Exoplanet Ross 128b an Earthlike World?
M
erlin has just been discovered! (For those of you who are familiar with the Elite universe….Ross 128 is the system which is host to the Merlin colony, an earth-like world which actually is a moon of the gas giant Aster in the game.) The similarity of Merlin and this discovery might be astonishing! I certainly hope the folks at Frontier are paying attention to this news item.

- that confirms it. I saw a tourist beacon for "The Hutton Mug"
I was "passing" Alpha Centauri, and noticed a run to deliver 2 units of win for just under Cr300k.

- Congrats then, you are officially a Hutton Trucker! o7
Caught me the first time too, I'd never heard of it and just took a mission there. Found out afterwards it's something of a right of passage for Elite Dangerous CMDRs. Only place in the galaxy to buy the Hutton Mug. 25-Apr-18 07:50 am EDTCongrats then, you are officially a Hutton Trucker! o7 Caught me the first time too, I'd never heard of it and just took a mission there.
