What happened to all the ships that were around pre-FSD drives?
Weird question, I know. But I couldn't sleep last night and started reading a lot about Elite lore. I had no idea that FSD drives are actually incredibly new in the game, only being a little over a decade old!
While we know many ships must have been retrofitted like the Python, Cobra mk.3, Adder, etc. Surely many ships couldn't have been retrofitted with an FSD drive and they wouldn't have been immediately scrapped, right?
It would have added some fun flavor to see older ships running about in the game. Not necessarily ships we could buy (or want to buy) but there's so many weird old ships from Frontier for example that would have been fun to see running around as intersystem haulers or coming and going from space stations. It just seems odd lore-wise that everyone got an FSD immediately. Or little shuttle craft would have been neat too even if we couldn't use them.

The Federation needs you – Defend Sol from the Empire
The Thargoid invasion of Sol has been defeated, a great threat kept at bay, and humanity kept safe. But in the wake of this conflict emerges a new threat to Sol and the systems that surround it: the Empire, predictably without a care for political borders or simple human decency in the aftermath of a war, is trying to seize control of the core federal systems that just a week ago were recovering from Thargoid attack.
To all pilots, members and friends of the Federation, or independent pilots who care about fairness and the integrity of the bubble, we ask you to help defend the Federation against the cold opportunism of a superpower that would sell the most vulnerable of our citizens into slavery.
Let me level with you: the Thargoid assault on Sol has wiped out millions of merits that Archer pilots had sunk into strongholds and fortified systems across the Sol bubble. As a result, key Federal systems are now vulnerable and unoccupied where once they were unassailable. We had no illusions as to our enemies' lust for power, even in the context of an alien threat, and as it stands Archer is already locked in a tight race with Aisling Duval for Alpha Centauri, home of Hutton Orbital and the closest system to Sol itself.
We expect the battle for Sol and its neighboring systems to hard-fought, as Aisling has the largest Powerplay player base by a strong margin. And yet, with the help of willing commanders like you, we can hold our ground. I ask any sympathetic commander who reads this post to pledge to Jerome Archer, and fight for the Federation in Alpha Centauri. Fight for Archer in Powerplay conflict zones, redeem bounty vouchers while pledged, or mine and trade your way to merits.
Adversity is not all that you’ll find; expect to find wing after wing of like-minded pilots, and have fun flying alongside us. We encourage you all to join coordinated Federal Powerplay over on our official subreddit at r/EliteArcher and our official discord over at discord.gg/fuc.
Fly safe; with your help, we can all make a difference. o7

Sandra Coors delivery locations and rewards (SPOILERS!) - Christmas Event 2024
A new Galnet article has arrived kicking off this year's FESTIVE rewards with delivery puzzles to solve!
Galnet News | Sandra’s Workshop Asks for Festive Gift Couriers
To kick things off, travel to FROST DOCK in the NJAMBALBA system. Frost Dock is an outpost, so only small and medium ships can dock. It is 32,444 Ls from the main star, so SCO drive is recommended.
Docking at the outpost will result in receiving a message from Mrs. Sandra Coors, and you will be able to purchase up to 24 of the rare commodity, "Festive gifts" (you only need 6 delivered to the proper locations).
The message will point you to a nearby beacon. Target the beacon and wait for the scan to complete; you will receive six (6) messages containing riddles that point to your delivery locations.
If you didn't already do it before docking, fly to the beacon near the station, target it and wait for the scan to complete. Once you do so, you will receive 6 messages. Each message contains a sort of riddle for you to solve, pointing you to the delivery station.
Once you've worked it out, you have to sell ONE of the Festive Gifts (rare commodity) at the station's commodity market - after that you'll receive a message to your inbox detailing the rewards for completing the step.
ADVICE: This year's puzzles aren't overly complicated, are not encrypted, and offer fun mental challenges to figure out. Before popping the spoilers, I strongly recommend working these out with your friends and ignoring system chat. They are a lot of fun.
Here is the list of where the goods must be taken:
>!\#1 - LHS 1387 : Angel's Sunshine (395 Ls)!<
>!\#2 - HR 1980 : Low City (2,126 Ls)!<
>!\#3 - CAPELLA : Darkesport (10,562 Ls)!<
>!\#4 - MUNFAYL : Samson (235 Ls)!<
>!\#5 - FOMALHAUT : Fort Lee (189 Ls)!<
>!\#6 - LHS 3006 : Leonard Nimoy Station (72 Ls)!<
Here's the optimized route (it's not too long this year, at only 343.38 Ly!)
Start: Njambalba
>!\#4 - Munfayl (74.55 Ly)!<
>!\#1 - LHS 1387 (58.97 Ly)!<
>!\#5 - Fomalhaut (29,22 Ly)!<
>!\#6 - LHS 3006 (56.23 Ly)!<
>!\#3 - Capella (47.48 Ly)!<
>!\#2 -HR 1980 (76.94 Ly)!<
This year's rewards:
>!\#1: Type-9 Snowfall Cracker paintjob and Festive Firework Launcher (Red)!<
>!\#2: Krait Phantom Snowfall Cracker paintjob and Festive Firework Launcher (Yellow)!<
>!\#3: Diamondback Explorer Snowfall Cracker paintjob and Festive Firework Launcher (Green)!<
>!\#4: Anaconda Snowfall Cracker paintjob and Festive Gifts Ornament (bobblehead)!<
>!\#5: Festive Jumper Elite!<
>!\#6: 20,000,000 credits!<
Finally, after doing five of the deliveries, a message came in from Mrs. Coors offering a New Year's Greetings >!and an additional 20 million credits!< for good measure. My thanks to CMDR BenQ32 who helped in confirming all the delivery locations!
Happy Holidays and Fly Dangerously!

The Princess Needs You To Get a Mug
Fellow citizens, distinguished commanders, and friends beyond the stars, today we stand on the precipice of change.
Hutton Orbital has always been a beacon signifying undying spirit, persistence and some might even say die-hard stubbornness in the pursuit of handouts, and under the benevolent stewardship of Princess Aisling Duval it will thrive like never before.
Federal leadership, despite noble words, continues to falter in crucial moments. Felecia Winters delayed for months due to earthquakes on a single planet, how can she be trusted to rebuild what was lost to the Thargoids across dozens of systems! Jeremy Archer has no track record and must take responsibility for the failure to protect his wards from the Thargoid menace, and it is no secret that many of his supporters are sympathetic to those mass-murdering xenos.
Princess Aisling Duval has long heard the cries for help from the hundreds of Federation worlds that have sworn fealty to her leadership, cries asking to be set free from slavery, which is uniquely banned in her territory and no one else’s, cries asking to be given assistance and employment and not left to wage serfdom and ruinous poverty as so often has been the case due the disastrous dictatorial leadership of Zachary Hudson.
No More! We say! Federation and Imperial citizens deserve a leader that, at her own risk, was willing to bridge the divide between both superpowers. One who has proactive strategies to anticipate threats and respond with decisiveness, One who has always had a heart for the unfortunate and extends their arm to support the needy.
Hear our call, devoted commanders, let the finest minds and bravest warriors take up arms, to not only reclaim what has been lost, but also build a future where security and prosperity are assured, both in Alpha Centauri and in the new stars beyond. Let us unite under one banner, heal the wounds of the past, and forge a bright new future for humanity with our Princess leading the way!

SCO is the winning feature of 2024
Well basically the title. With all the chatter about the Thargoid War and the new shiny ships, I feel like SCO is underrated. This has changed the minute to minute gameplay like I never expected Elite to achieve.
I fitted my whole fleet with it and I'm shooting everywhere like it's Star Trek. If my destination is ten thousand lightseconds or more away from the main Star, I no longer go like: "oh", I go like: "oh yeah".
I wonder how gankers are doing these days? Because everytime I jump into Deciat, I instantly boost away from the main Star where they always camp out. I haven't been caught once since I use this technique.
SCO made the basic gameplay of flying the ship fun in ways I didn't even expect, it's cool to use and makes the experience frequently fresh since there are plenty of opportunities to use it. Although I make do with an excuse too every once in a while.
Congrats, bravo, hats off, pet on the back, this thing is awesome.

To the kind people purchasing industrial quantities of titan drive components around Sol-
Thank you for single-handedly financing my anaconda fund. I've put over a hundred million creds in the bank thanks to your strange desires.
I'm guessing they're used for some crazy end-game thing I'm not yet aware of. But right now they're a gold mine for my bank account. If things continue as they are, I should be sitting in my new ship tonight.
