In-Game Events – what’s happened this week?
- Operation IDA – They have returned to the prettiest station in the bubble. Titan’s Daughter in Taygeta is their current target (for the third time).
- AXI – Although there are no new incursions or infestations, there are still plenty of thargoids available in the Pleiades and the Witch-Head Nebula. CMDR Avasa Siuu has some excellent AXI Debrief Videos which have shown the Anti – Xeno Initiatives effort is curbing the Alien Menace, so look him up on You Tube.

Okay so a few weeks back you were talking about how Elite might deal with commander death after the advent of space legs and I had a thought; what would you feel about there being a real-time delay between death and restart / resurrection / revival?
It wouldn’t have to be a long duration, any time penalty would be a real incentive to avoid death and, given that a monetary penalty is no real penalty, not being able to play for say 15 minutes would be HORRIBLE.
Anyway, just thought I’d share the idea in case you wanted something to discuss on a future episode.
Keep up the good work… love the show etc.
