Mostly Clueless

1. From Domzila2112 – To collect stuff in your srv it must be targeted.

Competition!

Elite Dangerous were kind enough to to give us some Azimuth Ruthless skins, we gave away the FDL skin last night to a commander who shot @bwoodward (other people just shot me for fun!) However we still have an Eagle and a Krait Mk II skin (wot no Chieftain Arf?)

You can win these by sending something creative about Tuesday’s events to info@laveradio.com, be it a Drabble, a limerick, a pun, etc

For example Commander Terekhov from the FuelRats submitted this…

There was an old man called Salvation,
Who hated the whole Thargoid nation,
His weapon backfired,
And Thargoids were ire’d,
That silly old man called Salvation
