In-Game Events – what’s happened this week?

1. Empire Denies the Secret prison.
2. Mining CG
   1. Engineer’s Enhanced Missile Rack Initiative
      1. Reward: The module is a fully engineered lightweight and high capacity Class 2 Seeker Missile Rack with thermal cascade. It was offered in October 3306 to pilots who helped defend the Eurybia system from Imperial forces.
   2. ANNOUNCEMENT Important Information on the Enhanced Missile Rack Initiative
      1. materials need to be mined in order to count. 
      2. The reward for this week’s goal works differently to how you may expect. Rather than unlocking the item in outfitting, you directly purchase the module with the resources. You can get two by obtaining double the resources.
      3. We’ve seen some confusion in regards to the resources needed for the module. You use the resources listed (Proto radiolic alloy, conductive ceramics, hybrid capacitors, phosphorus and osmium) for the purchase rather than the mined materials (bromellite, lithium hydroxide, and samarium). Apologies for any confusion caused.
3. Jupiter Rochester named as a co-conspirator in the destruction of Starship One.
4. Admiral Vincent found guilty – sentenced to life (?). Jupiter Rochester makes a run for the permit locked HIP 54530
5. Warning about the The Fleet Carrier Scammer Scandal.
   1. The Pilot’s Interview with the ‘Slaver’
   2. Has also been covered by Obsidian Ant, D2EA and MassivelyOP MMO Site

      4. Mission asks you to go to a location in the system where you are assigned tasks
      5. Tasks so far include: 
         1. Defending the capital ship from attack
         2. Collecting Resources 
            1. Search through debris field looking for wrecks
            2. Search through the wreck (on foot) looking for Canisters to load on to your ship
            3. 3 types… one basic, one which is time sensitive, one which is quantum drive sensitive. (i.e. take too long or go faster than light the resource goes boom!)
            4. Potential for combat whilst exploring the wrecks
         3. Fighting off smaller fighters whilst looking for the resources

5. Congratulations must also goto Cmdr Overlight who took 5 seconds off the Hutton Orbital run speed record, which had previously been held by Cmdr Bret Riverboat for over a year.
6. It appears that the company that supplied the Fantastic ED Tracker has gone under. Although you can still buy the device in kit form (https://hobbycomponents.com/234-edtracker), the main website has gone down and there is no support available unless you go via the forums or the amazing Brumster still has software on his website.
