New hope for landable moon?

[Deleted member 182079]

That's not a moon - it's a space station!

It’s probably because this guy won’t let FDev issue landing permits.

Just read that NASA have released a free-to-use-by-anyone high resolution 3D map of the moon... https://apple.news/AsY16U5cIQIeUP_QJzpI_Jw
No excuses now FDev!

That is cool.

Does anybody know the Elite lore concerning the Moon?
Is it perhaps a military base in Elite times?

 

[Iskariot]

Aren't they basically waiting for in-game cities before they let us land on the moon. IIRC, it's supposed to be pretty heavily populated, not just a couple of starports.

It is? Heavily populated, in Elite lore?

Elite's Moon lore was written by Oliver Postgate. It will be the huge reveal, dwarfing all that Thargoid nonsense. #clangersarereal

According to the timeline that came with Elite 2, it was heavily industrialised by the end of the 21st century.

I don't understand why we can't land on the moon (Luna). it's literally the same as any of these barren moons that we can land on

I don't understand it either. Will Frontierever answer this question? It is just plain inconsistent that the Moon isn't landable. It should have bases and roads all over it.

I think you just answered your own question...

They have to make it hollow...it's Dahak after all!
