  • Lavecon 2019 is 4th – 7th July at the Sedgebrook Hall Hotel, and is sponsored by Spidermind Games!
  • Elite Community Meet (Renaissance Hotel in Manchester, 20th April) has sold 140 tickets however there’s still some tickets available. Also – they’re hunting for a couple more PC’s and possibly one more projector/screen for the main room if anyone has such things they can bring with them!  Retro area has everything EXCEPT a BBC Micro. https://elitemeet.info/
  • EDCommodity is a FREERRE app for the IPhone and IPad that extracts the best prices for a number of best selling commodities. It also shows the list of top systems and stations selling that commodity! Data is taken from eddb to populate the app.

    The app was made by CMDR Zaphonicus Taurog just for fun because he had recently been made redundant and decided to learn to programme in swift , “Because he can”. He’s also looking to learn to code in Android as well, so watch out !

    Whilst it’s not perfect , he will be working with feedback , which can be sent with the app, to add future functionality and to improve the UI and UX.

    He’s working on how to make the data be relevant to your local position and shows systems near you selling at best prices.  Looks like he’ll have to use EDSM data for that …

    • An update on WP8..  some players have expressed concern that if they don’t make the jump to Goliath’s Rest, they will not be able to have their WP8 visit recognized on EDSM.  Please note that visiting Hypiae Phyloi LR-C D22 (the alternative stopover point that lies 300 LYs below Goliath’s Rest), will qualify as you visiting WP8 on EDSM.

      For the half dozen or so CMDRs who have already reached Goliath’s Rest and are logging your progress on EDSM, please make sure you visit Hypiae Phyloi LR-C D22 at some point before leaving for WP9 next weekend .

Distant Worlds 2

  • Newsletter 4
  • Departure from Polo Harbour marks the end of Stage 1.

    Stage 2: Building the Galactic Core Starport and discovering secrets at the heart of the galaxy.
    Stage 2 will offer new challenges as we begin to leave the last human outposts far behind, in addition some of the optional points of interest along the Stage 2 route may be in locations requiring large jump ranges, and/or the use of neutron boosts if you want to visit them!

    The main goal of this stage though will be to complete the 2nd phase of the community goal at the very heart of the galaxy when we arrive at WP7 in a couple of weeks time. After which the fleet will continue to explore the core, and gradually make its way out toward the far side.

    Fleet attrition will most likely begin to bite during this stage, as was the case with DW1, many commanders see Sagittarius A as an adequate goal in which to call it a day – and this is perfectly fine – DW2 will be no different!

Main Discussion

  • Mission Pack Speculation

Community Corner

  • Sagittarius Eye Issue 18
  • Anti-Xeno Initiative – the thargoids have upped the stakes at the moment. We have 5 systems in Incursion and 5 systems with an infestations. Defenders are stretched to the limit, with the AXI only able to defend one system last week.
  • Operation IDA – congratulations for completing Cleaver Prospect. They have now targeted the noob hammer Station of Cavalieri in the Electra system. (for the second time)
  • Battlecards News. Nothing has happened as far as the opposing party. However, the good news is that there has been movement on the Kickstarter Front, who are looking seriously at this matter now. Hopefully Good News  Soon(™)

  • Operation IDA – They are still working on Cleaver Prospect with Indium 43% ,
    Titanium 22%, Aluminium 58%, Polymers 52% and Energy Grid Assembly 94%. There still seems to be a bug where only 4 out of 5 tonnes are counted against the total. Frontier says they’re investigating.

  • To Help Celebrate Frontier’s 25th Birthday on the 28th Cmdr Arithon has released his 3305 blueprints, which contains corrections to data and the hard point / utility numbers.

    • SRV achieves orbital velocity (646m/s@13.8km) at “Quantum World” (Flyiedgiae QN-T d3-17 AB 1 b) aka the smallest stellar body we’ve found in the galaxy
    • SRV Drifts at ~ 700 m/s away and other ships can’t catch up
    • Eventually (0.21ls – approx 62, 956 km) a Cutter drops infront of it and boops it back towards the moon
