why on Earth (or otherwise) is Van Maanen's Star permit-locked? there seems to be absolutely nothing there out of the ordinary!
I have had lots of Van Maanan theories for Raxxla. All of them essentially revolving around the Feds wanting to hide the Martian relic, so they gift the sublime order a system and hide it there (they live underground) and its illegal to enter the system without an invite.
I have spent quite an amount of time exploring it and checking theories, such as its Place 1 in my "pirate treasure map" or that there is a system (rouge planet maybe?) that can only be jumped to from this system.
No theories have come to any fruition so far
 
there are no trophies in-game for PC players. There are a load from EDSM but that's not pukka. Might be related to system permits, but there are about half a dozen apparently without a granting authority.

One of these is Witch’s Reach, that somebody mentioned recently. Just found 1.2 Wings changes (https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/patch-notes/1.2-wings) and spotted “Adding valuable salvage convoys to three permitted systems: LFT 509, Isinor, Witch's Reach” 😉

It was permit locked in FE:2 and FFE. The Sublime Order, previously known as the Guardians of the Free Spirit are a strict religious sect. They don't take kindly to strangers.

You can read about Captain Jupiter's adventures there, in this story: http://www.dream-ware.co.uk/frontie...on-the-frontier/on-the-wrong-side-of-the-law/

Lots of trouble for a cup of coffee. :coffee:

Had forgotten they live underground. Did you scan/map the planets for any poi?

No trouble’s too great to get a good cup of coffee!!!! ☕
(Though I prefer a mug! Shame FD stopped merchandising the original ED mug, mine’s got a few chips)
 
Just noticed in the NEW FD ingame store, they are selling a map for 100,000 arx. I think it was for Raxxla. I didn't have a lot of time to double check as my Deloren was double parked and the meter maid was heading toward it on her hoverboard.

Wont be able to recheck for a bit as the old flux capacitor needs another rebuild. (of course)

Where is it ? Can't see anything new being in deep space...
 
A thought I had just a moment ago about the possible prerequisites of a dark wheel invitation.

Has anyone achieved all the trophies/achievements in game yet? I'm sure they are the same across all the platforms. It would be useful to confirm this as I've know other games to use something like this. In gta5's story mode if you 100% all the goals you get Easter egg alien space ships around certain parts of the map at certain times.

It would certainly be a test of skill be and courage considering there are quite a few to achievements and it's not something that is usually known to be easy to do in games.

Thoughts?

Edit: nevermind. It seems there isn't really that many and looking at them they don't seem all that difficult. Bummer would've been nice though 😔
There is still one trophy that I think gives me hope
Consoles seem to have trophies / achievements, while the (primary) PC version STILL HAS NONE!

It's been speculated that collecting all the Tourist Beacons might work but not all have been found, yet.

[Edit: Ninja'd, but they didn't mention the Tourist Beacons...]

I've actually had a few pretty good CQC sessions when I first got elite like 2 years ago. But it was always with ColonelScouse and he's an amazing pilot and even better with fixed weapons. Even with a hotas I couldn't put a shot in his ship. A really friendly guy too

It is scientifically proven that it's impossible to not be depressed if you spend countless hours staring into a computer screen.
You Are Worth Far More Than That. You deserve the best that life has to offer and are fully capable of achieving not only your dreams, but happiness.
Your time is your life, so use it wisely before you have none left.
In the time I spent unravelling this I lost 4 friends, luckily no family.

One last thing before I go.
While Persephone is the Goddess of Grain,
Demeter is the Goddess of the Harvest and Pink Floyd's The Wall was released by Harvest Records on November 30 1979.

Why am I here, when I have ED shelved for months ?
Because I love this crazy thread !

Just remember to always wear the anti-space madness gear you were provided, pals !
Or don't !

EEK, NUUUUU! What are you doing, has the space madness gotten to you that badly!

Cmdr Lucky Luke Syndrome. I bet.
