1. Play Elite on a PS Vita
   1. Cmdr Arkaboop on Reddit shows us how to play Elite using Remote Play on a PS Vita using a Mobile Hotspot (because the local WiFi is rubbish) as well as adding a case that adds the L2/R2 and L3/R3 triggers so as not to lose any functionality.
      1. Maybe we can segway into “mobile ways to play elite”
   2. FANGS is back, with “MERCS” — a single-chapter palate cleanser that shows the seedier side of the galaxy

      2. Note from Cmdr Garrus
         
         This took a little longer than I was anticipating (I should just go ahead and trademark that phrase, lol), but David (/u/RahnKavall) and I are pleased to present the next chapter of FANGS: a short single-chapter interlude called MERCS.
         
         (What’s Fangs, you ask? Fangs is a noir-themed web comic set in the Elite: Dangerous universe!)
         
         MERCS is an original story written and illustrated by David, using the characters from his own E:D web comic MERCENARY COMMANDER (now sadly offline, or I’d link to it Ah, we’ve still got the images!). After getting all super-duper emotional with FANGS book 2, I wanted to do something a little less serious to change things up a bit and get the tone a little lighter—and Rahn & Moose here certainly fit the bill 😀
         
         David & I are now heads-down working on FANGS book 3, which will be titled “To Sail Forbidden Seas” and which will be about a commander who gets marooned in Witchspace during a mis-jump and comes face to face with the things that lurk in the between:
         
         Test panel, temp VFX, subject to change
         
         We’ve been refining our art process and now have a Maya-driven workflow (which lets us do interior shots like this!), and we’re excited about the art possibilities!
         
         You guys are an amazing community and David & I are grateful for your continued support. Thanks for reading FANGS—it makes me really happy to see folks enjoying something we worked so hard on 🙂
   3. Drew has released Michael’s Story as an ebook
      1. Dear Elite Dangerous Community.
         
         You will likely recall the story of CMDR Michael Holyland, who sadly passed way in May this year at the age of 15.
         
         A personalised audiobook was created for him by the combined efforts of Frontier, Voice Actors and the Community.
         
         It was Michael’s wish that the audiobook be made available to the community so they could also enjoy it. We have taken the additional step of publishing it in ebook formats too. The book can be freely downloaded from the link below.
         
         We are suggesting donations to Cancer Research UK in memory of Michael.
