Three stations requiring evacuation and six still requiring repair (9 out of 20 AEGIS Stations out of action). Are the thargoids going to advance towards the bubble?

Round 1 Smuggling Gilya Signature Weapons from Bell Orbital in Gilya to Gohar Station in Jaradharre which is 525K LS from the main star (About 25 mins flight time)
EG Pilots pulled an all nighter with the system in Boom (thereby giving them a higher than usual allowance of rares) allowing them to pip Galcop at the post to the #1 spot.
Message from Bomba Luigi who is the trapped Cmdr “Shoutout of course to everybody from the Thunderbirds Rescue Team, it was those guys who somehow mangaed to get me out of the Canyon despite the fact that it was pretty much impossible! I would have been doomed to die on my own. The Plan now is to write a big SOS Message on the Planet, to do so we climbed the big Wall to make the message as high up as possible on the Planet so its easier to see! Once I have a Pic of the SOS I finaly contact support to see what they can do.”Screenshots

Store relationship values on mission avatars so they don’t change into their cool pirate jackets anymore
Players can now spend favours (reputation levels) to control experimental effects on blueprints
When determining the rank of NPC ships for interdiction, use the player’s combat rank, rather than their highest PF rank, although add 1 rank if their trade or exploration rank is higher than their combat rank
alter the changes in allowed interdiction ranks based on security, so that the biggest rank disparities are reserved for very low security and anarchy systems
Reduced the percentage interdiction chance of power play ships by 10%, and altered the ship type chances and combat ranks to be more mid range, dropping a lot of the top range down
Adjust tracking rates for turreted weapons. Large+ are unchanged, medium are slightly faster, small are a lot faster
Improvements to turret tracking: When evaluating confusion the turret will now take into account the apparently linear acceleration of the target actually caused by angular acceleration of the firing vehicle. Overall this should make turrets confused less of the time, and emphasises the skill element a bit more – the better you match your target’s acceleration to keep them stationary in view, the better your turrets will track
All shields now regenerate at double rate when in supercruise
First UA found planetside…
Not actually the 1st found, but still… “This crash site was found as a result of a mission tip-off. According to a Cannon source, this is the first reported UA sighting planet-side. The mission’s goal was to scan the wreckage, and when scanned, a data packet with what looks like a log entry was uncovered. The contents spoke of the survivors of the crash dying slowly, while one crew member “didn’t have to watch” it. I assume this means a crew member died during the incident. A POI nearby had 12 escape pods, organized into six groups of two, with each group’s pods stacked perfectly on top of each other. May be a bug, took screenshots for tin-foil.”
Winning the Space Race: The Future of Elite Dangerous “they have to choose one, and stop treading water in the middle, or games like Star Citizen and No Man’s Sky will turn Elite into an amusement park in Chernobyl: desolate, sad, and abandoned.

Vingtetun: @everyone Ladies and gentlemen, the Hutton Truckers are delighted to announce that after 5 months of battling the BGS, of blocking states and bugs and uneccesary wars we are the proud owners of a space station with a large pad. With CB gaining 8 percent a day it has taken a superhuman effort to keep them down. Some of those superhumans are Paladins. You have our thanks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yS-rbMo9Qds Some audio we can maybe play?
HCS Voicepacks and Hutton Truckers are hopeful to bring a passenger pack for your voice attack (ask Grant)
James Beaumont on Facebook This folks, is our known Galaxy. Every white dot is a system that has been found. The purple dot at the bottom is Sol, Sag A* in the middle. The yellow dot to the left is my current position, 15000Ly from Sol. That same dot on the seond picture, taken from the horizontal centre shows the height/depth of the ‘known’ systems. My dot is a mere 900Ly above the horizontal. So for all those that say there is nothing to do in ED, I’d say there is plenty to be done! Generated using EDDiscovery
Colin will be doing the usual X-Box Horizons Stream on a friday at 11:00 pm.
Questions
Snuffler: with the recent recanting of Elite lore, does this mean the Krait Never existed?
Steph: The Betel Free, based at Amphipolis in the Betel system, have largely been a “one commander band”. Recently it looks as though there may be new recruits to the cause. If you are one such CMDR, please can you get in touch with CMDR Xena via the Lave Radio Discord Channel because the faction may become “player run” and it would be good to include everyone who has an interest.

Soontill relics apparently provide this picture. and it matches to the Soontill system (might be a hoax) Though how any space faring civ could develop here is beyond me. 18 LS from the sun, means this High metal content worlds with silicate vapors is tidally locked. Not really a good place to develop live.
12.6 Earth masses 12170 km radius (twice that of earth) 3.4 G (Would explain their massive strength) 8256 K temp Silicate vapor geysers producing same atmo. 98.5% Silicates, 1.5% Iron Orbit 2.1 days tidally locked. NOT a vacation spot.

Get specific mods by ‘Calling in Favours’ with Engineers – Quote from Sandy
“Hello Commanders!
For the clarity!
When you call in a favour – YOU GUARANTEE THE EXPERIMENTAL EFFECT YOU WANT *and* YOU GUARANTEE THAT THIS EFFECT IS GENERATED FOR THE UPGRADE . Nothing in this procedure is random .
This is regardless of what the crafting process initially resulted in.
For example, if you did not get an experimental effect – calling in a favour gives you the one you want.
On the other hand, if you generated an experimental effect that you did not want – calling in a favour gives you the one you want.
Also, this option is available AFTER you have generated an upgrade, so you can decide whether you want to call in a favour after you have seen what the primary and side effect results were.”

Rise To Power: Dangerous Games, WILDCARD CORRECTION
From ZAC
Basically EG pilots aren’t through to the final. The top 5 from the votes will have a mini CG tournament and the winner will go through to the final.
Beta 2.1 updates continue and McColin Ford leads a McScottish episode with McPsykokow and McDave McHughes for chat about beta and the RPG Elite Encounters…
For piracy flag targets, if the target is not a mission target, check if it has a leader and whether that leader is a mission target
Add a faction government test so the pesky democracies don’t make my greedy corporation shout “For Democracy!”
Fix the method that determines whether we can see planetary missions
Added popup explaining where pinned recipes can be found
Recipes should now be referred to as blueprints
Stop hitmen being sent after the player for no reason
Rebalance the tutorials to be reasonable with the new AI
Adjusted the shield-down flee behaviour to be less frustrating
Everybody docked at Jaques Station has retreated to a safer distance
– Fixed issues with recalled ships boosting when trying to land
Everybody docked at Jaques Station has retreated to a safer distance
– Feedback tweaks to torpedos:
– Torpedos now have a 2.5 second arming time rather than their previous 0.5 second. When hitting a target before arming they will deal no damage and self destruct in a small puff
– Torpedos now inherit the speed of their launching ship for the first few seconds of flight, before dropping to a 250m/s cruising speed. These two changes give them an effective minimum range of about 700m+ depending on ship speeds, and also means that you won’t be running into the back of your own torpedos!
Halve firing heat from missiles
Could this mean stealth missile boats?
– Added ship voice notification when a mission specific USS has spawned
“From the desk of lead designer Sandro Sammarco”: is very interesting
