    If you play or want to play Elite Dangerous, this remains the premier source to be aware of the comings and goings of the community surrounding it! May as well be included as an in-game feed. Thanks for keeping at it, all!

  • I mean, it’s a great show but…

    Can someone please tell Psykit to stop shouting.

    It just dominates the whole show and it’s making me want to stop listening. The bossiness and the excessive swearing is obnoxious and boring.

    Other than that, love the show.

  • Revisit 2021 - went downhill

    Original review kept below for posterity.

  • Love this show

    Love this show, my Wednesday commute wouldn’t be the same. Gives me my Elite Dangerous fix mid week and love hearing the veterans thoughts on the game, updates and news. I’m a relative noob having only gotten into Elite during lock down 1 but Iv hardly put it down since. Cheers for the regular content guys this is come commitment and achievement.

Lave Radio Episode 587 - Mouldy Eczema
Q: What advice would you give commanders who might be thinking about heading to Colonia, either for the first time or as a return trip?
My advice would be to prep thoroughly, pin the necessary engineering recipes, and consider using Fleet Carriers Owners Club to reduce the burden of the journey; the trip is worth it but requires planning.
Lave Radio Episode 569 "Hiding Your Kestrel in the Tussocks"
Q: Are you going to be spending arcs on the Kestrel?
Responses varied, with some stating they won't spend arcs for early access, while others expressed excitement about the ship's features.
Lave Radio Episode 561 - Foot Stuff
Q: So, Psykit, how's your week been?
It's been alright. Recovery from stress, diving back into games like Elite and Mass Effect for comfort.
Lave Radio Episode 548 - Frontier... locked?
Q: How do you feel about the recent Vanguard update and its features?
The Vanguard update feels like it was an infrastructure update that facilitates gameplay but doesn't bring anything new and lacks essential features like a commodity market for squadron carriers.

Q: What will listeners find different in your new album?
Listeners will find a collection of songs that are interactive and in various styles reflecting the Elite Dangerous universe.
