Competitors will find the event mountain for this year's Galactic Base Jumping Open Final - Njokujinun System , Planet 1. Location is planet side at Lat -13 Long -128. Emergency and First Aid is located at Nyberg Vision Station in low orbit.

The following message is preceeded by this basic warning, you might blow up doing any or all of the activities procrastinated, demonstrated or otherwise alluded to in this post. Bounties and Powerplay Merits will be lost if this happens. You have been warned, cash your cheques

So, I have surveyed the location for Jumps tommorow, Geo Stationary and Solar Wind conditions look favorable, Equipment is readily available at all 3 stations in system.

We have Prize Credits. The winner is decided by a panel of 3 Judges based on points in the 4 events/points eligable areas:

Best Crash (if you fail to crash for any reason but score well in the other 3 areas, then you will win bonus points, this is a wildcard category)
Longest Freefall (landed, and alive)
Best Base Jump (can include tricks for extra style)
Place in the Downhill Race.

Jumps will be recorded should a Judges Enquiry be needed and most likely available on YouTube or Twitch, subject to Internet Weather.

Feel free to bring your friends to participate, they must be in the private group to take part in the Main event. This is a faction free event. You might even get to say "Hi" to some adversaries, we are mostly adults and kick is always available.

Instructions: Buy one (or 2 or 3) of the Planetary Vehicle Hanger and buy the SRV for the slots in the Star Port, Nyberg Vision 2ls (!) off surface and practically geo stationary:

A Cobra Mark III can fit 2 without further upgrades (2 SRV each) for a meagre 600k, and you only spend 30k on the 10% ship sale. Maximum fun minumum cost.

Almost any ship will do, dont forget your planetary approach suite, if you took it off for any reason.

Then just drop down to surface find a nice spot with a steep bit, get yourself to a drop off and BOOOOOOOOOST!

Refill SRV's at the station. Repeat and Stir.

Good luck and see you Nyberg Vision 2pm UTC/GMT.

Video will follow on YouTube of the Event that took place today.

We are very grateful to announce that the First Base Jumping Final went off without a hitch.


We welcome any further support such as the publishing on Galnet that we received, today on the Launcher no less.

Unfortunately the extremity of the event led the turnout to be a small bunch of Elite Base-Jumpers, and even they had some trepidation at making this particular drop in. Two Jumps from a total of 10 were landed successfully.

Commander Alec Turner won the event in a stylish 8km drop off, landing the jump but then colliding with a rather unwelcome rock shortly thereafter.

Please post the whereabouts of any large mountains, well lit canyons, or unusal landable features on low medium g worlds (0.02-0.10g (or perhaps above). A simple system and planetary number and if you have coordinates all the better. Perferably near the starting systems.





The new season will begin in Febuary.

Ow, sorry i missed this. :)

Good jump locations can be found on rocky bodies with about 500 km radius. There's at least two around the black hole in Maia system. I'm outside of the bubble currently and staying there for a while.
These moons have G of aroun .10 to .20 and mountains of up to 12-15 km. Oh, and that's a really weird view :)

Note: alas (or perhaps thankfully) the audio for my own commentary failed to record in the following videos so just take it for granted that what I was saying was both illuminating and hilarious!



Cmdr Sn0wman attempts to jump both ships, and, errr, fails.

My first jump ...

For those that are about to jump,
May the mountain make them truly grateful.
