ANNOUNCEMENT!

After much debate and discussion will be extending our mission to a 11th year or 4,015 days in the black!

While our flight plan will not change this year as we will hopefully get back on track with the below flight plan!

Thank you all for your support!

@alecturner Are you saying I have no faith in this ship? 😉

[Colin Ford @PhoenixDfire]

While we're waiting for @EliteDangerous to update, here's my first attempts at passenger missions using the soon to be released Lynx High liner. https://t.co/1JcP9LF9Wv

@CaptnBeard @koopyrose Nappies at the ready?

[Colin Ford @PhoenixDfire]

@campbellclaret @EricTrump Mr Campbell; I agree with you on most things but that is horrendous and unfair to twats everywhere!

[Colin Ford @PhoenixDfire]

@FrontierAstro Something to add to this week's Lave Radio then.

[Colin Ford @PhoenixDfire]

@cmdrexorcist I know your pain. My second x56 broke after nine months, so I upgraded to the thrustmaster Sol R-4. So much better, but it took ages for the muscle memory to kick in (still hasn't to be honest).

[Colin Ford @PhoenixDfire]

So we have the official @LaveRadio Sidewinder from @EliteDangerous mounted and on display.

Lave Radio the #EliteDangerous podcast Episode #573!: "Tharg Man and the Zomboids" is now available for download!!! https://t.co/X4xxatXYjz The crew talk about what is going on with “Big Bill” and make their predictions, around some topical tangents.

[Colin Ford @PhoenixDfire]

Hey @TNLUK, just trying to get a lucky dip for tonight's euro lottery but both the app and the website don't seem to be working. There's less than 30 mins left, will it fixed before then?

[Colin Ford @PhoenixDfire]

@RicardosGaming @TeamYouTube Nightmare. Good luck.

[Colin Ford @PhoenixDfire]

@DavidBraben RIP, such an iconic image. I always wondered what that brown ship in front of the cobra was. Can't recognise it so I guess artistic licence?

[Colin Ford @PhoenixDfire]

@FrontierAstro The developers of the 16bit versions said they didn't have access to the source code from the original. They got the ship shapes and the proc gen code for the planets, but everything else was written blind.

[Colin Ford @PhoenixDfire]

@FrontierAstro @RealEDCommunity I have to agree, maybe the flight model felt squishy compared to the original, the fact that you got too many pirates in safe systems to begin with. But maybe I'd played so much elite on other versions I felt burnt out. Still it wasn't long till Frontier. 😁

[Colin Ford @PhoenixDfire]

@bushontheradio Loved the original, it's first two sequels loved the galaxy but they used Newtonian physics when flying, which wasn't fun. The latest one I'm addicted to because it took everything that I loved from all its previous versions and let's me fly around in VR.

Lave Radio the #EliteDangerous podcast Episode #571!: "Ian Malcolm’s Chest Hair" is now available for download!!! https://t.co/dw2EZbFkPn In a very speculative show, the crew discuss bobbleheads and the potential for Mk II modules.

[Colin Ford @PhoenixDfire]

@FrontierAstro I found that without the fixes by Jon Jordan, and the lovely Andy Jones (RIP), I would have missed out. So glad I didn't

[Colin Ford @PhoenixDfire]

@F1 Aw. It's like an uncle taking his nephew to the Zoo on a Sunday! 😁

[Colin Ford @PhoenixDfire]

@roadtrip0088 @EliteDangerous If it was forever locked in the store, then it would be P2W, but it's early access, so just wait three months, and you'll be able to. 🙄

[Colin Ford @PhoenixDfire]

@FrontierAstro I do wish they'd redone it for the specy 128k properly. All the ships and more special missions. I know the guys that did the port said they could put more content in the 48K version, but they ran out of time.
