Added the ED Tools "Miner" to the "other 3rd party sites and tools" section. Handy site for finding the best place to sell those void opals ... you know .... 'cos I got a hunch people are going to want to start earning some serious money soon.
May I propose this thread for consideration? This one really shines bright : )

Not "Trending" as such (since there's no ongoing forum debate) but a few fairly exciting bits of racing news (if you're into that kind of thing).
Firstly - the Buckyball Racing Club have a new home on Discord over here: https://discord.gg/YwxcsCf
Essentially our old server was looking a bit tatty and lacking any active admins so (with the help of @MAD-7) we've moved.
Secondly - the Buckyball Racing Club now have new standing challenge (alongside the A* Challenge and the Pomeche Ridge Challenge) for those of you out in Colonia: The Colonia Trophy Dash
And lastly, @PrimetimeCasual and those crazy Speedbowlers are back again!
More details on that over the coming weeks.

Trending: Dav Stott answers more questions about his BGS Discovery Scanner presentation.
Oh, and there's a nice new article about Elite in Kotaku which is doing the rounds. Actually, having just done some research I realise it's not new at all - it's a blog post from April last year which Kotaku have just republished. I'll link the original ..

Livestream Announcement Thread
Greeting Commanders, First off, we would like to give a big thank you to CMDR @NeilF for his great work over on the Livestream Announcement Thread. We have decided to take the pressure and responsibility off of CMDR @NeilF and create our own official thread for livestream announcements. If you...
Trending: a new record time of just 1hr 52m 10s for the run from Sol to Sagittarius A*, Brett C is leaving, there's an expedtion celebrating early astronomy by visiting real places in the ED galaxy and Frontier have another record breaking year.
Also, I've added another new thread of new player hints and tips to the "manuals, guides and other stuff for new players" section.
Oh, and don't forget to watch next week's Frontier livestream which will feature Adam Woods talking about the September update (and indeed tonight's episode featuring Cmdr JackLyttle).

Oh, and I hit 1,000,000,000 credits this morning and decided to make a little video celebrating the event in a rather special way!

Trending: Eve level "heist" + something seems to be wrong with @Old Duck!!
Cool, and thanks for posting the music info as well Alec, reminded me of my earlier days listening to psychedelic bands.
Not sure though if you can serve as a role model for newcomers on how to approach and leave a space station. Har har.
Actually you'll have to thank Youtube for that - they automatically add information about copyrighted music featured in a video. I sometimes do mention it in my description but not on this occasion. Mogwai are often referred to as "Post Rock" genre. If you like that then their albums (especially the earlier ones) are really worth checking out. I'd also really recommend "Explosions In The Sky" as another terrific "Post Rock" band ..
You say that but the new player experience does encourage people to fly fast right from their very first moment in the game!

Note: Will Flanagan made a further update to the ARX thread, clarifying things such as typical values for various cosmetic items. Post linked in Trending.
Trending: the September update (including a flight tutorial for new players and a pile of bugs for existing players), Frontier fail to downplay new STORE (which was always going to be slightly contentious no matter how innocent its intentions) but shoving it in peoples faces with a bright blue UI element right there in station services (players respond with humorous orange and blue protest), Frontier celebrate 35 years of Elite and Speedbowl is back, harder and faster than ever!
