Discovery Scanner - 06.03.2023

A simple question from a simple Commander - will the Frameshift Live HQ Carrier set some Buy/Sell items to trade in its Commodity Market? I mean, with all the time, effort and expense of getting to Pleiades Sector DL-Y D65, it would be nice if we could make a credit or two off of F: Dev (and actually engage in some Elite: Dangerous core game activity) while we are about it!
Hmmm, will Frontier move the Carrier the way of the players or the way of the dev tools?

That’s a poser.
 
No need, there was no gameplay in livestreams lately. :p

I'm not sure they'd ever need to move the FSL carrier, but I guess they could/would circumvent the 500ly limit if they wanted to go to Colonia for example. And they most likely wouldn't get the Tritium the usual way.
 
Random question, but any chance we could get another chance to get some of the C5 and C6 corrosion-resistant cargo racks? With tissue samples helping with the war now, it'd be cool if we had a better way to hold onto them, and a lot of people missed out on the last CG. I personally was ~35kly away from the bubble at the time.
 
I do! :D

The question is of course "What do you get when you multiply six by nine?", according to when Arthur tried to teach the cavemen how to play scrabble at the end of the sixth radio play (I don't remember if it was also in the books). Six. Nine. Coincidence? I THINK NOT!

iirc 6 x 7 = 42 ^
 
As a matter of curiosity, what was the too much fun people were up to that made it unsuitable to do the show in open at the original location?

The answer comes at the end of the books and refers to the bowl of petunias...

I know I am a bit rusty on the (one and only true) trilogy concerning the books (I am much more familiar with the radio play)... but the bowl of petunias is what becomes of one of the missiles when approaching Magrathea in the first book, right? The "six by nine" joke is right at the end of the sixth radio play, when they are stranded on prehistoric earth; that is the ending of the second one, I think (the first six radio plays cover the first two books, if I remember correctly)? I really have to re-read the last three books sometime. The different incarnations of the guide can be very confusing in terms of what story bit is in which version at which point :).

God, you couldn't out yourself as a geek and nerd anymore than with discussions like these... :rolleyes:

Well at least they give updates that they're still developing it. What's supposed to be in update 15?

DA added extra books to the trilogy one of which went very well for Arthur so another was added to try and knit every loose end together (and probably stop people asking for more sequels) in that we find out why the bowl of petunias “last” thoughts were ‘Oh no not again!’ Personally I hated that book and find it upsetting that I can remember it.
