#elitedangerous #DrakhyrRally Two days until the Drakhyr rally. This practice run was going great until I hit an unexpectedly large kicker 1km from the tunnel entrance finish line doing over 300 mph and cleared the entire city in a single bounce! 🤣

#elitedangerous Just 3 days to go until the Drakhyr rally and a good moment to highlight Project Simstarr who will be both competing in and streaming the event ... and feeling every bump along the way!

Legend has it that someone saw a giant hole in the ground and thought: "You know what this needs? A CITY!" Today we're visiting HIP 16548 to check out the amazing Ghost Giraffe Tourist Hub, a city in the mountains! youtu.be/GPq9rX_Yf3w #EliteDangerous #EDExplorers @alecturner.bsky.social

#elitedangerous #stellarscreenshots Today's additions to my "colonisation guide" include a tourist settlement with a powerful geyser right on its edge plus this Ocellus orbiting the coldest magnetic white dwarf known to present day astronomers.

#elitedangerous There's a saying in the racing community that if all your practice runs are terrible then you'll have an excellent run on the day ... and vice versa. I think I just blew my chances for Sunday! 😆

✨It was the Type 11 Prospector! A medium mining ship with it's own unique tool!
🚀What are your initial thoughts?
🪐Do you think you will buy one?
🎙️We'll discuss your answers on Tuesday!
#elitedangerous #stellarscreenshots Saw this on yesterday's Ghost Giraffe livestream. Oh my god! That's gone straight on my guide to interesting colonisation places!

@frontierdev.bsky.social #elitedangerous Only 11 days to go now until the Drakhyr Rally! Here's one of my better full practice runs even if ... well, you'll see! Don't worry, it WILL be light for the race. See video description for more information.

A fantastic piece of writing from Homborger which goes way beyond mere Buckyball Racing, covering the incalculable value of what @specialeffect.org.uk do plus some devastating news that's torn at the heart of the racing club this week. A difficult but important read. 💜

The teaser Frontier posted on Friday, it depicts asteroids and some kind of ship behind it.
⁉️QOTW
✨Frontier posted this teaser on Friday and we're obsessed!
🪨What do you think that could be behind the rocks?
🚀What is it called?!
🎙️We'll discuss your answers on Tuesday!
Great name! And we both went for the same name plate style too (I had to buy it, never realised how many name plates there were or how few of them I own).

A new episode of your fantastic podcast is always a real treat and this was a big one ... what an extraordinary film! You kinda touched on it but for me one of the things that always seems really significant is the way Deckard doesn't care if the dog is real or not, I love that. Great show guys!

The show title is actually "The Girth Is Fine, The Length I’d Prefer More Of" ... but if you want to rub your nose in it as well then that's entirely up to you. Enjoy!

#elitedangerous #DrakhyrRally Attention Drakhyr Rally drivers, lesson 4 in my series of SRV driving tutorials is now up. In this one we turn our attention to climbing mountains.

🚀IT'S SO CLOSE TO PANTHER CLIPPER TIME!
✨Have you had the chance to see it in action via the Partner Program's early access?
🪐What do you think? Has it made you more or less tempted to pick one up for Arx?
🎙️We'll discuss your answers on Tuesday!
Used to go to an underground art nightclub thing in London (Shunt). Was drawing on the inside of a tent, woman outside was like "what the fuck's he doing in there, he's been ages". Turned out to be Jessica Stevenson/Hynes (Spaced) who we spent the next hour drinking with.

#elitedangerous It's the one you've been waiting for Cmdrs! In this video we drop a Panther Clipper down the side of a massive crater to answer a simple question - what falls fastest? 50 tons of Biowaste or 400 tons of Panther Clipper?

That’d be cool … but no.
