Question for fellow #EliteDangerous commanders: I started the current CG last week and was finding many Power CZs that counted in various systems around HIP87621, but now I can’t seem to find any. I’m aligned Fed and there is only one target system left with no CZs. What am I missing?

Some of this weeks #EliteDangerous adventures. Deployed my Dodec, and built another coriolos station. These names might be familiar, if you're just another face in a red jumpsuit... #MST3K Also, got into a fight with an elite Anaconda.

Pretty excited I am able to bring my Sag A* Sidewinder out of retirement for this CG! (I wanted something with a small footprint) Yes. Years ago I used this ship to fly to and from Sag-A* :-)

Don’t lock the Dodec behind a permanent ARX wall.
It seriously devalues the #EliteDangerous moniker and sets a very disappointing precedent for the game.
I urge to you treat the game with the respect it deserves, rather than thrashing it for a few short term cents.

As Donald Trump's shutdown delays SNAP benefits, California Volunteers and the California National Guard are on the ground to support food banks and families in need.
With expanded aid in San Diego, California is showing the rest of the nation what real leadership looks like.

I’m sorry but my 401k won’t buy me food right now…
Trump denies grocery prices are up and then says people will be fine because "their 401ks are up." (Nearly half of Americans have no retirement savings)
