CUBEO

Damn things are everywhere ! I've forgotten where mine is!? It's so lost like a sand granule alongside it's peers. Can't discern it from the others...
No seriously there are too many crammed into the bubble and beyond that it's unrealistic.
I think a levy of 10 a system max and others park nearby systems or something.. the realism has gone... yeah can be filtered out I know but there are too many.. 13000 or so I read somewhere.
All the triple boranns are chock full of em so much so that neighbouring systems are also maxed out with carriers.
Something should have been done or implemented to take account of this situation
 
Prismatic rank grinding perhaps? Less risk of naughty gankers if you can hide inside an indestructible spaceship.

Grow some stones you big girls!
 
I told this will happen, told this before first beta. "No, you are paranoid" they said. "There are a bunch of stars" they said. "You will never even meet FC because of 400 billion stars" they said. They were too excited. Now here we are.
 
Here's the real question: how do you pronounce 'Cubeo'?

Is the 'CU' pronounced like 'ice cube" or 'bear cub' or 'river current' or 'cumin spice'? Is the 'EO' pronounced like 'Oreo cookie' or 'Rodeo Drive'? Is the emphasis on the first syllable (CUBE-ee-oh) or second (cube-EE-oh)? That's like 16 possible combinations right there.

Inquiring minds want to know.

KEW-bee-oh. Or, to go full Achenarian accent, ka-YOO-bee-yo.

Given that David Braben himself pronounces Cobra as "Cob-Rah" I'd argue that you can pronounce the names in Elite Dangerous any way you want.

I've had disagreements with people who insist that Aisling is pronounced "Ash ling" saying that it's an old Irish name, even though she's a fictional character in a space sim game from another planet .... and there isn't a h in Aisling (I pronounce it as "A-ling", the A as in hay with "is" being silent because while silent letters is a part of word pronunciation, inserting letters that aren't in a word, isn't otherwise you could pronounce Aisling as Ais-Llanfairpwyllgwyngogerycheerwyndrobwyllantysilliogogoch-ling Duval)

I have a hard time sometimes watching Malic (he of Malic_VR) and the way he pronounces some of the system names in the game. But I accept that the way he pronounces names is just as valid as the way I pronounce them.
