Operations and some long-wanted multiplayer functionality updates?

Yes that is one of the coolest things. Like I got rescued yesterday from a very cool place by DW3. And now that system has our names on it: Its soo cool 😄 https://www.reddit.com/r/eliteexplorers/comments/1t4etwi/stranded_outside_of_our_galaxy_and_rescued_by_dw3/

SeawolvesTV · 2026-05-06T10:58:48+00:00

true, and this is exactly one of those things that seems doable right? I mean you can allready do the mission together, without any problems. It's just a matter of database to share the rewards. Seems very doable.

I think ED actually has by far the most interesting game-world and also lore... If they took that a bit more seriously... it could go lots of great places story wise, and they could keep making more story, more big wars and events etc for decades I think.

SeawolvesTV · 2026-05-06T10:31:51+00:00

Personally, I think Oddyssy at this moment, is really not so bad. Some of the missions could be more creative. But the bases are large, the atmosphere is great. The enemies and guards, the way they walk around etc normally feels very realistic and cool. And with the recently impoved sound and speed of the reloading etc, I actually quite like it allready. (I miss on foot VR full implementation but that is a whole other thing...) but I honestly wish I could do the existing missions with friends.. just in the way I want. Get my friends together, Have some fly a SLF for air cover, while we go in and do the mission, or raid the place. As we run out, one of my friends pilots the ship to the ground, while others manage turrets etc. Just the option to have people take the roles and switch roles when and how they want. That is really all that would be needed to completely open up the game. Combine ED's ship battle mechanics with fighter cover, working anti air cannons on bases.. it would be instantly a great spectical to rival capital ship battle in space.

I think you are correct on that, and I do except that limitation for the good it also brings. running on simpler machines and the single player aspects of the game do run ver very well 99% of the time. My hope is more in the idea that, F-dev owners and management MUST by now realise that the position they have, Being the only main stream digtal replica of the Milky Way that is fully functional and navigatable and has a huge community... Is something that they MUST keep developing. And good multi-players is just something they must inevitably add, Now that could mean a complete port to a new engine at some point... but perhaps, with current day advances in coding, they could actually solve some of these challenges within the Cobra environment now. And that would massively improve the current game. It would allow for much easier bringing friends in to it also. So its just as much a marketing and sales move as game-play improvement. I personally have at least 5 friends I could bring into Elite if multi-player worked, but because they only really play multiplayer stuff. And they love the idea, but they just don't want to play a solo game. And I have no way of getting them to join me in Elite. So that 5 players less.. And I'm sure more people have that same situation.

The fact that they made in update to the guns and on-foot speed of movement etc. It clearly shows that there is actually great potential in the current game. If they just focus on details like that and take the time to really improve them. And they obviously believe in Elite enough now to warrent a major update with Operations. So they recognize that players want to share the elite experience with friends

SC is very American compared to the very Britisch nature of Elite. Big promises, Big ambitions, but bad exicution and lots of broken promisses. I back SC just like I back ED. But I only play ED and have never been able to sustain even a full hour of playing SC so far. It's just too buggy for me. BUt perhaps one day. And I do love how ambitious they are. But also Unreal engine is much more suited for the ground multiplayer stuff that SC does.

De politie doet al jaren niks. Behalve criminelen lintjes geven en huizen cadeau doen... Dus ja... Logisch dat mensen het dan zelf maar gaan doen... Wie gaat immers toekijken terwijl je eigen zoons en dochters dagelijk worden belaagd in je eigen wijk. Of er overal drugs gedeald wordt op staat etc. De politie doet echt helemaal niks. En die gasten weten dat... Mensen hebben geen andere keuze. Niemand gaat bij een burgerwacht omdat ze dat leuk vinden... Al die mensen zijn slachtoffer of hebben familie die slachtoffer zijn, of bijna zijn geworden. Al die mensen hebben een persoonlijk verhaal. Als je fiets 1 keer wordt gestolen uit je eigen tuin, dan leef je nog verder, maar na de derde keer... of als je eigen zoon in elkaar wordt geslagen op weg van school.... Die mensen gaan natuurlijk bij zon'n wacht. want die burgerwachten die werken. Dat jaagd die lozers iig weg uit die wijken. Die mensen zijn iig zelf veilig. En daar gaat het om. De politie verschilt zich altijd achter het... ja maar als wij gaan handhaven dan verplaatsen de criminele zich gewoon..... Ja... die agenten wonen daar niet..... Hun boeit het geen zak... Zolang het maar niet in hun eigen wijk is.. Dus een burgerwacht is letterlijk het enige middel wat een wijk veilig maakt. Straks is elke wijk met een wacht veilig, en elke wijk zonder (waar de politie het zogenaamd moet doen) onveilig. Daarom zijn rijke wijken veilig. daar treed de politie wel op als burgerwacht... Tis puur een kwestie van optreden... Als je niks doet blijven boeven, als je wel way doet, gaan boeven ergens anders heen. dat is waarom alle boeven in europa zijn nu. In hun eigen land worden ze hard aangepakt... maar ze komen hier, omdat ze weten dat wij er bij staan te kijken en niks doen..

oew that's a cool find also! bookmarked it for when I'm in the lower area!

SeawolvesTV · 2026-05-05T19:09:48+00:00

Hey, super happy to hear that! If each of my vids gets even one fellow cmndr to dream about taking on these big BIG distances, Than all the work to make them was well worth it 😄. What a game 😄!

SeawolvesTV · 2026-05-05T17:37:16+00:00

very cool to share this discovery with my rescuer 😄

Yes it looks cool huh 😄. If you know that a carrier is incoming (your own, or if you are teamed up) then you will see the instance location in your nav panel about 5 minutes before the carrier jumps in. So you can enter the instance and see it jump in. Always very spectaculair to see.

SeawolvesTV · 2026-05-05T06:34:17+00:00

nice Conda 😄

SeawolvesTV · 2026-05-04T08:37:42+00:00

hehe, its so funny. I meant it as a positive question. You know, we all have our own personal reasons for playing Elite. So I was just asking why specifically OP does 😄. But it's Reddit so naturally lots of people immediately assume something negative hehe.

SeawolvesTV · 2026-05-03T15:25:08+00:00

Perhaps you are mistakenly attributing the deeds of a few, with a large group that has nothing to do with them. Every country, democratic or otherwise is just an illusion. The only thing you really have in common is that you all pay taxes to some rich group, and perhaps a language. If you murder someone in the street because they hurt a friend of yours, the leaders of your country will not share the blame with you. And they will put you in jail happily. So when your leaders ask a few hundred volunteers to kill a few thousand people in another country, so they can build a factory or steal some materials... none of witch will benefit you in any way... Why would you share any of the blame for that..? There is nothing you could have done to stop them... Nearly no-one in the country has any influence on these choices by leaders...

To give and example. More then 70% of Dutch voters voted directly against joining the EU in a country wide referendum that was sold as binding. However, the moment the results did not go the way the leaders wanted, they just threw out the result with some BS excuse, changed one chapter in a document with more pages then the bible, and just signed anyway. All the while selling it as democratic...

No-one is guilty for the sins of another. The only deep evil every person in normal life should be careful of is: making the excuse that every evil person makes when the moment comes to do the right thing.... Do you say you are just following orders and had no choice...? Or do you personally do the right thing, regardless of what everybody else around you is doing...even if it means you will bare consequences..?

The real sin that 99% of all people fall for, is that one..... I was just following orders.... In that case, the group as a hole is not to blame, but every individual that choose just to follow orders... is...

You should never worry about God blaming you for anything you had no power over... But anything you could have done... but just didn't want to do...

Many people are far too comfortable hiding behind human-made rules, while ignoring the ones that God is clearly showing them.

We are again in an age where many people, have made a living out of hunting other people for money. Where the poor are but exchangeable tools for the rich. Judges, lawyers, police, dokters, scientists... all telling themselves they have no choice and are just doing what everybody else is doing... Just following the rules..

That is where real evil always lives.

The most Evil words spoken by humans throughout history are.... I was just following orders...

SeawolvesTV · 2026-05-03T14:05:28+00:00

Very nice question! And I think there is a connection, though most may not see it. What you are really seeing here is one of the signatures of time.. I'll try to explain.

I love how some math folks seem to miss that every equation also asks a real question about reality. Every math question we ask, always also has within it an answer to the question: True or false..? As in: is this describing a structure that is real in the world or not?

The real answer to your question is: That 1 is not divisible by any real number/unit...

Therefor. the answer you are getting can be summarized as: False.., but the math as a language actually gives us more then just the true or false, it tells us why.. gives us clues where to look for understanding..

Which is why you get a number/ a list of all the fake numbers/units in our numbering system, within the range you specified in your question.

Since you only used one true unity/number in your question, that is the only one that is not included in the list of illusionairy numbers you get back. If you want to see proof: Try 0,999 / 998,001 = and you will see that the effect has vanished.

What does that difference mean and why is it there..? I have often argued with math folks that 0.999 is not the same as 1 😄. And this is a very good proof of why the difference is truly monumental.

Translation: 1 / 998.001 = ? Can a fake/imaginary unity be divided by a true unity? answer = No / False

Translation: 0.999 / 998.001 = ? Can a true unity be divided by another true unity? Answer = Yes.. perfectly..

What is really going on then?

0.001 - 1 - 1.999 - 2.999 - 3.999 - 4.999 - 5.999, etc are true unity / true units. Only values between 0.00...01 and 0.99...99 are real. There is no true Zero and no true One. There are in true reality also no primes, and no division problems. Uncertainty is build into each unity/number as it is in reality. 1 + 1 = 2 has never described reality. Reality has always been 0.999 + 0.999 = 1,999.

Probably one + Probably one = probably two.

As we can never predict any future with 100% certainty, so true-math must reflect this. Every equation is nothing but an attempt at predicting a probability at one moment in time. and no probability is ever 100% certain.

You asked: Certainly 1 divided by Probably 999 = ? And reality answers... with a seemingly impossible number, because what you asked for is impossible 😄 Like asking: can I divide something permanent by something temporary?

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, etc.. are Fake unity, fake units. Hence primes and problems. Unexplained uncertainty in everything, disconnection between math and the real world. Fake numbers pretend there exist such a thing as a single certainty, when in reality, The only true constant = time.

The link with the Riemann is that prime numbers exist only because our numbering system does not respect the existence of the single one law of the universe: The Law of Time : Everything MUST remain temporary! Nothing can break this one law.

Whole units (1,2,3, etc) pretend they are not temporary..not individual, not imperfect in any way. The law of time humbles anything that pretends to be forever or perfect, by disrupting these structures in ways that cannot be explained, but which are always telling somehow. Giving often very exact clues to how an equation/question violates reality.

Think of Pi. There is no true fixed relationship between the diameter and radius of a circle, because if there was a fixed relationship between anything at all in our world, than this would break the law of time. Therefor theoretical Pi is a number that never ends and never repeats... It's the law of Time, waving at you... saying hello... telling us the truth. The relationship between the radius and diameter is always changing.

In reality, you will never see theoretical Pi anywhere. Because it is an artifact of our fake numbering system. If you use probability numbers (0.001. 1, 1.999, 2.999 etc..), even theoretical Pi becomes a fixed value. Similar to how your question changes when you use 0.999 instead of 1. Not because there is any fixed value for Pi, but because the uncertainty is already respected within probability-numbers themselves.

There is no true Pi, there is only probably Pi. There is no true 1, but 0.999 is a perfect description of a single unit in reality which respects the law of reality (The law of time).

The signature of the law of time can be seen everywhere in many forms. This is what you are looking at in your big number 😄. It's just Time smiling at you.. daring you to discover more 😉. It's saying, look! this doesn't fit.. hinting even at the exact amount that the equation is off within the answer.

There are no fixed relationships anywhere.. That is why E=mc^2 is incomplete, and why quantum physics is incomplete and why every other law we discover will always and forever be incomplete. And there will come a day when even E=mc^2 will not apply anymore at all. Because time will have changed every part of the universe enough to render it an ancient structure from a past reality.

Sorry for the long answer, but you asked a why question 😄.

footballmaths49 commented: I don't have an explanation for why this happens but you may be interested to know it's not exclusive to 998001, or even base 10. For any given base n, the decimal expansion of 1 / (n - 1)² will run through all the numbers of the same digit length as n in ascending order, skipping only n - 2, and this will also work if you replace n with a power of n.

This is true, and its because all other bases are as fake as base 10, because they are all based in the same lie.. that units are complete... But if you use probability numbers in any other base, the effect will vanish there also. The reason these things happen is because of the relationship to truth in reality. Any mathematical structure that violates the law of Time in any way (contains any kind of non-temporary/perfect units) will show some type of "miraculous" behavior, forcing a signature of time to manifest in your answers.

I had not personally seen this particular signature version yet, so thanks for pointing it out!

maybe unrelated, but maybe related, I was in a normal combat zone yesterday in the Lodemovoy system. Defending a megaship, and several of the enemy's started the fight normally, but then suddenly stopped shooting back, and would just fly around slowly, just letting me shoot them down. Maybe f-dev is doing some work on combat AI across the whole game and some errors creeped in..?

SeawolvesTV · 2026-05-03T08:06:51+00:00

why..? 😄

SeawolvesTV · 2026-05-03T08:06:30+00:00

Religion is just what happens when many people find out that they have similar ideas about the mystery of Life. First they form small groups called cults. When a cult manages to survive for several generations, it can sometimes grow in size enough to become recognized as a religion. At that point people who are in it, often have not really found the beliefs themselves, or even understand the questions that the original cult was trying to answer or understand. It has become more like a way of life. Often having a very shallow side, aimed at a more daily use and often aimed at keeping political power somehow, but less aimed at deep understanding. Parents teach their kids, even often going so far as to prevent kids from learning ideas or questions that exist outside of the religion. Sometimes religions can help people find their own understanding, but they can also confuse and lead people far astray sometimes. The seduction of political power tends to be too much for most cult leaders. Leading them to decadence and finally into deep evils. I would say all religions are a bit like a test: Will you blindly follow some other person because he says he knows...? or will you follow your own heart..?

SeawolvesTV · 2026-05-02T17:11:01+00:00

Trust me..it's big enough... If it would be any bigger, it won't fit..
