'Ground level' at the top of Everest has a lower gravity than 3km above the Dead Sea.

I'll double check on that later tonight but I don't think that I landed on top of a hill when I was at ground level. I doubt that though, as I would have to have landed on a "hill" that was at least 6km high.

The thing is, that with ED showing gravity to two decimal places, the difference between 1.81g and 1.82g can be minuscule - eg 1.814999 and 1.815000 - which can be easily explained by differences in height above/below 'sea level' or by non-spherical planet shape.

I'm personally not going to get excited by a variation in gravity of less than 0.1g, and especially not a fluctuation that is lost in the rounding.

You are most likely right but keep in mind that Planet 3's distinguishing feature is that is mostly flat (re: easily explained by differences in height above/below 'sea level'), the two points are a short distance from each other (re: non-spherical planet shape) and 0.01 difference in g's might be a small amount when compared to celestial bodies but quite a force if it were caused by some kind of a ship, or other "non-nature made" object. I don't have much hope though, as overtime many of these strange things have proved to just be bugs.

How much rep do you have to spread before you can rep someone again?

Salome may communicate more than Lassie but she has less charisma than Skippy.

Wonder how all the old jokes would be recycled in the Elite universe.

Does this gravity make me look fat?

There's a fine line between [non-consensual congress] and consent, the Perseus Gap.

Why did the Osirian cross the Rift?

How many Imperials does it take to change a light?

Traveling trade ship jokes?

While trading for performance enhancers in BD+12 1140 a python pulled up and scanned me. I answered the holofac and a nine year old boy appeared wearing makeup, a pink peignoir, swilling lavian brandy while smoking a cigar so I asked "Is your captain aboard?" The boy replied "What the frac do you think?"

I think you should consider the expression on Cmdr Chijima's face in the light of the blood on my axe :eek:

So have you been pushed over the edge yet?

Seen the newsletter, Elite meet Bristol raising money for "hearing dogs for Death people."

funny day

Yesterday I also checked Orcus (in roman mythology Orcus is the god of the underworld, as Pluto(n) is in greek mythology, in addition to that it represents the dark side of the underworld’s deity; it’s also a body within SOL), just not to oversee something if present. Here I also recognized a really large amount of military ships, even more as on Charon, single ones as well as in wings, they were in orbit, were landed or were patroling the surface. It seemed strange, as if they await or protect something, or both. I also saw many convoys leaving or approaching in a straight line, mostly T7 escorted by Cobras and Vipers, but they were civilian and not military. snip

Same on Eris, plenty of traffic around. Nothing meaningful so far.

Seems the threshold is around 5000 m . 1.81 lower, 1.82 higer.
Going to make more measures.
