Elite Dangerous | Solar System Tour

Very cool. Remove "wanted" ships from the game and it can totally be a school educational tool. Kids would LOVE to fly there rather than learning it from a book. Fly to our Sun and jot down size, composition, temperature stats. Fly by the planets, and land on a few of the moons. Learn about the various orbits, gravitational forces, etc. And that's just ONE star system!

And to think I take all these beautiful sights, with plausible science and data, Newtonian flight model, stars, planets, orbits, nebulae, and the rest of the wonderful objects available in Elite... quickly ignore all of it and just go shoot pirates at a RES lol.

Well done, FDev!
 
Now we need Jonathan Ferguson, Keeper of Firearms and Artillery of the Royal Armouries, which houses a collection of thousands of iconic weapons from throughout history to react to all the Odyssey hand-held firearms/weapons. I'm sure he would cringe at the Manticore Oppressor.
 
We need more of this content, a "tourist" mode without combat or progression in the game that compete against Space Engine, the trojan horse to add more players related to science.

We have some players using this for educational tools. Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/11xnkfi/thankyou_to_the_community_taking_students_into/


And lots of people learning astronomy and astrophysic from ED discussions, reading the system map info, the names in the galaxy map or more: Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/612s9q/elite_just_made_me_60/

Yesterday, I slept later searching a real star, that was gifted to another player for his wedding, and using Parallax for distance, and brute force Right Ascension and Declination into ED Coords (I help to make the opposite with lot of help for other players, and included in a webpage for a Astronomy app). The star don't exist, but the coords show some F-stars in the border of the galaxy at only 40Ly of the point (3362Ly from Sol, in Draco constellation), now the "owner" can visit his system, and make some photos to include in this certificate.

Distant Worlds 3 in only 8 months, remember DW2 with 13615 CMDRS, this events move the community.

And I don't want to admit, but you sell AspX Prebuilt that is a good explorer, and DW3 is the event that sell it because some players could be time constrained. We can share guides for fast money and engineering in a DBX-Mandalay, but also how to bypass all of this in a zero rebuy ship. We don't like Pay2Win, but some fast alternative to late joiners is ok (and limited by prebuilt rules, this ships are hard to improve). Can you add Artemis suit Grade2 with improved jets and Executioner Grade2 with scope in the package? for exobio far away, some mountain climbing, and the only binoculars monocular in the game. Some carrot on stick motivation for this changes.

Is it just me or does a presentation of the game with no Saturnian rings seem a bit "shot in the foot"?

Not exactly a glowing advert for the game, coupled with the stuttering issue on display too.

Oh, and a bit of nit-picking - Arf said you can visit any of these stars in the galaxy map - erm, no, permit locks, cough cough.

Elite also gets prescribed when you have insomnia.
