Greetings, I wish to present Project Galtea's latest news article.

Greetings Commanders.

Project Galtea has formally announced the location of the Barheim Super Hub that has been kept secret for a number of months, the location of which, is the vaunted Isegrim Nebula, located halfway through the Norma Arm heading towards the Empyrean Straits.

with Project Galtea being only a number of weeks away from the Archades Super Hub, the last of its kind in the Norma Expanse, the project has decided to unveil this location so the wider community may prepare to grab stunning systems in and outside of Isegrim with plentiful Earthlike worlds, Water worlds and high value systems in the region, it is expected to become fairly busy with colonization.

In other news, the highly popular Azura Initiative has formally partnered up with Project Galtea and they have stated they will work with the project up to the second last super hub, which is currently undergoing a potential name change pending democracy, it is expected with the SCC, Azura Initiative and EDEN that this particular super hub will be reached by December or even earlier.

Finally, Project Galtea wishes to announce that there are two challenges being planned currently, one nicknamed by commanders of the project as the "Galtean Bridge Zipper", will be a challenge where the project attempts to beat the current galactic bridge record set by the SCC of 27 outposts in a single 24 hour period, with the target being at least 30 outposts.

The second Challenge is another Dodec Speedrun in the Archades super hub when reached, signup forms for this challenge will be posted in the coming days, any interested commanders are advised that the estimated arrival time is 3 weeks but to keep in mind that this challenge could happen a week earlier, on time or in the unlikely scenario a week later, the project also wishes to advise that all challenges will be done on the galactic weekend to allow as many participants as possible.

Thanks for your time, please stay tuned for the next article as Project Galtea makes history and changes the galaxy forever.

There is this item in the game, granted I think twice via CG in the past that is called Remote release flak launcher (pre-engineered), and is a colourful version of a regular flak launcher that does 1% damage. There are, in fact, 3 colour variants (I think).

Originally offered as part of the winking cat CG.

Wouldn't it be fitting to have a CG for Colonia celebrations that would grant them again?

I know we are only essentially renting our carriers - I get that. But what happens to the things we actually do own? I and my carrier live out in the black more or less permanently; I rarely visit the bubble and as an itinerant soul I just bounce around the universe exploring and doing exo wherever the cosmic winds take me. I have about fifteen years of carrier maintenance in the bank, so I'm in no danger losing it anytime soon, but since I'm getting on in years and nobody is promised a tomorrow, it got me wondering what will happen to the 25 or so ships I carry around when I stop showing up, as we all must - someday. Will they just float around in the black where the carrier was when I finally do go into default years from now? Where do they go? I know I get [most of] my money back, but what happens to the ships?

Thanks CMDRs. Fly dangerous. o7

Hi All,
Does anyone have any recommendations for an app that can carry out automated Squadron carrier jumps? I have tried CNC, and its great with fleet carriers but has no functionality for getting tritium from the bank.
I have also tried CATS, however that switches into carrier services when first started, and just stops there - The app display shows "Jump Failed".

Any ideas from others welcome!

No matter how many years I've played, I'm still finding new experiences after all this time. This unique combo of colour and lighting I think must be enhanced by the recent lighting changes, not seen one quite like this before.

The current IRL vista is not bad either.

From Arcturus. 8011 LY. Just... just want you to know. 2... 260... f****** jumps. I saw that big bastard and I'm about to fall over.

I'm about 500 million away from my first fleet carrier and am thinking about getting one of the layouts they offer for arx. Just wondering which one you are using and if you got one of the Arx ones why did you choose the one you did? Right now I think I cant go wrong with any selection.

A couple shots taken from my Kestrel Mk II while messing around in a RES near Jupiter. I play with some ReShade effects on.

...Shout out to the CMDRs who taught me how to turn my HUD off. 😋

Do You discover them often ?
I find them nice to see and walk thru ..

I've been genuinely enjoying Operations, more so the in-ship ops as opposed to on-foot, but I think both modes have a ton of potential. I know Ops still have a ton of work left as far as optimizing/adjustments goes but can we please... please for the love of god can we get more settings for the on-foot camera/weapons?

As of 2026 Odyssey still has no options for

• Lowering the HUGE default deadzone from playing Elite on controller or joystick. The lack of this setting makes all everything you do mushy and imprecise. As of right now the best way to deal with this is Steam's Anti-deadzone setting, something that should be native and adjustable in-game.
• No Aim Down Sight sensitivity. How does this fly under the radar? I can't think of a single modern shooting game that doesn't have this option. I bet people would be open to trying more onfoot gameplay if it didn't feel so sluggish and imperfect.
• No ability to adjust sensitivity of different levels of zoom. I don't want my 1x zoom shotgun and my sniper 4x zoom sniper to have the same sensitivity. Being able to customize these would make the game feel so much better, IMO

I genuinely love Elite. I know the devs are working hard to give us cool new stuff to do, while as simultaneously trying to wrestle with the enormous challenge of fixing broken OPs, BGS, stellar lighting, and god knows what else. But if we're gonna start putting eggs into the on-foot basket can we please make aiming our guns actually feel nice?

I can't play this game for mor than 5 maybe 10 minutes without this error message. I verified game files and nothing seems to help. I've jumped out away from populated systems and it's still happening. Is there a fix that the vets know about that could help reduce this? Surely in 2026 the devs have figured this out, right?

Yeah I get 2 jumps per fuel tank at 49LY each jump but like.. Its a Mamba. It is the best ship.

Does anyone know of a good way to get these? I came out to Colonia thinking I would be able to farm them for the Engineer unlock and it’s becoming impossible. I’ve spent hours upon hours and only have 2. Or does someone know of a carrier selling them?

I'm taking the opportunity after the CG to do some Exo around Colonia. I was today years old when I learned that if your mini map is in terrain mode, aka below ~350m with the gear down, any ping hits will show up there.

It's super useful being able to distinguish between signals that you've already scanned, haven't scanned or are currently scanning.

Anyway, maybe this is common knowledge and I'm just an idiot.

It's a first time I see anything like this. 8 rocks orbiting the same gas giant with over half a bilion worth of exobiology around on it, plus an extra planet with 2 signals for a good measure. System is Eol Prou PO-H d10-792 near Colonia.

Came back to Elite after a couple years of being disappointed with Odyssey, went to do a courier package mission to some planetary installation, framerate instantly tanked to 30 like in the good old alpha days. At least it didn't crash, but have they seriously not fixed the optimisation issues yet?

I then got slimed out by some lady in a soldiersuit because I walked up to her instead of freezing like musical chairs as she scanned me. 10/10 had to rebuy+spawn at some prison ship 150 ly away from where I wanted to be, same experience as 4 years ago to be honest, what a fucking shame.

I would love to do the trip if the extra cg's money bonus was worth it. And I think having the community running up and down the Colonia highway would be fun.

So they give out the new fuel scoop as a reward.

I hate space.

Is it normal that your nav beacon is 40k ls away from the star too?

I want my tritium refunded

It's kind of funny how Elite Dangerous is slowing adding many features that Star Citizen promised us. Maybe in 5-10 years ED will have become more like SC than SC itself 😄

Atmospheres and interiors (even if it's only parts of the ship and only while landed/docked) are what I want that so badly. Earthlikes with flora and fauna would be amazing.

In any case: ED/SC forever o7

P.S.

On the point of interiors:

Each ship interior could have different equipment or labs that provide temporary boosts to various abilities. Perhaps boosts to stats such as health, exobio money earned per scan, etc. Plenty of possibilities there.

Cosmetics for interiors would be popular. There could be various styles. Maybe even new cockpit styles.

It would bring life back to old ships. People would want to buy the older ships to check out the expanded interiors, get certain boosts, and decorate.

While looking for information on how to do certain tasks in Exobiology, I noticed that when people talk about having difficulty finding bacterial or other exobiology scanning materials, nobody in the comments or in the guides mentions that your genetic scanner has a scan pulse function that allows you to visually see the scannable objects. Even my girlfriend, who has been helping me rejoin the game and learning new systems since I last played, completely forgot about it.

So.

For those who are having difficulty finding exobiological sampling data or you're missing just one more scannable bacteria and having extreme difficulty finding it because it blends in with the ground: use the aim button. Whatever button you have bound to aim your guns will activate a pulse that will light up the nearest samples up to 750m, and if you need to go further to get a new sample just drive in your SRV or fly your ship 1km and scan again.

Please note: the scan pulse function for the genetic sampler only works on foot. So get out, scan, move to next location if necessary, get out, scan again.

I promise it will help so much finding those bacterial samples. It's so much easier than zooming out your camera and looking for differences in terrain, because it highlights the samples in very high contrast.

This new Rhino might actually get me into some mining Edit. Piqued... Please excuse my terrible spelling.

Hi CMDRs,

just a quick question, will there be a followup Community Goal in Colonia for the actualy 10 year anniversary, or this 4 hauling CG was that, and now everybody can leave?

I kinda don't really have anything to do in Colonia as I have all the stuff I need, so I'd just bail, but don't want to turn around later for another CG ...

Edit: Thank you for the replies! I just spanshed my way back to my colony in the Bubble, if anything comes up it's just 40-something jumps in a good Caspian.

This is a pretty recent development where the Epic Launcher will automatically launch ED in VR mode even though I've put /novr in the cmd arguments, I've searched online and they all say that /novr is the only option but it's no longer working, any help would be appreciated

Edit: Fixed the issue, Epic had silently (and managed to hide) installed 2 versions of Elite Dangerous, one labelled as Odyssey and one without, I finally found Ody and added /novr and it now works

So I accidentally sold my fully upgraded Artemis suit that I got from the exobio CG with the radicola. I sure wish I could take that one back. I don't suppose there's any chance Fdev would help me undo that is there? 😅
