Ahoy Crew! A week without much news on the game side... apart from the extension of the CG to LP 855-34, and which has seen Felicia Winters' Federation largely in the lead for the CG part, but which ends with the loss of the system (>1m undermining CPs) acquired last Cycle (...). Platinum at...

Ahoy Crew! A week after the last Trailblazers 3 update (and 3.1 this week) and the confirmation that the Panther Mk2 will arrive this summer, it is clear that the colonization dynamics are going to have an ever greater impact on PP2. Not only for the possibilities of acquiring new territories...

Ahoy Crew! Soon or later FDEV would have had to fix something for the Powerplay, but that it decided to do so with a full broadside of changes was a surprise. These changes come with a new release of Trailblazers, which actually includes a lot of other updates/fixes and improvements too... (for...

Ahoy Crew! Was the one that just ended a "quiet" week? Well... so and so, as not much happened in the news. The CG in Dhan continued for the whole week (it closes today), acting as a background for a bit of PvP action. At this point, all that we/players have to do is to wait for the next...

Ahoy Crew! Holiday/long weekend ahead... players will go on trips, others will dedicate themselves to their hobbies... someone else will take advantage of this time to complete some "personal project" in the game. Why not? Colonies, explorations, long journeys across the Galaxy... or credits...

Ahoy Crew! Over the course of the Cycle it would seem that Colonisation activities have stabilized somewhat. The systems hosting the Trailblazer megaships continue to be well trafficked (pirates from the Crew had some fun following haulers' wakes to rob some cargo). Archon Delaine thanks for...

Ahoy Crew! Straight to the point: Trailblazers is the hit of the moment. As powerplayers, we are a little envious... not so much for the reduced attendace on our side, since we are aware that some activities are and will remain "niche", but because the "work in progress" is actually "in...

Ahoy Crew! Colonization activity has been restored after the short suspension (due to the near implosion of the game servers). Trailblazers has therefore returned to being the main topic discussed on the FDEV forum, reddit subs and, consequently, also on many linked Discord servers. In the...

Ahoy Crew! With the FDEV-induced "pause" on colonization activities, those who expected a resurgence of powerplay activities for the last Cycle were probably disappointed. Cycle 19 was a bit slow overall, although not as slow as the one that preceded it. Communications from FDEV have been...

Ahoy Crew! As expected, the launch of Trailblazers brought many CMDRs who had lost interest in other activities back to playing. Just take a look at the FDEV forum or the "official" subreddit to find the countless posts regarding the new “colonisation mode”, the construction of stations and...

Ahoy Crew! It's not the first time tha something similar has happened in the video game industry (and perhaps it won't be the last for Elite: Dangerous)... we're talking about the new "Trailblazers" (or "Colonisation") update released by FDEV yesterday, and featured in the last Frontier...

Ahoy Crew! The Cycle 17 begins as the last one (probably) before the release of Colonisation ("Elite Dangerous: Trailblazers") and without major news and/or changes at least as regards the Powerplay. Radio silence also regarding the requested fixes and nothing on new ships arriving (amended...

The main star had barely peeked over the dusty horizon of Schmidt's Progress colony when Captain Elara Castellanos stepped out of her quaint, unassuming abode. Her eyes, the color of deep space itself, squinted against the stark light as she took in the scene before her. The colony looked almost...

Ahoy Crew! We open our usual end-of-Cycle report with some, let's say, "organizational" news. The Tortuga Discord is [finally] up and running, so thanks to the Crimson Privateers for the hosting and for the resources they have dedicated to Archon Delaine's and Kumo Crew powerplay activities...

Ahoy Crew! Unfortunately there are no seas to sail in Elite; Dangerous, and therefore no islands either. Tortuga exists, not as a geographic location where pirates and scoundrels can take refuge and relax, but as the venue from which these posts, along with releases and updates regarding the...

Greetings, notable Kumo pilots and... well, the rest of you. Cycle 13 was a slightly quieter one for us - it's not every week that you can steal the symbolic home system of another power, after all. But quiet though it may have been, it was still a successful one. While we haven't let LTT 198...

Ahoy Crew! Another week in radio silence, without updates or fixes, which continue to be the subject of players' debate almost everywhere. There is a sense of disappointment, and it couldn't be otherwise... as enthusiasts of Elite Dangerous, here it is (for the umpteenth time) a request to FDEV...

Well pirates, piratees, uncategorized scumbags, and unrelated parties - What. A. Cycle. The big story first: LTT 198 In our very first cycle together we took Zemina Torval's pride and joy, the home of her famed mining company and her namesake Torval Orbital, and put our names on it. This week...

Our Minister of Propaganda, CMDR Geno Garon, has assembled a video for your enjoyment. You will enjoy it, so says the Minister of Propaganda.

Ahoy Crew! First of all, let's start with the latest GalNet news from Nanomam... Archon Delaine declared his responsibility for an explosion aimed at shadow president Jerome Archer. The objective of the attack on a prominent figure of the Federation has not been explained... only the most loyal...

Ahoy Crew! let's start our weekly update with the fun stuff... it was a great pleasure to welcome back to Harma one of the most relevant recurring events in the Elite Dangerous PvP scene: Wyrd Wednesday, organized by Mike Metallic's Warriors of Wyrd. The most funny part for us is that Wednesday...

Ahoy Crew! Call at arms against the Thargoid Titans, it's about time! after the last Community Goals, in which the narrative of the war against the Xeno had clearly taken a turn towards the final action, it seems that the decisive moment is approaching. Thanks to new technology (the so called...

Nothing in this post concerns the Archon Delaine power, only the Kumo Council minor faction. Operation Hungry Bear Kumo Council thinks they can just waltz in and take other people's stations. Let's give them a taste of their own medicine. Here is the full list of Kumo Council assets that...

Recent encounters in the California Nebula have confirmed that Thargoid Interceptors will only exhibit hostile behavior if provoked. Multiple AX Conflict zones have been spotted, where both Humans and Thargoids have engaged. Evidence of hostility can be seen here alongside encounters with...

I apologize that I may be interrupting any conspiracy theorycraft or discussions on in-game realpolitik, however upon logging into Elite Dangerous this morning I happened upon this queer notification on the main menu and could not help myself but to read the full article. I nearly spat out my...
