List of Acronyms?

Chreaus

Does anyone have or (would) be willing to create an updated list of acronyms? I know ED has a Glossary of some starter terms but as a person trying to get to understand the in's and out's of some of the grind "systems", the forums and reddit are two excellent resources. But, like any thread on any message-board deep down in the weeds, much of the discussion among the experienced players writing tips includes TONS of acronyms... example: "Sick of LTD mining..." " with the best thrusters and OD, maybe a couple of SRV's and SRV and a SLF for canyon running ", "I was initially looking for easy things that spawn in a number of states, such as CDCs, MGAs, PLAs, PHRs etc." etc... Not to mention all the acronyms (and abbreviations) for Engineering materials (mats). Many times i find myself googling "what does 'XYZ' mean in Elite Dangerous".

I know learning the lingo comes with familiarity of a game but with so many things to have to hunt and peck for in ED, any CMDR's willing to help out by populating a list here on the forums?

The company I work for published a small book containing most of the internally used acronyms. There were several where the same acronym had four or five different meanings depending upon context.

Acronyms are the devil's work. :D
 

[VR] M4st0d0n

[VR] M4st0d0n
HC : Hotel California
MCB : More Cow Bell
OOPPOL : Open only power play open letter.
GG : Git gud. No balance, no good game.
BGS : Background sim. G is often superfluous.

Welcome. Most thing in here you'll learn by the shear repetition anyway.
