In game event coming up

drew · Mar 28, 2017

Xbox folks,

Hopefully you're aware that I'm in the midst of planning an in-game event to allow players to decide how the end of the upcoming Elite Dangerous Novel 'Premonition' plays out. If not, it will take place on the 29th of April. More details to come.

Just wanted to stress that whilst we can't share an in-game universe with PC and Xbox players (in terms of actual PvP) due to technical limitations, we are including xbox players in the undertakings. Events in the xbox universe will take place concurrently with events in the PC universe and there will be something for Xbox players to interact with as part of what we have planned.

More details will follow, but for now, please save the date. 29/04/3303.

Fly safe in the void, Xbox Commanders.

Cheers,

Drew.

Recently finished Reclamation. It didn't leave a bunch of hanging questions at the end, so thank you for that.

We did notice a little news article with Salome in it recently, she tried to off Patreus? Girl after my own heart. There was a bit of talk and speculation after that popped up though, especially considering the recent CG in Prism. My guess is that this is part of what's going to be leading us into the new season.

So in the first Galnet article it was mentioned that Commanders should look for a Cobra with the Callsign Lima-Uniform-Charlie. Can we actually find that cobra in-game or was it just to give some depth?

Also the same question for the most recent article. Will be able to find them with their respective bounties?

Or will everything be on until the 29th?

Well that whole thing is a little confusing, considering the end of the book.

Actual spoilers, sort of:

Cobra Lima Uniform Charlie, or the Cowell and McGrath Cobra piloted by Luciano Prestigio Giovanni, Bella Prncipessa. Which means Luko's mixed up in this, because at the end of the book Salome was in the Seven Veils, a Imperial Courier.

You can find some more flavor here at Drew's site. It goes over some references in Reclamation.

Don't worry, Drew. Plenty of us Xboxers are following what's going on. VERY, VERY closely.

I've been getting books digitally lately, way easier, nice and instant too. As much as I like having a physical book in hand, being able to read wherever my phone is (everywhere) is great. They cost about as much as a paint job pack.

Wut? Really? Damn, Black Friday type 9 or a book? This must be one of the hardest choices on my life

In the book, the ship is described more like a Clipper or a Cutter, but called a Courier [where is it]

Looking forward to getting involved in this, been following this storyline keenly after reading Reclamation last year.

First page for all the juicy bits. If you go through all of the pages, you'll go mad....
