Flight Assist

Are you an Elite: Dangerous CMDR looking for an insightful, refreshing, positive, and entertaining take on the galaxy? Flight Assist gives you just that. Every time, we interview a different CMDR, community leader, player organization, or content creator, learning who they are, what they do, and why they do it. It's inspiration and motivation for you to start that next expedition, jump into the next fight, make the next trade, and take the next steps. Flight Assist is ON.

In honour of our new series, Flight Assist Recap, we thought it might be a nice idea to sit down with two guests that we first had on the show nearly two years ago and find out what's changed in the last 24 months! Also any excuse to get the four of us together is a blast. Join us while we chat to two of our favourite humans, CrispyTaytortot and Captain Flint.

If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck. However in this case it's actually a couple of married CMDRs! MD Mallardi and Motherducker Von Quack talk all things Elite, the difference in their playstyles, and exactly how well they work together to achieve their goals in the galaxy!

You might know him as Newell Turner, you may recognise him as TheDourScotsman if you watch Elite on twitch, and if you listen to Lave Radio you just might recognise him as the Tech Guru Chris Mk IV. Come find out a little bit more about one of the men behind the virtual desk in the Orange Sidewinder and his Elite Dangerous story.

This time we have been joined by the fantastic Eralm_237, who rounds off a quartet of wonderfully diverse women with vastly different Elite experiences. Eralm's story is certainly unique and full of the nerdy goodness that we've become accustomed to in this podcast.

We have been asking her for ages, and she finally said yes! This episode, we sit down for a chat with the absolute GOAT that is CMDR Kaytianna and learn all about her Elite Dangerous story.

Psykit doesn't really play favorites, but this is definitely a favourite of hers. Can't think of why.

Also, Katie's amazing - did we mention she's amazing?

This episode, we had the chance to talk with The Admiral herself, Selene Stardragon. This commander has one of the coolest communities and is definitely worth getting to know. One need only look at her immersive  ship-naming convention, her Vtuber avatar's custom uniform, or a single stream to realize there's something special and magical about her. Oh, and she's a fantastic pilot - after all, you GOTTA be a great pi...

Everyone should have a KayteeKhaos in their life. A wonderful human being providing a wholly unique angle on the Elite Dangerous and streaming sphere, an advocate for equality, and the easiest yes to a stream team application that FAP HQ have ever received. Mal and Psykit finally get a chance to sit with her for about an hour and discuss her Elite story, and also entirely lose Psykit with references to science fiction she's ne...

If you play Elite Dangerous, chances are you use a tool or two. And if you're into BGS, you've probably used EliteBGS.app (and if not, you should). Our guest this week is the CMDR behind EliteBGS, the  BGS Bot for Discord, and a handful of other tools. In addition to being an inventive and prolific programmer, he's also a great CMDR and human.

We love getting to talk to new people on Flight Assist. CMDR Arkidogg is the kind of person who Mal and Psykit thought they'd never get to speak to, and are all the better off for having this conversation. A little newer to Elite and with an entirely different play schedule to a lot of folks, he manages to use his playtime efficiently and makes it work. Come and find out how in this week's episode!
