Michael Brookes' Memorial Lore Tour - June 29th.

Hi all,

I'm going to be hosting a one off lore tour of significant locations to do with the work of Michael Brookes within ED as a small memorial to the great man. You are all welcome to join in.

Event Details:

Time : 20.00 to 22:00 British Summer Time (UTC+1)

Date : 29th June (Thursday)

Game Version : You can use any version of the game. I will be in EDH v4.0 if you would like to try instancing with me. The content of the tour will be in the live twitch stream, with the game serving as a back drop. Consoles and PC players old and new are welcome to join in which ever version of the multiverse you can get into! 🙂

Twitch : twitch.tv/drewwagar and afterwards available on youtube.com/drewwagar

Ship : Anything will do, but suggest a reasonable jump range for speed. Bring fireworks, flares, chaff etc!

Equipment : Nothing really, but Sol, Achenar and Shinrarta Dezhra permits/access recommended - if you don't have these, there's an alternative route to fly - see discord > https://discord.gg/R3ZQfDFTYe

Open, PG or Solo? Up to you, but I suggest joining my "Drew Wagar" private group prior to the stream and playing in this group for a chance to instance with like minded players.

Rules in the PG : Don't kill anyone, weapons stowed, no ramming. If you break the rules, you're out of the group.

Timeline

21:45 Arrive at final destination, "Brookes Abyss" space station in the Ross 788 system

Look forward to seeing you there to celebrate Michael Brookes' contributions to Elite Dangerous.

Right on, Commanders. And o7.

Cheers,

Drew.
 
Paid my respects at Ross 788, devastating news. Never had the pleasure to meet the chap, but it was his genuine enthusiasm which enticed me towards the game, will endeavour to tag along.

Was interesting to discover, that Ross 788 controlling faction currently is the ‘Defence Party of Nastrond’, this same faction is required to obtain the permit for the locked ‘Yggdrasil’ system ‘Nastrond’. Any thoughts on any the wider context to all the other Yggdrasil named systems, and their potential positioning above Axis Mundi?

Haha, we were wondering what caused the police to join in :-D

It was a wonderful send off, thanks from me to :
Cmdr Wagar for organising it
All of the wing leaders who pulled so many in
Everyone in the fleet
And a thumbs up for how Elite's run too - the no subscription model means that more than a few retired commanders were able to come back to pay their respects
o7 Mr Brookes

Going back through the footage the 'hostile Cmdr' is above Drew at 02:25:20 while 2 NPCs are shooting at me on the left. I'm Yellow to Drew throughout.
 
Many thanks to Drew for organising this and to everyone who took part. It was good to be able to pay my respects in-game for Michael Brookes, who did so much to make the game a good place to be, even after so many years (I started a day after launch in December 2014). My choice of ship was the Type 7, as this features at the beginning of Elite: Legacy.
At each waypoint I took a couple of scenic screenshots:
