- Sandy talks more on Karma and Seal Clubbing
  - Hopefully, we can get some more detailed discussions going on this, but for now:
    The initial use of a karma system, which tracks and analyses player activities, will be to provide additional in-game consequences for the following actions:
    - Combat logging, where players exit the game ungracefully
    - Ramming at starports
    - Murder crimes where there is a massive disparity between player stats/skill/ship power
  - The consequences would scale over time (as a karma system tracks trends over time rather than spot instances).

  - The response message we get from the UL has been decoded (by Clever people / Magic) to point to a system

Community Corner
- Due to knowledge found in the latest dangerous book (see the most excellent interview) several player groups have decided to attack the Sirius corporation as of 6pm yesterday evening. Controversy as usual because blocking Sirius will block access to one of the most ‘grindy’ engineers in the game.
- Frontier have announced the icarus cup competition. A pvp tournament with the prize of a unique decal and bobble head.
Shoutouts
- Massive thanks to all the Lavecon Volunteers and wonderful attendees, the team could not run the event without the support of the community. There will be a questionnaire sent out to find out if you had a good time and what we can do better next time. The provisional dates for Lavecon 2018 is June 8th – 10th. Lavecon 2017 was Sponsored by ED:RPG and ED Tracker!

In episode one of INCIDENT AT BAIJANGU, Oliver Hulme – Lead Writer for EDRPG – is our Games Master in an adventure that takes us from an Imperial Business office in Leesti to a Mining Outpost in Baijangu. Cmdrs Psykokow, Eid LeWeise, Elias Thane and 2nd Tech Fozza have been hired for a very specific task. What will they find?
