This week in #EliteDangerous .

Vanguards is live! Join the ranks, discover squadrons to join, fight side-by-side, pool resources, and explore the galaxy together.

Play your way.

Thanks to all the members of the team that made this come together.

Ask not mow much you can break your fast, but how much the fast can break you.

Feeling hungry this morning.
Our cats have weird breakfast habits. But they don't get coffee with theirs. :)

My problem with rogue one was it could have been replaced by three paragraphs of yellow text scrolling up a starfield background before Darth Vaders star destroyer captured Tantive IV in search of the stolen plans.

And obligatory album link I guess.

UNLIMITED TRIANGLES

This week in #elitedangerous.
I'd only just found enough triangles for my Type-8! now I really have to up my game.

Those of you who already know me as a Lakon pilot will have no surprise at my excitement over the new T11.
Work starts on porting the new ship soooon.

Wait how fast does light go in a leap year?

Keep up the good work, commanders. Follow the greens on the way out and don't get that big ole hull caught in the toast rack. o7.

On panther day I was privileged to be the lone watcher of an unrecognised streamer for a while and the personal impact of that cannot be understated. Although unable to interact as anything other than a fan, vicariously living the excitement i felt flying the ship thirty years ago.

It seems embarrassingly self serving to talk about #elitedangerous on social media these days.
I soak up the good - and the bad - from the community and let the voices of many in to my own piloting experience. I've never stopped being a fan, and many thanks to the community of players I'm a part of.

Spent a grand moment with twitch open watching a few #elitedangerous streams today. I always catch a mix of partner and non partner channels.

Launch day is always exciting, but this was something else.

From humble origins to the beast it is today, it's a pleasure to say the Panther has landed. O7

Three different chicken, smoked salmon, bread, babaganoosh.

Someone stole my seat!
This cutie is enjoying the night air with us.

It's been a hella week. So proud of our little space game, and the rewarding efforts of a dedicated team pulling together. A comfortable seat, a pleasant tipple, and living my best life. Looking forward to brunch and bbq tomorrow!

We adopted lil Xena and her orange brother Gizmo at the end of last year after a litter of seven was found in a shed near here. They still use the original carrier as a bed, although they used to both fit in there with room to spare!
I just need to explain that breakfast isn't served until eight...

We make the game, and there is a really focused team putting their all into this, but the community make the game what it is. o7 commanders. Second star to the right.

After being a fan of the series for many decades, it was a privilege to join the leadership team after Odyssey, helping charter our course through the stars. Our recent financial report joins my own flight experience and the swell of community support, all as forces that guide me in my role.

Reflecting back on the past year of #EliteDangerous, enjoying coffee and croissant in a cafe with some great people. A little moment of calm, proud of the road we have taken and optimistic about the journey we have yet to take.

Congratulations.
I have some understanding of the challenge and effort required here and I look on with respect.

Hull?! Well, you bought this on yourself.
Skip the quacks and call Ghostbusters! You probably got possessed!

I returned to work a day too early and croaked through the day. I wasn't as effective as a well person, and probably elongated my lurgy.
But everyone saw that I was trying to contribute so my vanity and ego feel better.

If you can get value from it, got for it. But look after yourself.

They say to study history or find yourself repeating it.

Amy has knocked it out of the park and into orbit with this incredible documentary about the history of spaceflight.
Look to the future by understanding the past. Enjoy!

Favourite store is STA indirect Y.
Love being able to offset the write address with the Y register.

Coffees and Croissants Ahoy! chilling out at programming brunch while my brain ties itself in knots with dynamic multicast delegate bindings.

I have never advocated lambdas over a garbage collected command pattern so hard. Maybe I should have gone for mimosas instead of coffee after all!

Now. This gives me an idea.

Lil Xena just had her first nom of #sushi and this #cat is now hooked!

OK, yes I have a bias. but dang that is such a good mining vibe. May your limpets never run out!

I'd forgot just how much I really love this. It hits me spot on.

After much experimentation, and in the name of science, I've managed to exactly replicate office coffee using a home setup.
And can use my data to recalibrate the office machine to produce a passable drink.
Grind size was the linchpin, but mass and ratio also have to be exactly wrong.

The triangle count on this minimal Lakon Forklift is budget breaking and there is so much detail missing. At least the blue-white supergiant looks passable.

This 2Mhz 6502 is backed by an enhanced maths co-processor to calculate filled geometry.

That's nuts. Our little gizmo now eats under supervision and has to get herded away from excess food to prevent him turning into a chonkosaurus.
I don't think he is smart enough to heist from such a clever device.
