What is Elite Dangerous to you?

- To me, it's unbridled speed; the thrill and suddenness of rebuy is intoxicating at times. There's always another race, another trick; and at supersonic (almost 3x the speed of sound) there's always more to learn!

This is my Elite Dangerous, and CMDR, you should try it - I promise you'll be a much better pilot for it!

Awesome! Hooning reward!

• "I feel the Need..." This one's for you, Maverick! Share with us a video of your hooning/racing

• "Pop your bonnet!" Link us a coriolis/EDSY of your racer, good sir/lady

• "I can do a barrel roll!" Show us a video of the craziest acrobatic stunt you can execute.

I humbly suggest Pleione system, within the Pleiades Nebula.
I visited it very early on in my Elite days and was blown away. It has a bit of everything for a budding CMDR, bright eyed and looking for experiences. And yet, even as a CMDR who's been across the Galaxy, I still pilgrimage here and remember the early days. Pleione's offerings:

• It's beautiful

• It's close to the Bubble (~400LY from Sol)

• The Squirrel Bar is an installation you can practice your flight around and has many cool 'scannables', some are quite amusing!

• Stargazer is a rare 'Asteroid base' category starport

• Thargoids are resident within Pleione, but are pretty passive, excellent for CMDRs first anti-Xeno moments.

For me the iCourier is incredibly underrated. She's a versatile powerhouse - 45LY jump range, easy 800m/s boost speed (if you can't dock her in 10-12 seconds you're flying her wrong), very agile.
I use her for pretty much everything BGS - scans, courier (duh) missions, destroy power (planetary and megaship), quick turnarounds for ground CZs. And at 45LY, she's a great Bubble runabout.
