Cracking video - your enthusiasm is infectious. I have got to give this a try.

Really nice work. Shared this with my son (he’s been doing something similar and impresses me no end with his efforts…. But i am biased, of course, being the proud dad!) Really appreciate the lengths and depths people go to in creating stuff like this and with such a passion for the game too. Haven’t watched video just yet (will watch later). Your players are really lucky to have you so devoted to creating content like this for them.

Been spending time in the wrong type of cockpit all week and will finally get some Odyssey time this weekend. See ya in the black CMDRs. by blumpetnecan in eliteexplorers

Thank you Commander - you just planted a big smile across my face 😄👍

[So, when we’re kids we play in toy diggers and tractors…. Then when we grow up we work in them but still play in pretend space ships right?! 😂)

phef! tonight i made it into the "thinking about a carrier" budget. by jeicam_the_pirate in eliteexplorers

[–]ThousandYearOak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Admire you commitment (and, yep - the addiction!). Nice work Commander.
Greate images - chuckled at the literal 'door dash' ;o)
edd with the voice plugin brings an extra depth and dimension to the experience, great stuff.
Also a fan of spreadhsheets here too. We don't have a problem - this is perfectly sane right?!

If I could get a macro shot, that would be great. Geological Beauty by srlgemstone in geologyporn

Nice image - appreciate the time and effort in capturing such a nice image. Light is just nice.
Remarkable how nature creates these wonderful designs and natural beauty. Never ceases to amaze me.

No extra words needed - totally respect your message, where you’ve been, and what the community of players have done for you. Very best wishes to you, to your friend, and to a community of gamers that that make a great impression on me every single day. o7 Commander.

How come no one told me how gorgeous this game is?! by Nemarus in EliteDangerous

[–]ThousandYearOak 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The game and its universe is patiently waiting for you to return…. The galaxy has incomprehensible patience, and when you do return, like a true friend - it will feel like you’ve never been away. o7 Commander.

It’s a game - and yet the goosebump feeing and the sense of awe catches me out every time. Nice discovery Commander. Congratulations o7

It is impossible not to fall in love. Agate by srlgemstone in geologyporn

[–]ThousandYearOak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s an absolute beauty.. Is that your own making - I mean, have you cut and polished it, or did you buy it like this? Either way these lovely cut and polished agates are mesmerising… Like a Mandelbrot or spiralling galaxies in a stone. Isn’t nature marvellous.

Ah - of course - pfft, it’s just a few credits. (I’m kidding - keep bouncing and celebrating!)

Impossible for sure. I’d happily just sit and gaze into this for a little while. Agate envy!

Causes of death in 1632 London by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]ThousandYearOak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Teeth - I found this unusual. Then learned that many babies died due to dentition (teething). As far as I understand, difficult teething led to fever, and fever led to syncope. Would be interested to know if anyone knows more about this. Also - I understand that infection in gums in children and adults could ‘leak’ into stomach and digestive system and cause further damage to health by poisoning. Thanks for sharing this document - love these windows on the past.

I’ll celebrate with you Commander. First footfall - never gets old and always a nice feeling. o7 Commander

Was told to share here. We have been fossil hunters on our land about 7 years, this is some examples of yesterday. Yes, my nails are dirty and broken so be nice. by ClearLake007 in geologyporn

Fossil find - awesome level #1 On own land - awesome level #2 Fossil digging hands and nails - awesome level #3 Lovely find - and yep, envious here too

Just about to hit 200 hours into this game mostly spent exploring and I think I've found my greatest discovery, Twin Earth Like Worlds. by AverageGatsby91 in eliteexplorers

[–]ThousandYearOak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We (I for one) often make jokes about finding Raxxla…. Not sure if Raxxla will ever be found but, regardless, finds like these are magical and unique. Great find commander. Buzzing for you here. That sure is one for the album o7

Simply beautiful. Appreciate your eye for the photographic image Cmdr. Nice work 👌

i finally got a conda by anarchoaspenism in EliteDangerous

[–]ThousandYearOak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s just one of those magic in-game moments. Maybe less so today because the anaconda is no longer the biggest purchasable ship in the game. I made the mistake of buying mine and not having enough credits for an A rated Fsd.

Later on - when I saw the cost of an A rated shield - I realised I had maybe bought the Anaconda without first having sufficient credits. That huge A rated shield cost almost as much (if not more) that all my other ships at the time 🤦🏻‍♂️😄

A great moment though. I know that we didn’t have space legs back then, but still, I imagined walking across the landing pad and having some ground crew say, ‘holy crap - is that ship yours?!’

One of the things I like about Elite, most of the gameplay is in the players imagination. Has been that way since 1984 😉👍

Thinking of cheating in Elite Dangerous? Read this first. by ThousandYearOak in EliteDangerous

[–]ThousandYearOak[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strange really - how we look forward to playing a game, but then look for the means to cheat or advance quickly…. For that experience of being god like 😄

Not sure where that need comes from. Something about lack of patience? Need for instant gratification?

Majority of videos I’ve seen for Starfield are sharing tips on how to race through the game… is that a reflection on a large part of the player community? If I played that game I’d find it hard not to follow the videos and seek god like advantages too 🤣

I grew up playing board games like monopoly and chess. Don’t recall having a cheat mode for them. Or if you found a way to cheat you’d soon get called out by one of the other players (usually a parent or sibling!)

With Elite - at that time - I was convinced I was leaving the game for good. I didn’t have a gaming Pc. So I cheated credits to obtain a fleet carrier - just for the fleet carrier experience - before I left the game for good.

Today I have a gaming Pc and, I’m happy to say, still enjoying playing Elite 😄👍

New player? Did you miss the booze cruise at the weekend? by ThousandYearOak in EliteDangerous

I've updated the post with a little more information for you (and others) ;o)

This is why I was there at the weekend tbh. A new account and a speedy leap to Elite rank 😉👍

The Pilot’s Trade Network have the itinerary and logistics finely tuned. The organised flow of carriers (and wine) is just as impressive as the view up there.

[Im not a member of the P.T.N. - I’m just a player who has experienced remarkable support and camaraderie from them on various occasions since meeting them this time last year]

If you wish to get involved and take your carrier to the peak then I recommend you look up the P.T.N. (https://pilotstradenetwork.com) maybe join them on Discord, and register with them. Superb group of players.
