Why does saturn have a notable human signal? 🤔
 
And what’s/when’s the new book??
AHTW was a good read; I’m always on the lookout for similar calibre reading material!
Edit: anybody know how to turn off the forum auto correct mis-spelling expert idiot on iPad?
John Harper's upcoming book is called "The Bezerker" (yes, no r) unless his working title has changed. I believe he has it, or part of it anyways, in with a publisher now, so hopefully Soon (tm MB). My understanding is it is sci-fi in a universe of his own design that he has been sketching out for some years now.
 
I found this when I decided to look at the hexagonal storm of Saturn.

“It’s a journey every player has to make for themselves.” - Has anyone tried to fly into the eye? I mean you drop out quite far from supercruise, maybe flying close/into Saturn?

a year and a half ago, I conducted various experiments with it for two days - I did not find anything
 
FDev just posted on twitter asking what players favorite mystery in Elite was. In the lower left of the image of the interceptor is the text "hesperus" in morse. This seems to be a reference to venus is sol as there does not appear to be a system or station with that name. The people on twitter don't seem to have noticed it yet. It might be a player image that fdev reused without noticing the faint graphic, but when they do that they usually credit the player who took the screen shot. Also may not be Raxxla related, but seems worth checking out regardless.

Currently burning for sol on the other monitor.

Visited both Venus (Sol) and Lucifer (Sirius) and found the following:
Venus - Megaship transporting some gold and common resources;
Lucifer - Persistent Distress Call with 3 pirates in the instance;

Also docked at the stations orbiting both Venus and Lucifer and didn't find any message.

So... yeah... I'm out of ideas on what to make from the morse code message "Hesperus"

Or it was just reuse and somebody just signed:

I'm putting my money down for a CG of rescuing a generation ship from Thargoid onslaught... fingers crossed on a Thargoid mothership in-systems and capital ships from Fed / Emp responding.

Or perhaps there is a more lengthy storyline afoot in Elite, eh Mr Drew Wagar?

The Trumble Salesman from the SS. Hesperus – A homage to the cowardly feline character from Oolite fiction, Commander Hesperus, who flies a very ramshackle Python called the “Dubious Profit” crewed by an mad crew of Lizards, Birds and Insectoids and who makes his living by flogging trumbles to the anyone he can con into buying them.


The Vindicated might need to mobilise to investigate more closely ...

Fly Dangerously,
