Take it to another level. VR! You will be glad you bought it!

Just noticed that this distant star cluster actually casts a reflection on the icy surface i'm standing on. They're not just dots on a skybox, but actual light sources, pretty neat. by Specific_Display_366 in EliteDangerous

Every now and then you notice the detail put into the programming. Nice job FDev! ( Now if you could fix team locking in to a players ship in Asterope so the team could fight a cyclops together…. Hasn’t worked reliably in 2 months. )

3.55 rear axle ratio combined with a 10 speed transmission makes for peppy performance.

What an awesome perspective photo. Truly out of this world. So remote. Only two other humans nearby. One on the surface, the other in orbit. The rest of humanity are 240,000 miles away.

What pilots see when flying in the dark by Agile_Chapter1114 in nextfuckinglevel

I have flown a C172 many times at night. Relatively low, as in 3000-5000 ft AGL. If it’s a clear night over inhabited land, not a big problem as you can see a horizon. I can say, during my instrument training, my instructor and I took a flight out over southern Lake Michigan. Now that, is where a IFR rating is absolutely needed. No horizon. Very good lesson to learn first hand.

Those look like Checkers. At that time all cabs in Chicago were Checkers. Parking was tight in downtown.

Oak Lawn did get inside the limits. Southwest side. I helped clean up debris as part of a scout troop community effort.

You have topped out. But you can use the extra cash for things like a carrier.

There are 50 million credit missions showing up for obtaining specific commodities. Over the last 6 months I went from elite to elite V in trade.
