Thargoids and factoids: share a fun Elite Dangerous fact!

Posted by Alex Sinclair in Elite Dangerous

Elite Dangerous has been around for a decade, and games don't exist for that long without plenty of interesting things happening. So whether your submission is trivia about the game itself, an easter egg hidden in the lore, or a behind-the-scenes factoid about the game's development, share it below to snag a dollar. The most interesting fact will win $5!

If you have more than one fact, by all means share them all, although it's only one prize per person. There's no minimum word count for this bounty. If you have a source for your fact, share that too. If you're looking for inspiration, check out these EVE Online facts.

If you recall your ship on a planet, but it's too hilly to land on the planet (mostly due to the ship's size) it will not land, but instead it will hover close to the ground still allowing you to board it with your SRV.

You cannot take a High Resolution screenshot using Alt + F10 whilst playing in Open Play unlike in Private Group and Solo mode. In Open Play you can only take a Standard Resolution screenshot with F10.
Many are already aware of this however most do not know the reason why...
The reason for this is because as the 16 mini captures are curated for the High Rez image it has a time slowing effect on the Commander taking the capture and was found to be used for unfair advantage by player in PvP battles in the early days of Elite Dangerous. So the option has removed as an option from the Open Play Mode ever since

My favorite is the fact humanity first had a proprietary fuel for Faster-than-light travel but the formula was lost forever and set back humanity hundreds of years. Then thanks to thargoid research, we stole their technology to create hyperspace jumping. Which is what set off the latest and rapid expansion of humanity.
