Discovery Scanner - 14/11/2022

Greetings Commanders.

We have now just about reached the middle of the month of November. Things really are boosting along quite rapidly now.
We hope you had great weekend just passed!

Let’s reflect a little but then look on to another week setting forth into the Galaxy.

Galnet Headline Spotlight

Professor Alba Tesreau, Professor Ishmael Palin and Ram Tah have released a joint statement regarding the alien sound heard at HIP 22460.

An excerpt reads:
“What was audible to humans was only part of a complex multi-frequency transmission, amplified by the energy surging through the Thargoid surface site which housed the Proteus Wave weapon. Its specifics remain indecipherable for the moment, but certain aspects were isolated with the aid of Ms Seo, whose unique neural implants were designed to interface with Thargoid technology.”

We’re really invested in all of the conversations around this latest discovery with Commanders right now, so do continue to share your thoughts via the Forum and social media.

Start: 12/11/2022 | 00:00 AM UTC
End: 20/11/2022 | 11:59 PM UTC
Location Start / Finish: Aura, Atkov Ring

The Buckyball Racing Club are back and we’re as ready as ever for this next event in the calendar!

Details:
Did you ever have a moment when out exploring or when trading or running missions or otherwise travelling from one system to another only to get a rude awakening by almost crashing into one of the stars in the system you jumped into?
Maybe you even passed through its atmosphere and scooped a bit of fuel! 

This can happen for very tight binary systems depending on your angle of approach, but tight triples can leave you cooking in between multiple stars. 

There are not many in the Bubble, but you'll meet a handful here and hopefully live to tell the tale. 'This is The Trouble With Triples'.
There are two classes for this race:

  • Regulation Diamondback Scout. This is a standard ship and loadout with no engineering, so every pilot flies the same ship. The cost is a little under 4 MCr but you may be able to find discounts for the ship and modules. It has a maximum jump range of 29.01 LY on fumes.
  • Unlimited. The only restrictions on loadout here are not using supercruise assist or docking computers (see below for full restrictions).

For full information and discussion, view this event over in the official Elite Dangerous forum.

This event is already underway, BUT we’re sure the club would still love to hear from you if you’re interested!
