Dude - I very nearly wrote exactly that! And what about the stuff on our site?
Hold on a moment...
What is your Canonn nom de guerre, then - come clean, you're among friends
Plagiarism is the purest form of flattery, no? ;-)

That's good, I'm sure that other guy can go back and pick it up when he is done at Ganymede.
College professors seem to have a totally different take on that.
I teach at a local uni part-time, from time to time, among other things...

I'll ask him if there were any nice even surfaces on Europa. I'm dying for some low G ice hockey.
Talk about being checked over the boards - how about off the planet?
That guy is checking out rumours of your Tau Ceti aliens now BTW, FWIW.
Or was, until his beta crashed.

I'm very gratified you feel so confident.
Cheers,

Ps. And it might be fun to work the Canonn into the canon, perhaps with some cannon. That would make it multi-cannon, yes?

The Doctor is already a radio star

Canonn's explosive multicannon in canon?
Good to see you Drew

Just a post to all you fine people...
I am an oldbie/'84er... and older; back to Zero Wing, X-Wing & beyond...
I remember getting a game, opening the box and having treasure fall out; ship diagrams, manual, thingies... it was less "the stuff" than it was a world - something to bring me into the game's universe; the story. Something people had worked hard on for my enjoyment of the game. Something to sparkle in my mind. I read it all (pored over it, actually).
So I've been disappointed with many games issued past 2003 or so... no manual, some PDF abomination perhaps if you're lucky...
What I want to say to the Canonn is, thanks for the efforts, the pursuit of knowledge; for giving me more to flesh-out this Elite: Dangerous universe; to give me more to think about than pew-pew-I-win. Reading this thread (along with the old '84 info, the other stuff that came with the Frontier series, the novellas, etc) has been great fun & wonderment and... "the right stuff."
Yeah, I am a sloppy sentimentalist but... thanks, you guys
regards,
relayer
BTW... do you think these people should be made aware of the work on UAs?
‘We have no idea what it is’: Weird space signal could be from aliens
Maybe their radio telescopes are pointing at Merope?

The description for Peregina is unique for that system. I got a permit for it a long while back to investigate it to see if there was any connection between that system and the UA. Never found any reason to believe they are related other than that peculiar description.
That would be pretty cool to see the Canonn in Drew's writings.
All your fiction are belong to us

lol perfect response

With all that cannon it would be a pretty powerful multi-cannon (better than the ones we can buy in the game

Yeah I think that's why some folks pay extra money for collector's editions of some games. And I also miss getting goodies like that with my game. Legend of Zelda and Starflight both immediately come mind. Kids now might not care for all that stuff, but I grew up getting maps and stories with my games, and now it feels empty when you just get like a 3 page manual and a bunch of advertisements for other games the company made. And if you get the digital version of a game you won't even get that.
Ohhh, the good ole days

Glad I'm not the only one around here that played starflight (and loved it). Other favs of a bygone era are Trade Wars 2002 and Masters of Orion.
