.Pilots Federation ALERT. Parallel campaigns in the Empire and the Federation to provide commodities for building new capital ships have ended. The Federal Navy’s construction programme was boosted by deliveries of building fabricators, microbial furnaces and energy grid assemblies. Elite received very positive reviews on its launch and the BBC Micro version eventually sold 107,898 copies. The game's popularity became a national phenomenon in the UK, with reports airing on Channel 4 and elsewhere. Elite was Firebird's best-selling Commodore game as of late 1987.
EDDB welcomes all new players to Elite: Dangerous! 22-11-20
The Epic Store giveaway draws many new players to the game and I welcome all of you to take part in this epic space adventure! To make it easier understand EDDB here are some FAQs for starters:
What is EDDB?
EDDB is a website which tries to act as a database of all the data available in the game. In general EDDB tries to help finding stuff which players are looking for.
Where does the data on EDDB come from?
The data which can be found on EDDB is 100% community generated. There is no regular data dump from Frontier. Systems, stations, commodity prices, outfitting or shipyard information - all this information is 100% coming from the actual player base.
How can you help keeping the data on EDDB up to date?
Elite Dangerous Galactic Mapping Project Website
Short answer: Use a program like EDMC while playing the game, and everytime you visit a system or a station, EDDB is being updated with the latest data.
Long answer: Not only EDDB but most of the Elite community websites are connected to a realtime data network called EDDN. The basic idea is that players use an EDDN client while playing the game and for instance if the player docks on a station, the latest station information is being transmitted to the EDDN network. Every website which supports EDDN gets those updates immediately. There are many client programs, offering different kinds of functionality. However, one simple to use client is EDMC, so I recommend this one for starters.
Elite Dangerous Galactic Mapping Project Ideas
Commodities are requested to create new settlements for Marlinist refugees who fled from the Empire to the Federation.
Sirius Corporation has offered to resolve the current standoff between superpowers by establishing colonies where the refugees can live independently.
Li Yong-Rui, CEO of Sirius Corporation, summarised his proposal:
'It is clear that the Marlinists cannot return to the Empire, and are a destabilising presence within the Federation. We offer an alternative by constructing permanent habitats for their population. These will be self-governed and may freely trade with the galactic community.'
'Sirius cannot stand by while the risk of interstellar war increases. I sincerely hope this leads to a more stable and profitable period for us all.'
Traders are asked to deliver Atmospheric Processors, Auto-Fabricators, Structural Regulators and Water Purifiers to Ellis Gateway in the Bd+05 1146 system. From there, the Omega Merchant Command will distribute resources for the colonisation of up to ten uninhabited systems which will be ready in early 3307.
Each completed tier will provide the resources to populate two systems, listed in order of priority:
HIP 22550 and Hyades Sector RO-P b6-6.
LP 659-31 and Hyades Sector LX-T c3-30.
Hyades Sector SU-C a14-1 and Hyades Sector RO-P b6-2.
Hyades Sector VP-N b7-4 and Hyades Sector AB-M b8-2.
Hyades Sector YA-M b8-1 and Hyades Sector TJ-P b6-6.
The initiative begins on the 10th of December 3306 and will run for one week. If the final target is met earlier than planned, the campaign will end immediately.
