Kriat, Magenta Krait, Yellow Adder and Black Adder Errors.
    2. Negative
      1. Softlock Error on the Mission Board (Workaround issued)
      2. Setting Module Power Priority (This appears to have gotten worse).
  2. Voices from the Void Stream – Paige takes us through the process of how these scripts are created, inserted into the game and then performed (with a nice bit of improve at the end).
  3. Possible Interstellar Initiative – Fresh Food has disappeared from the Agricultural Markets around the old worlds (Unknown if it’s affecting all Agricultural worlds). Reidquat prices for the new fertiliser is skyrocketing (Soylent Green anyone)? What’s caused the Harvest failure? Is it;-
    1.  some kind of virus that the cmdrs unknowingly have transferred between worlds?
    2. A thargoid attack after we starved them out in the Witch Head’s Nebula?
    3. Some kind of Coordinated attack – For more information on how this could be done See Allen Stroud’s most excellent Lave Revolution Book and Audio Book, just one click away on AMAZON.
    4. TRUMBLES!!!!!!
  4. Frontier Tweeted Happy Monday, Commanders! We’re currently hard at work on Patch 03 for the September Update, which we expect to release for all platforms towards the end of this week! Check back later this week for the Patch Notes, confirmed date and estimated downtime.

  • Elite AID “Bushfire”

    East India Company are proud to present Elite Aid. This is to be a 24 hour long event starting at 23:00 UTC on 10/18/2019. During the event we will host a continuous live stream staffed by members from a variety of gaming groups. All proceeds will be donated to support the ongoing efforts in the Queensland bushfire emergencies.

    https://www.twitch.tv/elite_aid

    Lave Radio has a slot from 08:00 – 10:00 UTC

    Cmdr Icarus Smith who’s been on the show’s house was yards from being destroyed “my closest 5 neighbours are piles of ash”



    https://www.mycause.com.au/page/214954/elite-aid-bushfire
    Please note this is NOT JustGiving because myCause is a top crowd-funding site in Aus and the only one which has a direct donation link to the Queensland Volunteer Rural Fire Brigades Donation Fund.

    The Rural Fire Service (RFS) is the volunteer arm of the QFES operating in rural, semi-rural and urban fringe areas where there is no urban fire service coverage. The RFS consists of approximately 35,000 volunteers from approximately 1,500 rural fire brigades across the state.
  • In Related news: Cmdr Gosht who’s been on the show and is a core member of HIVE lost his house, his dog, Titus, and just about everything in an unexpected (but unrelated to the bushfires), house fire.

    To help give him a slight smile, the Anti Xeno community  will be meeting up at SYNUEFE KU-F B44-4 to collect some Ancient keys from the Guardian Beacon on Friday the 11th, at 21:00 UTC. An Hour later the fleet will head toward HIP 14909 Planet 2 A  and use the Ancient Keys to spell out a message for Cmdr Gosht 
  • Frontier are about to start a new series of “Full Throttle” livestreams dedicated to RACING!

    To kick things off, this Thursday Alec Turner will be on the show with Will and Stephen to chat a bit about the Buckyball Racing club and to guide them around our new race “Full Throttle at Pareco”.

    1. CMDR_Reaper from the Children of Raxla writes: “I’d advise against signing this petition until it’s moved to another petition hosting site that’s less obscure, and onto a more well-known platform such as “change.org” and ask yourselves why it’s being hosted on a more obscure site like iPetitions…”
    2. TLDR: iPetions asks for your  name, email address and stores your ip address.. SDC are asking for your Cmdr Name. “The information you provide and your IP address are stored on our servers but canalso be accessed by the petition host”
