Sol [warm fuzzy feeling]

I was also shocked to find out that Earth is the only planet in ED that is flat.

Is that accompanied by in game music based on side 3 of Tales from Topographic Oceans?

No, seriously, kudos to OP. I don't visit Sol that much in the game but it's nice to head back every so often and visit home. :)

Hi all, just gained my Permit for access to Sol. Have been flying the galaxy for a while but just now achieved it... access to "home". I have a warm fuzzy feeling of pride and achievement, I can come home.

Is it just me? Or do we all feel the warm fuzzy feeling of Sol when we get the permit? The ability to fly above the earth in my Python feels... well, special. I've visited many different systems, and been a fair old distance from home. But still. I thought home was Lave (I'm an 80s kid...), but it's not, it's Sol apparently. This much is clearer to me now.

I know it's only a game, but.... (I think I'm over-thinking this...) :)

I have had the permit for several years, but never went there.
I had the feeling that some things over there needed a bit of touching up first: Some moons needed to be added, textures improved etc.
I would be interested in accessing a moon base, but it should not be a copy/paste structure. Something unique. Something that feels old and used.

In general I would love to see more variation of station exteriors.

It'd be nice if Sol had more to offer than rich tourists and the possibility of delivery missions to Hutton. :cautious:

It has some of the most interesting moons in known space (not just Ariel). It also has huge quantities of the highest profit margin commodity in the bubble.

Atmospheric landings will also transform the system.

I am interested. What commodity is that?

I wouldn't have expected Sol to be all that interesting (and it wasn't). It's full of rich people, after all. That's like expecting Mayfair to be the most engaging part of London.

That is conic, not flat. Plus everyone knows if Earth were flat, cats would have pushed everything off the edge by now.

NASA and the evil Government are patrolling around the edges, shooting any cat that comes near. Go do your research. :D

Flat Earthers aren't very bright so they called their conic model the Flat Earth. Sometimes I just hope that they are trolling, otherwise our future might not be as bright as shown in Elite. :)

Warm and Fuzzy? Nope.

1000 years in the future I imagine that Earth in the ED universe will be a polluted hell hole populated by the descendants of sheep too afraid of their own shadows to take the leap into space, ruled by despots pretending to be benevolent elected officials espousing the benefits of democracy while secretly knowing that the democracy they indulge in is more akin to two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for lunch. 🥵 👹

I can go there and have. Wasn't impressed.

Warm and fuzzy? Hardly.

BGS trading Polymers, normally buy for anywhere from 30 to 300 credits, sell for up to 17,000 credits per tonne.

Oops 17,000 is thorium (great for trading) polymers is 9000cr, still very good considering the buy price.

I’m still trying to find one willing to cover the fuel costs for me to sail to the edge so I can climb down and rejoin my underearth people.
