Alec's best of the forum (and elsewhere) thread

[CMDR MAIN SEQUENCE]

Thanks!

That's a real shame about objectscanner ... that was a cool little site. I've contacted the person I think might be responsible for it in the hope that it can be made available again.

FYI, wavescanner.net has also been down for a little while too, same author (shellstrom).

Shouldn't that be 'derring-do'? http://www.dictionary.com/browse/derring-do

It seems you are correct sir!

I'll get that fixed asap.

Added Jon Potts "New Cmdrs Welcome Pack" to the "Manuals, guides and other stuff for new players" section. It's an IMGUR album absolutely jam packed with useful infographics (many of them featured elsewhere in this thread) covering everything from the HUD, to mining, to exploration guides and loads in-between. An incredibly rich source of information (warning: can take a while to load the complete album on slower internet connections).

Added a link at the bottom of the "Misc' other useful and/or interesting links" section to Paige Harvey's excellent livestream Q&A thread which contains detailed answers to numerous questions raised during each of the Frontier livestreams (including Thursdays C&P one with Sandy)..

On holiday so I won't attempt to update the OP via the iPad ... one false touch on the screen and I could accidentally delete the lot!

I'll just leave this here tho' ... Ozric's fabulous "funny or famous NPC names" thread!

Back from holiday and look what I made!

Anyway ... I'm slowly catching up.

I've tidied up the Trending section and added a couple of new(ish) things - Frontier's xmas charity livestream thread, a deep dive into the Thargoid swarm and episode 2 of Eros Madelung's brilliant "Physics of Elite" Youtube series on Gravity and the Roche limit.

What no Coriolis???



Welcome back and congratulations, they're impressive!

Alas turning a Coriolis on a potter's wheel turned out to be beyond my capabilities!

Hi Alec,

Why don’t you have “spoilers” for every section?

Your original thread is very long and you need to scroll a lot to get to the later sections.

Just saying.

I'd be curious to know what others think. Personally, despite its length, I still kinda like the big scrolling page with headings. There's a certain amount of vagueness and overlap between sections so I kind of imagine that many people just peruse the entire thing looking for stuff that sounds interesting rather than specifically honing in on one particular section.

INRA base #10 has been found, which lead to someone finding a crashed Cobra Mk III with the name Jameson on it

I like it as it is pretty well. I find it easy to navigate.
