NOMAD - Rediscovering Sightseeing

Free with Gold

After the eBook “Nomad, Exobiology’s King or Caspian Explorer’s crutch ?” it felt natural to investigate further what the Nomad brings to explorers/exobiologists. The Nomad Is, no doubt, a solution for the landing problems of the Caspian Explorer, and it has some problems or limitations of its own that small ships - like the Sidewinder - do not have, but once you’ve tried it, it’s difficult to go back to anything else.

Nomad - Exobiology King or Caspian Explorer's crutch?

Free with Gold

The introduction of the Nomad is a game-changer for Elite Dangerous Odyssey, as it brings to the simulation a type of vessel with a very specific role while also allowing Frontier to explore a short-trip into “ship interiors”, which may expand into the future. The new vessel gave birth to many theories, some completely nuts, but one thing is sure: this version may be “exobiology” only, but the introduction of two new interior kits - Exploration and Cargo - for the Nomad, besides the initial Science kit, suggests that different versions of the vessel may be introduced in the future.

HIP 27952 - The Science-Fiction System

Free

From the moment I decided to explore the colonization system in Elite: Dangerous I knew I wanted to give my system a sci-fi theme. The naming system for stations, outposts and settlements allowed it, but when INARA linked the names chosen to Galpedia and Wikipedia, I discovered not everything was as I intended. So here is the eBook that sets things straight.

The GUARDIANS Guide - Inner Orion Spur

Free

The NEBULAS at Hawking's Gap

Free

The Catalogue of Galactic Nebulae only mentions one nebula at Hawking’s Gap, situated close to the frontier to the Norma Expanse region, but there are two planetary nebulas that you should visit too if you travel through the region.

The NEBULA at Dryman's Point

The NEBULA at Dryman’s Point

Free

It’s becoming a trend! In the Veils and at Trojan Belt we feared a single nebula would not justify the journey, and we were wrong. This time, at Dryman’s Point, we knew the single nebula was important, but nothing prepared us for the colorful experience we share in this volume. It’s, no doubt, one of the most exciting places to visit if you are an astrophotographer.

The NEBULA at the Trojan Belt

Free

As we felt for The Veils, with its single nebula, we also approached Trojan Belt with caution, with fear that the trip would be in vain. We’ve yet, in fact, to find a region from the galaxy that does not have exciting features that make you stay longer. The whole volume shared here is an example of how much you can find in the Trojan Belt. And we only touched the surface!

Issue #1

The NEBULA at The Veils

Free

After two volumes with multiple nebulae in two regions, visiting The Veils and its single nebula made us fear that the trip would be in vain. We ended creating a whole volume, because there was so much to share. The systems in the region are a smorgasbord waiting for you to dare explore them. Pick the region as your next destination and enjoy… The Veils unveiled!

The NEBULAS at Ryker's Hope

Free

The Fleet Carrier “The Yellow Star” is on a trip to document nebulas in different regions of the galaxy. After a first volume dedicated to the nebulas (or nebulae, if you prefer the term) in the Galactic Centre the carrier headed to Ryker’s Hope to visit the most interesting nebulas in that region.

Issue #1

The NEBULAS at the Galactic Centre

Free

After a series on Guardians and their Ancient Sites, it’s time to look at nebulas (or nebulae, if you prefer), starting at the Galactic Centre. Some of these nebulae belong to a very special and restrict group present in the core of the galaxy: they have not formed any stars, so they can only be seen from the planets and systems around them. It’s clearly an unusual situation, making it a challenge to create visual documents of these bodies.

Free

Following a previous eBook dedicated to the memory of my calico cat Yellow, "Dangerous Journey" this new volume shares the story of my new voyage, with my two sons - in real-life - to the planet chosen as Yellow's Den, a pilgrimage that took us to Explorer's Anchorage and beyond, onboard the Fleet Carrier named... "The Yellow Star". This is a very personal eBook shared here because others might find it interesting. Hope you enjoy the images.

A Sense of Wonder

Free

After finishing one eBook covering the Distant Legacy expedition I said to myself that the journey, which took us to some of the most fantastic places in the space simulation, could probably be shared with others, using some of the key images from the original eBook. That's how A Sense of Wonder took shape.

Journey to the PIT

Free

The fleet carrier FOB Vindaloovia was scheduled to make two trips to EHAM, as a resupply vessel, so I took my Sidewinder and a suitcase - nothing more needed or allowed on board for this trip - and used the opportunity to explore the area in Elite: Dangerous Odyssey.

The Yellow Planet - an Elite:Dangerous Guardian Mystery

Free

Six months after my calico cat Yellow died, I landed on a yellow planet and found the place so fascinating I wanted to create a comic-style eBook about it. My DBX and Scarab, all painted in yellow - you know why - fit like a glove there and the whole place asked to be the background for a story... which was not hard to find!

Issue #1

The Six Nebula Tour

Free

A comic-style eBook showing aspects of the voyage organized by Commander Fuinnel for those interested in exploring some of the nebulas in Elite:Dangerous. The seven weeks long - or short... - tour of the six nebulas created the conditions for this 50-page eBook that ends being a document of the wonders experienced by the participants. The Six Nebula Tour is published with a big THANK YOU to Commander Fuinnel, who created the tour, with the support of the Stellar Cartographers Guild.

A Dangerous Journey

Free

What do my departed calico cat, Yellow, the space sim Elite: Dangerous and comic books have in common? Well, I used the game to create a comic book style story in memory of Yellow, sharing a story that mixes real life feelings and the fiction of a videogame. It's another way to perpetuate the memory of a cat that was my Elite: Dangerous "copawlot" for seven years. Enjoy it!

The MIGHTY Sidewinder

Free

Exobiologists should have one Sidewinder, the only ship that lands on a space the size of a handkerchief. The little Sidewinder is, in fact, more than a useful all-rounder, it is fast and fun… and the most ecological. Discover how to get your own Sidewinder in Elite: Dangerous ready for exploration.

A Cobra in the Backyard

Free

A comic-style eBook showing the new survey pack theme for the Cobra MK III used in a short exobiology tour around "the bubble", to reveal how to "make a living" exploring planets and moons within the region of colonized space spanning 160 light-years from Sol. The nearly 30-page comic-style eBook is a clear example that the area still has hidden planetary wonders waiting to be found. Or rediscovered…
