This is why Elite Dangerous wipes SC off the map

One Commander, stranded on the edge of space and another Pilot's heroic plight to bring him back.

Seasoned explorer CMDR Felix Macedonica having spent a year out on the edge of known space, was heading back to Beagle Point when disaster struck.

Having found himself a single LY out of range of the next system, and without the necessarily materials to progress, a forlorn Macedonica lamented that his time was up.

Sending one last distress signal, Macedonica contemplated his fate, before voices started to call back to him from out of the black.


Chief among these was Commander Chiggy Vonrictofen. Refusing to leave a Pilot stranded in the depth of space, Chiggy kitted up at Jaques then set off to retrieve Macedonica.

Macedonia was in need of a single unit of Germanium to escape his fate. Having equipped mining lasers, Chiggy made his 60,000 LY journey across the Galaxy in hopes that he could mine the Germanium needed nearby for Macedonica to scoop up.

There were no guarantees it would work, but it was the only shot they had.

After racing to Macedonica at blistering speeds of 3-5,000 LY an hour, Chiggy arrived and got to work mining.




Tensions were high, as the Galaxy watched on, calculating the chances that they would find the elusive material. Fear of failure began to set in. After all this, would it be enough?

But then... GERMANIUM!

An elated Macedonica scooped up their prize. With enough range to leave his purgatory the two finally left the system.

exactly my problem, I have a life, a job, and a second job as dad. If I can't easily pause/save/walk away, and the ROI on my time isn't high, I ain't touching it

Do they have interceptors... sort of. The problem is that the Lead Designer wants to balance the game as an MMO (argh), so bigger ships are better. That means that things that fly like interceptors are mostly too small to do much in a real fight.

I guess a Fer-de-Lance with Engineer modded multicannons is the closest you can get to a heavy int. Alternatively an unshielded, up-armoured Federal Assault Ship.
