Alec.

I want to say a huge thank you for your sterling work with your Best of the Forum. I've found myself checking it out whenever there is an update. It's easy to miss interesting stuff - I'd have never caught the epic SRV journey into a space station without this thread.

The curated resources are also really useful for separating the wheat from the chaff when I need to research something. Setting up my Rift has been made much easier by following your recommended threads.

Keep up the good work!

Dated now but still epic... Neospike?

Dated now but still epic... Neospike?

Good one! Is there a writeup of that somewhere? I searched the forum for neospike but only found two posts, your mention above and a mention in the Sag A* thread.

Just a quick heads up that I have a long weekend break and then a holiday coming up shortly afterwards so updates to this thread are likely to be a little thin on the ground for the next couple of weeks.

NO!!! Get your priorities right man!

Although if your holiday is scheduled to fall between BRC races, then perhaps you have!

Have a great weekend Alec!

Cheers Alex - already had Sag Eye on my todo list actually. I'm back in the saddle for a couple of days so will hopefully be able to get that one into the OP later today. I'm thinking of rejigging things slightly to have a newletters/blogs/eMagazines section for stuff like this and "The Outpost".

Trending: issue #1 of the superb new monthly magazine "Sagittarius Eye" out now, a glorious wall-sized exploration expedition poster from Qohen Leth, hilarious docking and launch videos plus two brand new regular racing groups (one for SRV base rallying and one for PS4 canyon racing).

...a glorious wall-sized exploration expedition poster from Qohen Leth...

Loosely on that topic, just today I stumbled upon this very interesting map of the explored galaxy as of 4th September 2017 via an article on Tom's Hardware, made by cmdr ModishNouns with data taken from EDDB (related reddit thread here)

Spoiler

There are a lot of interesting things to find there (like really, some cmdrs deserve extreme kudos for creative routes!)...I'm not really up to date with forum things, so sorry in case it comes as old news.

FYI for the trending, these crazy guys just docked an SRV in an orbital station!
