I remember when Thargoids were a real threat that could pull you out of hyperspace anytime, having a fight with them, on a Sunday morning lasting over 3 hours with pirates joining in fighting against me at the same time and my mother threatening me to pull the fuse if I won‘t come for lunch.
I remember when 30 yrs. later I drew a little map of the first few systems that were available for the backers before official release of ED, just like I did it in 1984 - knowing that it will be a useless activity soon, but the excitement, the awe... just flying a Cobra again.
Yesterday I landed on a planet in Beta, full of Space Pumpkins, vibrant colored ground connecting them with bloodlines, as it seemed and all under a thick layer of fog, but almost more an atmosphere. The sound department gave the SRV scanner an unholy upgrade, when you scan these pumpkins, it‘s almost as they would talk, really scary. Another moment to remember, I thought and flew to an awesome Lagrange cloud with remarkable crystals and unnamed organisms in it, and so my memory is filled continuously along my years of flying in Elite... I do not want this to end, ever. It will eventually, but then give us the next version, pls.
Thank you FD.
