The video production competition hosted by CMDR Auraxxus Animus entitled We Are Elite that we reported on at the start of the year concluded this week with the announcement of winning entries. The competition tasked its entrance with creating a cinematic style video using in-game footage on the subject of We Are Elite What does Elite mean to you? The competition was judged by a panel of three community members who took into account criteria such as cinematic quality, storytelling, editing and sound. The top three videos in reverse order were produced by CMDR Nugstar, CMDR Riley Angel and CMDR Protocops. You'll find a forum thread with a complete list of all the winners in the description below together with a link to the playlist on YouTube of all the submissions to the competition. Congratulations to everyone who participated. The East India Trading Company, the player group and faction that specializes in supplying some of the rarer commodities needed to unlock engineers in the game is playing host to some special offers in celebration of the Eid Festival right now. Right now any pilot supplying goods to the East India Company will receive double EI credits for their trouble and likewise if you're buying from the East India Company then all goods will be half price. To take advantage of the offers contact the East India Company via their discord server which you'll find linked below this video. The special offers last until the 5th of May. ED Co-Pilot is running a special promotion at the moment and it comes with the chance of winning 1 billion credits. If you're unfamiliar with ED Co-Pilot then it can be a tough one to summarize succinctly as it comes with such a wide range of features but I'll take a run at it. ED Co-Pilot is a second screen voice or hot key driven companion application for Elite Dangerous that can with a voice command key or tablet press automatically plot a course to one of its own destination bookmarks it can search and find tradable commodities interstellar factors points of interest or services like material traders for you it has an on screen guidance computer for finding coordinates on a planet surface and it can also provide information on stations planetary bodies mind commodity best prices and far too many other features to mention a large part of all this information can be delivered with a computer generated voice and it can also add voices to NPC generated messages it's a seriously impressive piece of work by its developer commander Razafrag. One of ED Co-Pilot's other numerous functions is to manage and record a plethora of time trial challenges in the game and it's here that Razafrag is centering the promotion. If you complete any one of ED Co-Pilot's time trials between now and the end of April you'll be entered into the prize draw to win the star prize of 1 billion credits or one of the two runner-up prizes of half a billion credits the system allows for one entry per commander account and you don't need to be the best time you just need to have completed and recorded a time which the application will do automagically for you just to underline that again you just need to go through a time trial in ED Co-Pilot you don't need to be competent or fast or fill out a form or any of that nonsense you just need to install ED Co-Pilot which is its own reward quite frankly and then drive or fly a trial that's it. To get started there's a link to the ED Co-Pilot website in the description below this video. Just a quick heads up that Frontier tweeted yesterday to say that they've pre-recorded a Powerplay 2.0 interview ready for the next edition of Frameshift Live which is due on the 24th of April and Arthur told me retweeted that post saying that we can expect around an hour of conversation from the interview and in case you missed it earlier in the week our video that includes a first look at the new supercruise overcharge capable Frameshift drive is linked on screen for you now. These new hybrid Thargoid Frameshift drives are not currently engineerable and are all Class C but the boost to speed that they are capable of delivering in supercruise is quite a thing to behold. Science in the community with regard to the drives specific usage is still very ongoing at the moment but if you want to pick one up and try it for yourself then look up for high-tech systems with outfitting or you can search on inara.cz for Frameshift drives with the SCO suffix in their title. Did you check out the We Are Elite videos? Are you trading with the East India company and will you be trying to win one billion credits from ED Co-Pilot? Let us know in the comments below. That's it for now. Thanks very much for watching. We'll be back later this week with more videos. Until then, 07 Commanders, follow the Greens on the way out and do keep clear of the toast rack. We very much look forward to seeing you next time.
