Elite Dangerous elitedangerous.net website by PMC.

This is a space game / simulator with as close to real life replica of milky way galaxy with all its 400 billion star systems. Elite includes bounty hunting, combat, engineering, exploration, mining, missions from factions, power play (kind of like faction politics and war), star system colonization and trading, etc.

Milky way galaxy is procedural generated and it truly includes four hundred billion, that is billion with a B, not a million, star systems. Star system can be as small as single star (like earths star which is called Sun) or have planets, moons, gas giants, asteroid fields (gas giants with rings usually), orbital star ports ie space stations or planetary surface ports and settlements. Only populated space includes man made objects, rest of the 399.99 billion (heh) star systems are unexplored without any sign of humans ever visiting there. This milky way galaxy representation in elite is alone worth to buy the game and check it out, use it like a "stellar forge" to marvel and explore the galaxy as a map, or travel to each star system with a ship if you want. Truly amazing stuff I never seen anything like it in my history of video gaming since 1986 Commodore C64 days.

Main focus in Elite is to fly space ships, but (in my opinion unfortunately) developers added first person shooter feature to the game as well in recent years, you can now get out of your space ship, walk in space stations, land-able planets etc.

Main game-play in Elite is trading, mining, exploration and combat.

In my Elite Dangerous website you'll find most of my knowledge, I am trying to write pages there as I learn new stuff but unfortunately in recent years I've been somewhat neglecting elite both the game and my website, but now with the latest Elite v4.1 trailblazers update that will change, I will write literally more than hundred new web pages to the website (already done btw) while playing elite again and learning about new features and re-learning old things, bringing that muscle memory back.

Just finished moving tons of temporary text file notes to my local notes. These are the notes I've written since feb 27th 2025 until yesterday evening.

Its the same thing over and over again, why not just move these texts/notes into www.elitedangerous.net immediately? Well umm its scary, I want to proof read them, make sure they are legit and correct information, I take great pride and responsibility that PMC websites provide correct and up to date information. Of course keeping info up to date is quite hard, you would have to rotate through several game engines/communities and websites through every day well perhaps not every day but at least every week, this is simply not feasible for one man operation. I'll do the best I can.

These notes from Elite Dangerous v4.1.1 Trailblazers System Colonization Update will be added as soon as I can pull myself away from trading, cargo hauling, for several hours, this morning was a good start as I spend maybe just a bit over an hour now tinkering with those text file notes :)

Man, I have written so much Elite Dangerous system colonization stories from my multiple commander accounts that its just crazy, it will take me DAYS to proof read all of that stuff. Its been 17hrs/day colonizing efforts here, this has put the summer of 2020 Low Temperature Diamond craze era to shame :)

Anyways, just an quick update, now I have to get back to work, those outpost required commodities aren't going to cargo haul themselves ;)

Yesterday did 17hrs day of learning Elite Dangerous Exobiology, full spectrum system scan completed several systems, detail surface scanned several planets and then landed on planets to go search the biological signals on them. Was quite fun learning experience actually. Exobiology game feature is like an extension for the good old exploration routine.

I made like just over 1 billion credits in one day scanning samples for biological signals.

Started to write web page tutorial about exobiology, how its done, what outfitting modules you need and where all the different biological signals can be found on planet surfaces.

Oh and I do love Elite Dangerous Odyssey v4.1.1 planet terrain 3D models and textures, man Frontier Developments did a great job on those. I still remember some issue years back when horizons great terrain features (like how random the terrain is, how large terrain features can be, like tall mountains or deep canyons) got destroyed in some update, cant remember if it was odyssey or not, as said this was many years ago, soon after the 2020 summer Low Temperature Diamonds craze era. But as of Elite Dangerous v4.1.1 engine features, those planets look impressive, I am just awed looking at how massive landscapes they are, how realistic they look considering its all procedural generated by computer code. Then the most craziest thing is, elite milky way galaxy is 400 billion star systems, so who knows how many trillions of cool looking planets are there to discover. Its just so awesome.

My exobiology, System Colonization and other new Elite Dangerous web pages will be put online as soon as I can pull myself away from actually playing elite some. Man, when you get to read those elite space stories I've written since feb 27th 2025 you will be rolling your eyes how cool gaming ride it has been for me until now.

Just an quick update before booting up PMC Gaming computer for another 17hrs day of exobiology studies and some cool credit making ;)

Played some Elite Dangerous yesterday, late last night finished my very first 1.5 day long Exobiology Exploration trip to sample scan Biological Signals on planet surfaces. This whole trip made me 1.256 billion credits.

Learned a lot about exobiology game feature, documented, took screenshots and this documentation will be made available in some exobiology web page or pages rather, when I get around to it (as usual).

Finished last night by getting a System Colonization Claim on PMC Home World in Snake Sector AV-Y c4, see inara link. Was amazed I managed to grab this system before anyone else gets to it, already back in 2021 this system was mentioned in my elite space story page so was kind of afraid that someone might "snipe it" from under my nose, but no such fear, it all ended well in the end, I got the claim and now I am as happy as I can be :D

Also I did a Spansh systems scan for Snake Sector in Milky Way galaxy and that came out as 3039 total number of systems. So my Elite Dangerous v4.1 trailblazers system colonization dream of colonizing whole Snake Sector... yeah I might have to hit some breaks on that plan/goal/dream, 3039 systems is insanely large number, lets say if that is cut by dividing it with three which is 3039 / 3 == 1013 systems, a thousand systems to colonize, yeah let me tell ya right now it ain't gonna happen :P

Why? Because system colonization primary port smallest workload is to build an orbital outpost, this required around 21,000 to 22,500 tons of commodities delivered for construction materials in the system colonization ship. This is roughly 28 Lakon Type-9 Heavy cargo runs with its great 790t cargo capacity. So one system bare minimum is 28 cargo runs, imagine doing 100 systems... that would be 2,800 cargo runs, oh my... Yeah you really don't want to haul that much cargo no matter how much you like trading ;)

But right now in late winter early spring of 2025 on april 25th, its my daily goal to work on colonizing Snake Sector systems as much as possible, make a colonization claim, build an orbital outpost and then move on to the next nice system and start all over there. At some point I will get completely burnt out and just need to to take a break, whether this break will be few nights watching tv-shows/movies or even few weeks playing lets say ArmA 3 or Farming Simulator 19/22, it will happen and its to be expected, my long term years lasting goal is to slowly, gradually, creep in one system at the time building PMC colonies in Snake Sector. Where this might lead in lets say a year, or five, depending on the life span of Elite Dangerous video game, who knows... but it will be an epic journey that's for sure! :D

If anyone wants to take part on this incredible Elite journey, get in touch with me, there is plenty of room in PMC squadron for new commanders to join up.

Once I get around to it my plan is to write a extensive web page (or pages) for this whole PMC system colonization project explaining whats planned, already done and currently being worked on. I just have no time as I'm playing Elite 17hrs/day right now and unlike Farming Simulator 19 or FS22, there is no ALT-TABbing to write stories or web pages while tractors are running on the fields, unfortunately elite is hands on game all the time, if you play then you really PLAY and not just fiddle around.

Anyways, stay tuned, more Elite stuff to come ;)

Yesterday made four more System Colonization claims. Those were hand picked pretty nice systems with a lot of planetary construction slots available. Now got 30 days time to finish primary port outpost (chose the industrial vulcan outpost type) which is piece of cake.

Today will be emptying PMC fleet carriers if I can, then send them back to the populated space to be loaded again with outpost construction site required commodities.

Its going to be a fun and long Elite Dangerous day I'm sure :)
