Did he wear your hull down to 42% and then fly away, giggling?!

I saw Commander Chris Roberts a week or so back, he was in a sidewinder and had a clean record so I didn't shoot him.

Tobytyke1972 · Nov 25, 2014

I got attacked by inspector Gadget, which was a little cool. Until he started to hand my Ass to me on the plate. So I had to run.

Voyager_NL · Nov 25, 2014

Here's my tribute to the SOL system. A 30 minute tour of the planets from Mercury to Saturn. From Mars onward obviously there's a lot of supercruising.

I came across Chris Roberts once in Beta 2. He was wanted, so I blew him up

There's a station called Ridley Scott somewhere if I'm not mistaken.

Am I the only person with the game that's noticed that the colour of Sol is wrong? When you look directly at the sun from Earth (which is not recommended btw) then it is indeed the colour it is in the game. However if you look directly at it from above the earth (again not recommended) then it is in fact actually white! I think Frontier have done this because most people would think the colour from the earth would be the same in space but its not. Here's the proof before anyone asks for it. http://www.universetoday.com/18689/color-of-the-sun/

I suppose he made him jettison his cargo of towels and made off with that.

We actually have something in the lines of the Total Perspective Vortex in the galaxy map. Only the "You are Here"-sign is missing.

Devs attention! Please add a "You are here"-sign to the Galaxy map. That would be a great tribute to Adams.

the sun is white in appearance from space and is classified as a G2V star, informally called a yellow dwarf star, because its visible radiation is most intense in the yellow-green portion of the spectrum

you are indeed correct, but not the only one to notice hehe

Yeah, that's in one of the systems near Lave. There's also a station called George Lucas in the same cluster of systems.
