Community Countdown livestream - We need you!

Hello Commanders,

We will hold a stream for the Frontier Developmenst Community Countdown Livestream on http://www.twitch.tv/elitepve

For this we need commanders willing to join in the game to demonstrate true co-op gameplay.
It would be nice if we had commanders with different kind of ships to be able to show the type of gameplay we agree on. (For example a big trading ship with fighter escorts, or mining with escort needs a mining ship, of course)

The timeslot for our stream is yet to be determined, I am waiting for feedback from FD.
Potential stream hosts so far are Corium and I. If you are able and willing to stream for the group, post here.

What we can discuss already is the where and what. I have put up this simple poll to see what you think we should be showing on the stream. I will put up another poll on where we should be later.
You can choose 2 options above to give you some flexibility.

I will post further information as it arrives.


Here the original post on the FD forum by Edward:

We're looking to put together a schedule of livestreams over the launch of Elite: Dangerous.

What's in it for you? We'll tweet out details of your livestream across all of our social media channels, and we will advertise your stream on our own Twitch channel too.

All you have to do is send me a PM with details of why you'd like your stream to be considered, or post in the thread below. It won't hurt to email me at elewis@frontier.co.uk either. The stream can last one hour, two, or even three? It's up to you (we'll settle on these details when we work out numbers).

Depending on how much interest we get for this depends on how many streams we do! I'm hoping to have enough to stream for 24 - 42 hours around the launch day, as well as a few hours each day leading up to it.

Get in touch.

Ed

My vote is of course trading with escort but the problem with that is I'm not sure how the escort would help me when I'm getting attacked, as I'm not sure you can even find me once I'm pulled out of FSD. I think the most realistic at the moment would be just fighting some warzones, but I vote for the trades anyway!

When you leave Supercruise you leave behind a Framshift wake. If you target that and exit Supercruise in "safe distance and speed" you should drop into the same instance.

In that case, we should do some trade runs! Profits don't matter, but maybe run some "high risk" routes through Anarchy systems or Imperial space for those of us allied with the Federation. We will use Mad Mags as bait!

Edit: Do you need a wake scanner to do this?

I believe you do.

Next question : can a wake be scanned by several different commanders, or would they have to do in in turns, each commander scanning the wake of the commander in front?

Not for dropping out of SC. You approach it just like a station or an USS and drop out.

And for jumping from system to system, we just talk to each other, won't we? ;)

Trading with escort. I'm in a Hauler at present well, hauling. Not very 'avago 'ero really is it? I haven't enough credits for a Cobra at the time of writing this post so (unless my finances improve when the stream goes out) either I stay in the Tranny and be escorted or I get in a Viper and do the escorting.

Either way, I'm easy to any interested parties.

I'm in a Cobra at the moment and would escort. I think the one streaming should not be the trader or miner as the images probably look much better from an escorts viewpoint. Depending on our time slot the streamer would be Corium or me as it stands at the moment.

I can't stream, but if I'm free when you do it, I can play extra.

Voted for Hauler and escorts. I'm presently in a Cobra and can afford to kit it out for combat.
