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

Alec Turner has a great summary of Decembery Stuff happening
1. Buckyball Race – Total Recall 3
2. Another Buckyball Race – Scully Powers 500 – 2
3. Convoy to Colonia – Christmas Carriers Convoy
4. Fix a Station – 2nd Annual Hauliday Haul

Main discussion

If you were to Re-write Elite, what would you change?
1. Cmdr Arithon – Twitter – Signposting. We have “space missions” we have “pinned blueprints”. So why are they not joined? Pinning a blueprint should start to trigger space (and board) missions that go “we hear you are looking for [blueprint ingredient material], so want this mission for it?” etc.
2. Richard Lampitt – Twitter – The inadequate Crime and Punishment system

Awesome Christmas Snowflake from Reddit user DMC_RULEZ (look closely) https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/e49maj/merry_christmas_elite_community/
Operation Ida is holding it’s 2nd Annual HAULiday Haul which commemorates the 2 year of the initial attacks by Thargoids in 3303 & the 2nd Thargoid/Human War as well as our origin as a group. We’ll be fundraising for the cancer Research Institute and holding events during the 4 weeks of the Hauliday Haul including a one day station repair, convoys, races etc. last years Haul was a lot of fun and we were able to get the word out regarding what we do to the community, engage people in various activities and even raised over $1100 as well.
The Christmas Carriers Convoy is having it’s 4th Christmas Convoy with the goal to create comfort for the colonists of Colonia by bringing gifts from the bubble, and some drugs. Actually, mainly drugs. Well, my ship anyway. Actually, my ship is full of nothing other than drugs, the finest onionhead (of both varieties) that money can buy.

We launch on the 1st of December, which has become the tradition, and arrive on the 24th in Centralis. Right now we’ve got about 100 signups on EDSM. Waypoints have been chosen to kind of describe a 4 on the galaxy map, and take in some attractive sights along the way. There’s racing events and SRV-ball (I’m not entirely sure what SRV-ball is, but no doubt some SRVs will be harmed in the process) planned on the way.

It’s organised by the SOTP (Shadow of the Phoenix) in association with the CCN (Colonia Citizens Network). Launch system is Karbon (with a K)

Ghost Giraffe – Star within a Star
1. i.e. HIP 24020 which is within HIP 24019 is a bug in ED
2. BUT is also a REAL LIFE Feature called a Thorne-Żytkow Object https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/416173943519576064/648958706754519051/Thorne-Zytkow_Object.mp3
3. It is when a Red Super Giant essentially swallows a Neutron Star, so that the Neutron Star resides within the Red Super Giant
  1. This is possible because the Red Super Giant is REALLLLY BIG i.e. if we had one in Sol, it would expand out past Jupiter!!! Neutron Stars are tiny (The size of a city) and really rather dense. So the Neutron just ‘plops’ into the Star and doesn’t really give a damn 🙂
4. HIP 108876 may be one in the game, but so much is speculative!

Frontier Close EEE
“I wanted to take this opportunity to give you an update on what is happening with EEE; as you all know, we’ve not been able to provide much support to the EEE system since the start of the year. Originally, our vision for EEE was to have a server set up to bring groups together with Frontier to support your events and activities. After I took over, its original focus shifted slightly.

And toward the start of this year, when I announced that we will not be able to carry on the monthly meetings, I spoke of revamping and redesigning EEE. As a team, we’re taking a wider look at all of projects, and as we manage multiple projects, I want to ensure that anything we run is given the care and attention it deserves.

As this is not something I’m able to promise with EEE at the current time, rather than continue to keep it open, I will be closing EEE.

It’s worth mentioning that supporting our player groups (and Squadrons) is something we obviously still care very strongly about and the community team are available. You can still contact us if you need our support, have an awesome ideas to share or need assistance.

I’d like to also take the opportunity to thank each and every one of you who contributed here, be that in the form of our monthly meetings, discussions with the devs, feedback sharing sessions or when we just had randomly chatted about something.

While EEE will be closed, we’re still contactable, and I implore you to reach out to myself, Paige (PaigeHarveyFDEV#9598) and Stephen (TheBenedetti#0835) whenever you wish!”

Main discussion

Aspiration
1. Do we need something to Aspire to?
2. What things in game can we (do we) aspire to?
3. What other things should we aspire to?
Some people aspire to have 100% “Achievements”. Should these be a thing (for the PC version) What would we like to see? Why do we think they’ve not been added, since they’re already there for PS4 and XB1
1. Multivex [AEDC]: I’d be fine with generic stuff. Kill 10 players, reach beagle point. I’d like some bgs ones but i don’t really see how they would do that since there aren’t any direct links between a player and faction…maybe do X amount of missions or hand in 100 million in bounties
2. I think basic ones almost for a tutorial, i.e.
  1. You took off bling
  2. You landed bling
  3. You got a new <component> bling
  4. You got a new Ship bling
  5. Killed N enemies
  6. Mined N tons
  7. Jumped N LY
3. As well as unique things like
  1. Fly to Beagle Point
  2. Fly to Sag A*
  3. Fly to Hutton
  4. Kill an Elite NPC
  5. Kill a Thargoid
  6. Visit Jameson’s old ship

PSA from CMDR_Remyzero: You can see when and how many Arx you have earned each session from the frontier user portal
Open portal from https://user.frontierstore.net/ and click the “Log in” link (it’s different every time so hot linking is broken)
Log in with your frontier credentials and click the “Your Arx” link https://user.frontierstore.net/arx/list (does not work unless you have logged in first)
Looks like we finally have a new store web front at https://dlc.elitedangerous.com. Nothing official has been announced by Frontier yet, so I’m guessing it’s in a Beta stage. But your ARXs are available there. If you what to know how much things cost, remember £1 gets you between 1672 and 2222 ARX and $1 gets you between 1250 and 1667 dependant on the package you buy. (Thanks to Ben)
The Scourge Stage 4
1. And an issue with the decal (oops!)
2. Opinion?
3. Positives :-
  1. New BGS State – Blight.
  2. New Decal
  3. A coherent Buildup and Plot, including a story from 3 years ago.
4. Negatives :-
  1. Four CGs over three and a half weeks.
  2. No Unique Event Gameplay.
  3. Linear Storyline,
5. Overall I would have given this a C+ / B-. The initial slow build up using Galnet News and the BGS was good. However, there were people who would have supported the Onion Headers, due the Federation’s tactics in the previous storyline, so a competitive community goal might have spiced things up a bit and there was a lack of a dynamic event (like the evacuation of Palin’s Base and defence of his mega ship) which would probably deflected a lot of the criticism.

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

Truckers Rescued from the Devilish Don, despite the loss of Will Flanigan. 😉

Questions

CMDR Ventura_: Hi everyone , had a thought while catching up with the CQC episode of lave Radio… If Fdev put the high ranked players on a scoreboard, would that not entice more ppl to play CQC to beat the top player? Your thoughts?
CMDR Cortex-Vertex answered the community question on CQC. He suggests that CQC should be like a holographic video game (According to Premonition, it already is), which is available from the Station Dock Menu (or it might be a cabinet in the bar when space legs come in). Thanks Andy Spen
Kirk Marshal wants to know why we don’t have Gankers on as Guests. CMDR Spawnsworth. He wasn’t to know why they do it, How they do it, Do they target certain people, if so , why?
CMDR Bolloxim on Discord says: Interesting podcast this week. The announcement that frontier is spending time on bug fixes is likely a smoke filled cloud of misdirection. Usually when running a policy of bug fixes the cadence should be push them live as soon as possible or, if the beta servers are up, continually pushing weekly bug fixes. That they announced a 3-4 month release of bug fixes feels really wrong on this score, especially with an active beta community, if it’s in full swing. Something else that @Shan touched on. There is a new massive release coming in a year. Usual development practices would mean that branch of code should sit off of master. Bug fixes usually on fix branches integrated into master. Releases would be tagged/branched from master. I wonder though if all this activity on master will impact current 2020 development. Or if as some of you guys mentioned that its a new refactored codebase then this would be more pr stunts, that these fixes are bandaids for a year. There is one other alternative. The underlying code has been refactored and updated and it integrated the arx. That September release was more than just arx but foundational changes preparing the way for 2020. However I doubt this is the case, but, considering how much was touched some even not involving arx it’s a possibility.
Loose Screws Podcast claimed to have trucked out all of our Biowaste from Lave. Can we just say, never underestimate the amount of poo we can create. We are the third highest producer of quality waste products in the Galaxy behind whatever is in Cubical 3 at Hutton Orbital and Slough! (Taking cover from the Hammers of Slough now!!)

  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.
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

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

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).
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).
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!!!!!!

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

Open letter from community to Elite Dangerous

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”
