Nice idea. I see all that griefers waiting there with packs of kleenex.
40 Years of Hauling Food Around the Stars.. Elite's Ruby Anniversary
- Thread starter Frank
- Start date
I'll be there if I can.
Calling yer ship the "Happy Birthday" is a most excellent idea. I'm going over to outfitting to see if there's a colour which is close to ruby red
Nice idea,
Vibrant at 1600
Predator Rose and Ignition both at 5000
Stygian at 10000.
Look to be the closest.
But I think I will stick with the previous anniversary scheme.
It's an ED:Tracker, if you remember those. A head tracker that uses open source software to track the position of your head.

Gyroscope-based. IIRC they had issue with drifting and calibration, but as 1st gen fan-made tech made specifically for Elite it was pretty great!
"Head tracker", now there's a name I haven't heard in years. I guess it's good to keep a track of yer head

If we get so many Cobras to Lave Station it crashes the servers, I'd consider that a win

That aged well

Yes indeed - only a true cynic would suggest that the "Ruby Anniversary" paint-jobs are a grubby cash-grab at 10,000 arxes each*.
* (that is over £5 per ship).
Some of the thumbnails weren’t that bright but I wouldn’t have said they were grubby.
The anniversary decals in a range of colours have tempted me to buy.
I've already bought my as-close-to-ruby-as-available-at-the-time paintjob. I don't know if I've got enough in the pot for actual ruby
...but I'll certainly be sporting the ruby decal tonight around Lave Station
Way ahead of you. Watching the Cobras arriving at Lave this afternoon (And seeing the galmap centred on Lave after what seems a long time) is something.
18 tonnes of textiles to Zaonce, couple of grand...
