Hi, not new to the game but fairly new to exploration. Currently heading to Sagitarius A, not too far off now. I was taking some pictures to show my boyfriend how bright and numerous the stars are and saw... that thing? What is that? Does anyone know? I really want to see it in person! Not sure if this info helps but my current system is MYLAIFAI FH-J D10-7742.
never seen this till after recent update . could it be from that or perhaps a setting in graphics changed because of that? everything else seems the same except this grid after a dss scan and it happens on every body now.
Albulum Gourd Mollusc in the Norma Expanse
The carrier's new location is SHROGAAE KK-A d711 body 7
Services available (0% tariff)
There are three Void Heart NSP sites at body 7.
I know for whatever reason F-dev only changed things for just two star types, (Lets hope they do same for the rest) but I happened to run into a really interesting atmospheric in this system. And some great ringed planets. So I took the Cobra for a spin to see how it all comes together. The new Milky way looks very interesting with the increased blues.
I like the new look! Hope they implement on all stars soon. The overal light of the star here seemed still pretty white to me..
Hey Commanders, o7
I've been working on a project that I think a lot of you out in the black will appreciate.
As a minimalist who really enjoys sitting out in the black, discovering new systems and now exo-tracking with my new Nomad, I always felt like tools like Exploration Buddy or EDDiscovery are too much.
That’s why I built Elite: Lighthouse; a sleek, ultra-minimalist, click-through overlay HUD designed to sit seamlessly over your dashboard without breaking immersion.
Here’s what it does right now:
🌌Neutron Route Planner
Directly integrates with the Spansh API. Just plot your source and destination. It sits quietly on your screen and automatically copies the next waypoint to your clipboard every time you jump. If you veer off-route to check something out, it will know you are off-route, and the second you jump back onto a valid waypoint, it picks right back up where you left off. You can also minimize it to a tiny status bar if you just want to see the text.
🧬Zero-Click Exo Tracker
As soon as you land on a planet with Bio Signals, Lighthouse will track your sample progress in real-time.
🎯HVT (High Value Target) Alerts
If the system you jumped in has an Earth-like World, Water World, or Ammonia World, Lighthouse immediately will show it here so don't miss (You would need to FSS regardless).
🚢Fleet Carrier Radar
Need to cash in some Bio scans or repair? It uses your live location to find the nearest fleet carriers. it shows installments as well so you don't need to hit-or-miss.
It’s completely open-source. For those who just want to plug-and-play, I’ve uploaded a pre-baked .exe that you can just download and run! (Just make sure you play in Windowed or Borderless Windowed mode so the overlay can sit on top of the game).
I'd love to hear what you guys think, or if there are any specific minimalist features you’d love to see added (Scenic Views radar is currently on the roadmap!).
Fly dangerous. o7
While I was on the hunt for some exobio data and some sweet screenshots I found for the first time a dust cloud.
Just kind of existing above the ground. I'm always happy to little find weird things like that !
Just to be clear, it was just a bug where at this precise place some dust cloud animation played on a loop.
Title says it all. I'm currently in the bubble loading up on some tritium before heading out to the middle of the rim. Seeing if there is interest in a lift before shoving off.
Welcome Commanders!
We are a relaxed, no pressure guild who explore the galaxy at our own pace and have fun while doing so.
We have no agenda or requirement for joining other than a passion to discover.
We offer an in-game squadron so you can fly with your fellow Commanders if desired (TSEG).
We enjoy a high-security home system with an abundant supply of tritium.
We have five fleet carriers deployed deep in the black to support exploration.
Experienced explorers and new Commanders alike, all are welcome.
Plus Ultra Astra- Further, to the stars!
Love it anyway!
Only coast 300K from the bubble though! FML
The scanner on the Nomad is so nice.
Look at this freakin bacteria!
It blends perfectly into the ground.
I would have never found this.
For attention of explorers, I can confirm it looks like my Visited Stars data was wiped after playing a bit of Operations (file is now only 1K data size, down from 400) Luckily I have a backup from a couple of weeks ago ... and fully documented the process to restore them a few years ago.
This might be useful for others too, assuming you have a backup
Issue tracker
I think I found the new look for the Elite Dangerous Exo bio enthousiast ;) Matches the ship perfectly :) Gives that real "researcher" vibe. If F-dev could now make something like a cool robot space dog that talks to you and a cool hoverbike that you can bring inside of you Nomad... ;)
This Stellar lighting fix is great.
