Elite Dangerous Community Schedule W/C 17 May 2021

even if it's 20 years old tech. ;)
Do you know all the technologies that have 2000 years ?

Seriously I knew the remote access of a computer in the 90s, I even used it as part of an internship in a company.

But I had approached it superficially. ;)

However, I did not know that we can remotely start a switched off computer.

@Zac Cocken when you say launch time can you clarify if this means start playing time or start downloading time? If the latter it means play time might be 4-5hours later based on the Alpha download time.
Many thanks
Well the launch time is the same as the time the servers are supposed to come back up, so it has to be the start of the download phase which will last anywhere from minutes to many hours depending on things like connection, infrastructure, steam and other disadvantages.
 
Odyssey competition: calling it now, it will be a race to Elite for the new ranks like when the game came out.
 
Tuesday

Odyssey Competition: We'll have more information on this tomorrow, but this is not a competition any Commander will want to miss!

So assuming I dont want to miss it, and also assuming no LS unless oversight, where should I be looking for this? As in UK its nearing the end of the workday....

We hope you're as excited as we are for the launch, and we're looking forward to seeing where your newfound legs will take you!

Tuesday has come and gone...what was this "competition" I missed out on? Was it that computer raffle for people in Britain and Ireland? Wow, I must've slept through that. Ah well.

Small nitpick, but it's in the word-choice: a contest or competition requires skill, but a giveaway or sweepstakes requires luck. A Lottery is just like a giveaway or sweepstakes, with the only difference being you have to pay real-world money for the chance to win (which is why it's regulated by the government under the department of "gambling").

If it were truly a CONTEST, one open to the Americas, I would prefer attempting to flex skill than luck...even though I've never really actually won first place before (came in second a couple times, which while not BAD, it's also "first loser").
 
Where's the Forum where I can complain that I won't be able to get my twitch drops this week? ;)
Unfortunately I'm at work until 6pm. :(

I believe it was this overclockers Gleam thing ...


Basically subscribe to 10 different areas of social media to do with Elite or overclockers.co.uk for 10 chances to win in a raffle. Nice prizes, crappy "competition".

It's not even a "competition" in the strictest sense of the word. As I nitpicked slightly earlier, a "competition" requires SKILL! Offering prizes for partaking in CQC or Buckyball, for example, THAT is a "competition." Even ignoring the logistic snags that inflicted repeated criticism on FDev and pals, THIS here asks for LUCK, which is NOT skill!
