Do they sell elephants?

Hopefully a new rare commodity - only available in 5t containers (it would be churlish to transport one in chunks....

).

The game is chokfull of stations named after famous people, George Lucas in Leesti comes to mind. The Nimoy station orbiting Vulcan is also a thing. There are likely loads of them in there, not to mention the hordes of NPCs with names paying tribute to one thing or another.

There's also Beagle 2 Landing in Asellus Primus, which was named in honour of Colin Pillinger: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colin_Pillinger

As long as things are named after relevant people (ie, something to do with space exploration or sci-fi, not Beyonce Dock, or Queen Mum Station or rubbish like that) I see absolutely no harm in it at all.

It's in HIP 74290.

Please please please tell me we will be able to buy a new Rare Goods item there, e.g. Dwarf Bread (other suggestions welcome!)

- Target leads for projectile weapons missing in any other firegroup than 1 fixed

Was this bug only with setting to LEADING or also with set to TRAILING?

Just asking because either I was affected by this bug without realizing it or I was just too stupid to use it when trying out C4 PA in firegroup > 1.

If they don't I can sell you high-quality ones for 10% cheaper...and that's cutting my own throat.

Liance · Mar 18, 2015

Yes! The System Map issue was driving me crazy, thank you!

I'd love an update on this too

Original post for those curious : https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=125228&p=1935920&viewfull=1#post1935920

A fix was put out for this where we manually adjusted people's progress to make sure they weren't at a disadvantage if this change affected them. It was deployed shortly after my reply... sorry I didn't update you on it sooner!

Any news on fixes to speed problems when approaching stations, causing it to approach too fast and overshoot even at only 75% throttle since leaving the last station?

Aymifa - Polya Colliseum to Lemonsov Colony. Happens 99% of the time for me just as I approach Lemonsov Colony, it suddenly starts to speed up. It's getting really annoying.

You can't arbitrarily out of the blue add a starport in tribute to someone, as noble as the gesture may be, without risking upsetting some people for not adding a starport named after other famous people.

I suppose you can if they are all related to the Sci Fi World - there aren't that many who pass away.

- System Map now opens on correct star system

Didn't see a fix for the galaxy map when moving the pointer to the pop-up, in order to plot a route, etc...

Nice work though

Alien said:
While I approve of this, I think it sets a dangerous (pun intended) precedent for people to "request" in-game tributes for famous people who are no longer with us. Is there a starport named after Leonard Nimoy? Robin Williams? The crew of the Challenger Shuttle? You can't arbitrarily out of the blue add a starport in tribute to someone, as noble as the gesture may be, without risking upsetting some people for not adding a starport named after other famous people.

Wel, why not? The galaxy in Elite is big, very big..

I had the line all set up, and you stole it
