During last week's Frameshift live Elite Dangerous livestream from Frontier the team confirmed that the recently reworked streaming schedule for Elite Dangerous which sees streams going to just one stream a month does mean just that, that's to say one stream a month not a stream every 4 weeks. The release and streaming schedule for Frontier's other games, in particular the newer titles such as Age of Sigmar and F1 manager are dictating when in any given month Elite Dangerous will see its own dedicated stream. The end result of this is that some months there will be 4 weeks between shows and other months will see longer or shorter periods between the streams. This week Frontier published the full planned schedule of live streams for Elite Dangerous from now through to the end of the year with the next live stream being planned for the 20th of July and focusing on preparation for update 16 which is itself currently scheduled to arrive the first week in August. You'll find a link to the forum post and the full live stream schedule in the description below this video. Buckyball Impressario, Lave Radio Regular and Serial SRV Offender Alec Turner took an unexpected turn this week releasing a start to finish video guide on reaching a Thargoid Titan retrieving tissue samples and then getting the hell out of dodge again. The guide shows Alec using the immediately drop to silent running method of Glaive Evasion during the 1 hyperdiction and 5 interdictions he was subjected to en route to the Oya Titan. Upon reaching the colossal alien mega ship Alec can be seen tickling the Titan with a thermal vent beam to manage the heat on his vessel using the Titan itself to evade unwanted attention and scanning the Titan and then taking samples from various spots on the ship. He also escapes a player interdiction on his way back to last weeks community goal protecting his precious and vulnerable cargo. The video footage is sped up for most of its run time but still comes in at just under 20 minutes long. I'd advise judicious use of the pause button to make sure you're able to read the subtitles Alec has used as it can go by at quite the pace otherwise. All in all there's a bunch of useful tips and information in the video making it a must watch for anyone attempting Titan tissue sampling. As always you'll find a link to the video in the description below. If you missed the announcement on our YouTube community pages during the week then you might not have seen that Renie and I are very excited to be hosting Pitcon a one day elite dangerous and gaming event for the community on September 16th at the rather swish belfry hotel in Nottingham in the UK. The event is a chance to meet and chat with fellow commanders we will also be featuring playable retro consoles, sessions of the elite dangerous miniatures tabletop game hosted by no less than commander phoenix defyre of lave radio, a charity raffle in aid of special effect featuring some awesome gaming hardware as prizes amongst other things we're also stupidly excited to have elites very own commander to coso performing live music in the evening including a virtual duet performance with commander alzo. The developers of the new indie space game starship simulator will also be hosting a presentation about the game and you'll have the chance to ask them questions and get a hands on demo of the game if you missed it we published a video introducing starship simulator earlier this week which you'll find linked on screen now. And if all that wasn't enough today I'm very excited to exclusively announce that the event will be attended by frontier developments who are sending along the fabulous sally an aft from the community team and some of the games developers including the much loved derrin who although no longer developing elite has been around the game for so many years it's always wonderful to speak with him we're also hugely excited to have the lovely robin and roger from the audio and development teams respectively. All in all it promises to be one very special day packed with commanders, space games, retro gaming, tabletop games, developers, prizes and good food and hospitality late into the night. We will even be presenting an edition of witch space news live at the event. We very much look forward to seeing a few of you there.
