 The Wildcard votes have begun
TL/DR; Here on Inara, we will tell you which are the most beneficial people to vote for.
Alright listen up Tadpoles, Frogs, toads and other amphibians.
As you're all aware, the games have begun. https://community.elitedangerous.com/wildcard
NOTE, ONCE YOU VOTE THAT'S IT, IT IS ONLY ONE VOTE PER ACCOUNT AND YOU CANNOT SWITCH YOUR VOTES. Remember, you will be using your elite account to sign in, not the forums one. You've got about until Tuesday 17 May at 10:00 BST, to vote.
So who are the Pledges you ask? Why here you go!
Wildcards
- Achenar Immortals Coalition consiting of:
---Jethro Sharpe (a lone Fed Commander), Guild of Rebuy Screenius Maximus, 13th Legion, Federal Reclamation CO, 160 S.O.A.R., Silver Skulls, Flying Tigers, EDC Vanguard, Vortex Continuum, Guardians of Tranquillity, Smiling Dog Crew
- Black Birds Squadron
- The Imperial Inquisition
- Battle Vortex
- Planet Express
- Adle's Armada Coalition consisting of:
---Earth Defence Fleet, Independent Pilots Consortium, Sovereign Justice Coalition, The Ancient Order & Time of Chaos
- Black Omega
- EG Pilots
- Wolves of Jonai
- United German Commanders Coalition consisting of:
---United German Commanders & Blood Brothers from Alrai
- Pileus Libertas
So you wanna know a little more about these groups? Well, take it from Frontier Development's pundit!
Achenar Immortals Coalition (https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=249058&page=2&p=3870676&viewfull=1#post3870676)
Our pundit says: Achernar Immortals have confirmed a coalition late in the process with a large number of groups pledging to the coalition. The coalition boasts the following members Jethro Sharpe (a lone Fed Commander), Guild of Rebuy Screenius Maximus, 13th Legion, Federal Reclamation CO, 160 S.O.A.R., Silver Skulls, Flying Tigers, EDC Vanguard, Vortex Continuum, Guardians of Tranquility & Smiling Dog Crew). Whilst vast in numbers these groups also hail from a very wide and diverse ethos and background. From notorious pirates, to Federation all in support of the Imperial immortals. With Elenar heading up the coalition and having access to large promotional channels these could certainly be a strong group for the wildcard position. But can they galvanise their community channels and their groups to one united cause?
Black Birds Squadron (https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=249058&p=3870518&viewfull=1#post3870518)
Our pundit says: The Black Birds Squadron are a group that have received less public discussion than other groups in the Wildcard. However, these guys could easily be a very strong force in the wildcard games. While the Black Bird Squadron are competing as themselves, they could pull support from the French Coalition which they are in. This coalition was involved in one of the Educating Eds and contains a number of prominent French groups. What’s more, they are also heavily involved in a number of French community sites and have a strong outreach in that community. As the only French group, this could prove to be a difficult group to beat.
The Imperial Inquisition
Our pundit says: Famous for their hunter games and other events. This group have proven their ability to pull groups to their side and compete in vast numbers through CGs in the past. With this and their streaming community this imperial bunch are certainly a group of sizable force!
Battle Vortex (https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=249058&page=3&p=3872133&viewfull=1#post3872133)
Our pundit says: Battle Vortex are an extensive gaming community. With sizable channels on YouTube and Twitch, they could well be a surprise in this competition if they can get their Commanders rallying for their cause!
Planet Express
Our pundit says: A smaller group of Commanders and believed to be more Xbox leaning but present on both platforms. It will be really great to find out more about this group’s ethos and background in the competition through their political campaign.
Adle's Armada Coalition (https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=249058&p=3870483&viewfull=1#post3870483)
Our pundit says: A truly dangerous threat. Adles Armada alone are one of the more known and recognised groups in the wildcard race. Not only that but they also have a formidable coalition in place with some very dedicated and formidable groups. In the Diamond Frogs Educating Ed episode we saw some clear tensions between Adle’s Armada and the Diamond Frogs so we’re expecting some exciting developments from this group as the competition progresses.
Black Omega (https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=249058&p=3870465&viewfull=1#post3870465)
Our pundit says: another of the less publically discussed groups in these competitions. An independent aligned group who we’ll be looking forward to hearing more from as their campaign develops.
EG Pilots (https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=249058&p=3870479&viewfull=1#post3870479)
Our pundit says: A dedicated Russian group. The EG pilots (not to be confused with Emperor’s Grace) could surprise a few people if they can get enough support from their communities. Perhaps one that the English speaking Community might not be aware of but certainly not one to take lightly.
Wolves of Jonai
Our pundit says: Headed up by well-known YouTuber ChaosWulff, This Commander has the group, platform and size of followers to be a threat in the votes, depending on how active and persuasive his campaign is.
United German Commanders Coalition (https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=249058&p=3870507&viewfull=1#post3870507)
Our pundit says: United German Commanders are working alongside the Blood Brothers from Alrai which represent a considerable German contingent. It will be interesting to see the development of this campaign as we head into the votes.
Pileus Libertas (https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=249058&page=2&p=3871285&viewfull=1#post3871285)
Our pundit says: Some may consider this group relatively small, but this imperial group, rich in history are very passionate and dedicated. Could they be a possible surprise in the votes? Again, we will be eager to see their campaigns unfold over this week.
So now you ask, "Why is this important?".
To now I answer, because the top five pledges will eventually compete in CGs to determine which one of them will rise to be the sixth potential candidate and then finally compete with the other top 5 groups/Coalitions to become the next Power.
Rise to Power
- Alliance Elite Diplomatic Corps [AEDC]
- Border Coalition [BC] (qualified faction - Dukes of Mikunn)
---Mercs of Mikunn, Communism Interstellar & The Winged Hussars
- GalCop (qualified faction - Diamond Frogs) <---That's us!
---Dark Echo, Da Vinci Corp, Diamond Frogs (+Adamant Toads), East India Company, EXO, The Forgotten, Light Horse Brigade, Paladin Consortium, Pixel Bandits Security Force & Sirius Inc.
- Interstellar Communist Union [ICU]
- Social Eleu Progressive Party [SEPP]
- Wildcard – ????

Finally, one lucky entrant will receive a small care package of Freddos*. (They cost 25 pence now. Outrage).
I remember when they were 3p

I honestly think Frontier has some of the best artists in the business. I'm doing 3d modeling/texturing/animation on my Star Citizen parody space game (Solar Plebeian), working on a cockpit recently. I've been looking at some of Elite's cockpits for inspiration and hints about composition, texturing and lighting. loving hell man. Just look at the details, the little consoles, hubs, all the different materials for each little panel, wear and tear, etc. It's an absolute master's class:
For reference, here's an in-game video of the WIP immersion cockpit in the Goonrathi Scout autism chariot:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FucIzBxwN9k
Now, I'm nowhere near a pro 3d artist (I'm a programmer, just learning how to model/animate). But that thing took me at least 40 hrs. And it doesn't even begin to come close to a single E:D cockpit.
I give Frontier a lot of poo poo, but I absolutely love their game at a fundamental, technical, and artistic level.
I absolutely love the in ship entertainment, Simon on the left side of the console

The hotas x has an analog rocker instead of the flaps, I use that for yaw because I hate twisty sticks. Hopefully I can use them for that, even if not analog (yaw is weak enough that you don't really need analog precision imo)
I have a Fly5 and it has a hat switch i use for lateral side to side and up down, twist for yaw and stick for roll/pitch
the 4 top buttons i use for Target, Boost, FA and Friendship drive (i also have a rift)

They're adding in the ability to change your exhaust color soon, so you'll be able to customize it to be anything you would like.

I liked my X52 Pro, but it broke just outside of warranty and I ended up getting a CH Fighterstick Pro, CH Throttle and the rudder pedals. It's not perfect, but it is very flexible (the the downside that you have to spend an age setting it up as you want it).
I have a mad Katz Fly 5 and swear by it.

I remember a scifi series (The Hyperion Cantos, if anyone is interested) where they had long since figured out how to make androids appear completely human, but then went 'on second thought that's kind of creepy'. Their solution was to create all androids with bright blue skin, and then code them to have a deep aversion to trying to alter their skin color. There's something deeply disturbing about something pretending to be human and being too good at it.
Yeah. Personally I like using Voice Attack, especially in VR when I don't have as easy access to my keyboard, but I haven't installed a voice pack in mine. Those voice packs sound cool in theory but it seems to me that they'd get kind of samey pretty fast, plus there's only so much that you can gently caress around with it before they 'hey so this is just a program that parrots back a certain sentence when preprogrammed conditions come up, maybe with a randomiser thrown in' starts to shine through - there's a reason those demonstration videos on the tube are usually about five minutes long.
I like the way they do robots on Eve No Jikan, They are required by law to have a hologram over their heads designating they are android, but in an underground cafe they turn them off so they appear human and humans and androids mix.

I got there reasonably quick by stacking VIP passengers, which still net a nice 1 - 3 million but at the cost of taking up a whole cabin. You also can do donation missions. But I get the feeling the party is over, I'm not getting any bulk passenger missions.
But yeah the game progression goes off a cliff. No doubt the game is at the point where people have billions to throw around with nothing much else to do. I get the feeling Frontier is slowly realising the brown sea isn't the best group to take feedback from and the game has sloooowly become less vague with messages informing you of what you've just done.
Well since the change that meant that no matter what you do you will be interdicted by pirates even in high sec space - I stopped playing and put the oculous away

Well the good news is interdictions have been fixed and are no longer nearly impossible to break out of. With two billion in my account I've boarded the Gnosis for shits and giggles.
well the last time i played i undocked from lave and was ganked at the station entrance losing a large hauler and a cargo bay full of rares (i was doing the rare loop)
The thing is he started shooting at me in the station, the station guns were firing on him and he rammed my ship which went "Collision Warning" to You have been killed instantly
