New #EliteDangerous squadron created, chilled supportive casual vibe, named after what all Cmdr's secretly craves for: Landing Pad 42

This is new, we get to create this together, any ideas for ranks to create?

Alright who's up for joining a squadron?

I'm all for sharing the wealth, and supporting each other

Wonder if I can set up my own... with blackjack and hookers ๐Ÿ˜

I've talked myself out of jobs before, and relationships, admitted guilt to Police officers, as I don't have the ability to STFU

This is when it's a disorder

As one of my best mates use to tell me - brain, mouth, filter ๐Ÿฅด

I've some of their THC in the fridge, find it more effective than the Portuguese import, and cheaper

Haha I'm the same, love the idea, play through the intro, then on to something else

I found it like Assassin's Creed with cars, didn't get far into it, tried a couple of times

Awesome that we share a common emotion of finding beauty in a sunset โ™ฅ๏ธ

Not sure if it's an ancestral reaction to what's to occur... hopefully fortuitous ๐Ÿ˜

I don't mind the graphics, had a fun session this evening flying through canyons, searching for herbs, in VR.

The SCO and auto orbit have made inter solar system navigation heaps less time consuming too.

Trader was the first Elite I unlocked, before Explorer

Wow, playing since beta I've yet to do any mining ๐Ÿ˜

I'm currently on an ExoBio crusade, with the idea of saving enough for a carrier, then returning to the bubble

Kinda sad that I missed the Thargoid drama, but I was happy in my bit of the galaxy, doing my own thing

I might see if I can load up a PS5 save, just to have a blat about in the Clipper - can hear the boost now ๐Ÿ˜‚

I was so disappointed that it didn't launch on Linux, I bought a new PC to run on full settings in 2015.

Blows my mind that on my current machine I can now play on Linux with VR.

I did get to keep all of my currency, so only missing Clipper and Cutter... I really did like the Clipper though ๐Ÿ˜‚

He's so out of his depth. We deserve better than this side show distraction, trying to hide the CoC's sabotage of the NZ economy and environment

Awesome to see #EliteDangerous is still popular, over 11 years since release, and more free content planned for this year ๐Ÿ˜

Awesome, I migrated a save from PC to PS4, to PS5, then back to PC - along the way I lost my Elite progress, Solar system passes, Fed and Emp progression, and Engineering ๐Ÿ˜‚

I haven't unlocked the Emp ships again yet as I went for a sulk in deep space, and I'm not ready to face the bubble just yet ๐Ÿ˜œ

What's really cool is that your ships will be sat there, like the flight stick, waiting for you Cmdr o7

I worked for Heinz Wattie's for nearly 8 years, left after 3G took over, this is really sad news.

How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.
