Elite Dangerous Partner and Commander since the kickstarter. Oh the sights I have seen! Spewing my nonsense onto the internets via Twitch https://www.twitch.tv/cmdrhatch and now here! Sorry!
Pinned
Well it appears that I've jumped into a new system... time to get the scanner out and see what I can find. With luck there will be some sentient lifeforms... and you never know, maybe they'll be my friend?

Just wondered is any #EliteDangerous commanders out there had any recommended coping measures for when the galaxy is offline for an update? Asking for a friend...

I will be taking the pictures I made for the "K" event along this weekend to ECM. K1, 3, 6 & 10 are taken, the rest are still up for grabs so unless I hear from the people that donated with a number I'll try and hawk the rest!
If anyone knows Cmdr R09u3 could you please ask them to get in touch? <3
