Tell us about the most impressive things Elite players have ever done!

Posted by Alex Sinclair in Elite Dangerous

You commanders have done some pretty amazing things in your time. Inspired by Alec_Turner telling us about this galactically drawn Fuel Rats logo, we want to hear about the incredible things that players have done in the franchise's 40-year history. Those achievements could be in-game, like the example above, or out-of-game. However, they must of course be related to Elite.

If you're submitting a video or image that isn't yours, be sure to read the instructions in the section below.

Deep Space Support Array (DSSA)

A network of Deep Space Fleet Carriers at your service!

The DSSA is a project to deploy a network of support Carriers all over the galaxy to help explorers in their deep space travels.

Currently there are about 100 individual or organisational carriers offering repair services, Universal Cartographics, refuel, shipyard, Vista Genomic, tritium, etc.

We need to be aware of what this means; dozens of Commanders supporting thousands of explorer players by selflessly lending their Fleet Carriers 24x7 just to help others and create lore and gameplay in Elite Dangerous.

Without a doubt these community initiatives are what make this game truly great.

Hello Commanders

For me one of the greatest achievements that the players have achieved is the creation of the Inara site.

For those of you who don't know, Inara is an essential platform for Elite Dangerous commanders, offering a wide range of tools and resources to make the lives of players easier.

Inara is not an official product of Frontier Developments. It is a platform created and maintained by players for players, which shows the incredible level of dedication and passion of the community.

Whenever I open the game, I also open the Inara site because it makes in-game tasks easier (locating a certain station or planet or system or commander, where to buy a certain product or module or ship, etc.) and it also keeps the community informed with the latest news and updates in the game, ensuring that everyone is up to date with important developments and changes.

I think it is a great achievement that the players have made this site.

Greetings pilots

Even though I'm a bit of an newcomer , I was able to catch one impressive event, namely the battle for the solar system.

To me this is the most impressive event in recent times, because on the evacuation, as well as the repulsion of the solar system joined a lot of pilots, both newcomers and old timers, there were even those who decided to return from wandering to distant worlds for the sake of such an event, each of the pilots contributed to the defense of the cradle of humanity. Preventing defeat by the Targoids and leaving their mark on history.

For me it has to be the search for the Lost Green Gas giant of Kelly Eldridge.

On May 23, 3301, CMDR Kelly Eldridge, who had been exploring deep in the black, took the following photo of what she described as "the strangest gas giant I've seen so far.".

Unfortunately they didnt record the location and it had never been relocated. Until seven years later the IEA Independent Explorers Association launched an expedition to locate it drawing in a large number of commanders armed only with a screenshot and some clues in the form of forum posts found using the wayback machine.

With a vague idea of location spanning many thousands of light years the commanders myself included tried to home in on the location by orioenting the stars to match the only surviving image which fortunately included the magellanic clouds

7 years after the initial discovery cmdr Orange! Found it after a month lonng search.

It's rather the most recent major event with I think atleast 2/3 of players taking part in, the Battle of Sol which started with the appearance of the titan Cocijo in the system and lasted a week and ended with the defeat of the Thargoids. Players very quickly began to recover lost systems around Sol, and despite difficult times, the final bombardment of the Titan began. Currently, only its remains can be found, no different from the rest.
