If you have a copy of the game, and want to try some of this out or get back into the game after a break come chat with Arithon, SneakyTiger or Myself.
We're trying think of good ways engage the community in the game and enjoy some of the large number of improvements that have arrived in the last months. The game is a long term programme of development where they started with a core universe and what was termed Elite 1980's features then have added more and more every time they release an update.
There are also feature they do not advertise as they would be spoilers for the events in the universe.
I also recommend you check out the Elite Dangerous Blog, run by our very own Arithon http://www.elite-dangerous-blog.co.uk/ which is a hugely informative source of info, trivia and content on the game. A rather amazing achievement for Arithon and helping promote the dMw Community.
Give it a go!
Thanks,
Albert
