Oh boy.. I DID NOT expect that to look so good! Only second try too! Meet The Flamingo!

Okay, this ought to be one of the ENOURMOUS fleets travelling all the way to the other side of the galaxy/to the core way back. I wish I could've been a part of it, especially the first ones..

Also, the fuel rats! A perfect example of how community can bunch together and make something really amazing. I still remember watching the videos of Fuel Rats doing their job, beautiful stuff!

Close enough, good to see You shiny Lechonk! (Kinda battered from fighting all the trainers..)

I started playing Elite Dangerous a few years ago. At that time, I had a HUUGE obsession with anything space-related. My brother is the one who introduced me to the game. Stunning graphics, lots of freedom, amazing ships.. what else could I wish for?

My first months weren't filled with too much action, I did some mining, trading, and exploration, and when I got myself a hefty budget, I started doing more and more (Elite) dangerous stuff. I remember the joy I felt every time I pulled someone out from the supercruise. Those were some really good times.

Then I learned about the Elite: Dangerous Mining Tools website. This singlehandedly solved my financial issues and allowed me to start trying more and more careers without worrying about having my ship blown up. At first, I was anxious that it would steal all the joy from the game, but I quickly found out that mining is a really chill experience! I loved playing Home - Resonance in the background and just flying around, mining, trading

Nowadays, when I sadly don't have that much free time on my hands, I usually hop on during the evenings to get that nostalgia trip back to those good old days. I am not doing anything crazy, but just flying around and enjoying the vastness of the Elite universe is an amazing feeling

Also, I am aware that there are only tier 2 rewards left, but that's alright! I still wanted to share my thoughts

Get ships. Lose ships. Get more ships. Lose more ships. This game is all about learning! You WILL get blown up A LOT, but You'll have A LOT of fun while exploding! Getting absolutely demolished is a pleasure in this community 😅

Gotta be THE BEST sound You can hear after 5 hours of WH exploration and several hundred milion ISK worth of cargo..

Also, feel free to use my sound for the soundscape thingie!

Well, I am a rather new player myself, so there aren't many alliances I know.
So let me tell You about the alliance everyone knows and (well, not everyone I bet) loves!

Me and my corporation joined BRAVE alliance pretty early on in our career. Most of us were rather new with only a handful of veterans.

My first time living in Null Sec was.. certainly something. I can't even fathom the amount of myrmidons I lost to gankers while ratting until I finally got the hang of it all. What really surprised me, was that most of the time whenever I asked in corp/standing fleet chat for help and people didn't manage to save me and my ship (it was all my fault in all honesty, the gank could've been easily avoided), instead of frustration that they've also lost their ships, I was offered good advice and about 80% of myrms I've lost were repaid by kind strangers lurking somewhere in the chat.

Fleet ops also were really nice! One time Capt. Hamilton killed my cruci on my way to the rest of the fleet (I was lagging behind a jump). When I told the FC (Alzha'red) about it, he made the whole fleet wait for me and even sent me an escort so that I could quickly grab a new ship and rejoin them.

I think very fondly of my memories flying with all of them and will probably return and fly in null once more

That does look suspciously close to a revelation.

That's my bet
