Calm down folks, it’s just been the Easter weekend in the UK. (Good Friday and Easter Monday are national holidays here.)

As a result, things that normally happen at the start of the week can be expected to be pushed back a bit.

Stop confusing people with facts and positivity, you know they don't like it.

Greetings Commanders!

I'm back after a week's break so apologies if I'm a little slow to get caught up today! Let's dig into some Elite Dangerous community news.

Community Goals
After a busy week recently with multiple possible community goals, the galaxy is taking a slight breather over the past week! Let's take the opportunity to recognise those Commanders once again who were the top contributors to the most recent CG's:

I think it's fair to say that Commander Namix is a strong advocate of Salvation, appearing in both lists! Congratulations to all those involved, I'm sure Salvation is most pleased with your efforts.

Now that we've had a recent mining CG, I'm interested to know your ship and outfitting of choice during the event! Any unusual builds on display or was it the tried and tested miners like the Python and Cutter out there last week?

Frameshift Live
Don't forget to tune into Frameshift Live on Twitch this week at 15:00 UTC for your next chance to earn the brand new Spring Lax and Calm paintjobs for the Diamondback Explorer!

Community Event Calendar Spotlight: The Wiccan BeWare Race
It's almost time for the kick-off of the next Buckyball race! Make sure to get all the details of the Wiccan BeWare Race re-run here before it kicks off in the coming weeks! This is a re-run of a race from back in 3305, but with a twist! Expect more excitement and danger as you battle it out with your fellow Commanders to post the best time.

We're loving this real-life cockpit display from Ed Hanley! A great 3D print and paint of a good old fashioned Brain Tree.

Ah, Elite LEGO, you never fail to amaze me. This effort from Qwinter131 on Reddit groups together some of the hauling ships into a neat LEGO collection, with beautiful detail.

That's all for this week, I'm interested in hearing your mining ship choices below!

Forgive me if this reads a bit salty, but this thread is perfect evidence of why there is so much salt on the forums. A Community Manager asks a question of the community, ostensibly to engage with them, and then abandons the thread with no response. I do like all of the folks on the CM team, I really do. They just frustrate me as I don't really see them "managing" much of anything on the forum. The other IP's that FDev manage have significantly higher engagement from their respective CM's. I understand why, it just seems like Sally was the only one willing to get stuck in and get her hands dirty. And Sally, if you're reading this (which you shouldn't be because you're off the clock), know that our thoughts and prayers remain with you.

Given that it’s now 2 1/2 days into the week, I partially withdraw the above post.

(Partially, as effectively 2 working days since the last Discovery Scanner would have been lost to the Bank Holidays.)

Do you reckon they will still do the stream ? I'm going to start taking bets

Hello! We've had a bank holiday in the UK and I've also been away on a break for the past few days - thus no Discovery Scanner. Stream is still going ahead today.

Thank you for the information, although I'd suggest to either let one of the other CMs cover your duties during your absence (Paul_Crowther did quite well two weeks ago) and/or notifying the community beforehand if you knew you wouldn't have the opportunity to do a Discover Scanner.

As always just shows how much this whole community matters to Fdev. As others said the simple thing would be to at least notify of your absence knowing full well that people were waiting for at least those TINY scraps of information (seeing that the streams do not provide any)
