General / Off-Topic How to spot a Elite Dangerous player in public.

That doesn't include organized events or apparel.

On the whole I get quizzical look when raising the subject of ED or Where did you get that tee shirt mate. Mind you attempting to have a conversation About Star Wars when you are 'literally' just about to watch it gets the same response.

When I drive into a new town, I honk.

I circle fires whistling the scooping song.

When the GF is cross with me I say "hardpoints deployed"

After I park my DJ in the garage I say "Docking successful"

Joke #1: Simple. He tells you.

Joke #2: has a nervous reaction whenever anyone gets too close.

Joke#3: these are actually the truth and not jokes at all.

They are easy to spot in supermarkets.

They beat you up until your shopping drops from your trolley and then they pick it up from the floor.

They will always ask permission to join a queue for the till.

They will stand for ages at the trolley park, mulling over what size of trolley they should go for. And when they pick one, they will go miles out of their way for an engineer who can supe up the trolley, something like fitting wheels that veer less to one side.

I don't think they actually go out in public.

Do you do the loop of shame around your house, when you drive tired? I sometimes do. :x

Joke #2: has a nervous reaction whenever anyone gets too close.

I usually imagine people as hollow.

It is very, very hard, as the Elite player is extremely rare species. Most of the time they are playing solo, hidden in their bedrooms.

Ask them what year is it?

A lot of the more dubious traders are now being scrutinised by the police, after they asked market traders for slaves, narcotics, and where the local black market was.

I recognize them very easily in the public places. They oscillate the head like a bobblehead

I find it's fun to ask if they've got any decals in embarrassing places
