I remember a really funny story. I was at a trading post, and there was a player trying to sell his ship. He had put a really high price on it, and when people asked him why it was so expensive, he said it was 'because it has special powers'. He then proceeded to make his ship do a little dance. Everyone was cracking up. It was just a really light - hearted and funny moment in the game. The whole trading post was filled with laughter for a while.
Once, I was in a dogfight. I thought I was being really sneaky, hiding behind a large space structure. But then I accidentally hit the boost button and flew right out into the open in front of my enemy. My enemy was so surprised that he didn't even shoot at me for a few seconds. I just hovered there, feeling really stupid, and then we both started laughing. It was a moment of pure hilarity in the middle of a battle in Elite Dangerous.
A memorable one was when I was in a nebula area. Fuel was scarce in that region. But I found a small star that was just perfect for fuel scooping. I quickly got my ship into position and the fuel scoop did its job. It was like finding an oasis in a desert.
One time in Elite Dangerous, I was docking at a station. I misjudged the speed and ended up slamming into the docking bay doors. My ship was all banged up, and the station control was like 'What on earth are you doing?' It was so embarrassing but also hilarious.
In 2020, my local community organized a drive - by birthday parade for a 90 - year - old neighbor. The cars were all decorated with balloons and signs. But one car's balloons got loose and started flying all over the place. It was chaos but also really funny. It made the old man laugh a great deal.
One memorable one is about a man who left his beloved old hat to his parrot in his will. The parrot would then perch on the hat and cackle as if it knew it was now the owner of this special hat.
Well, there's a story where a person called 911 because their ice cream cone melted too fast. They were so distraught over losing their treat that they thought it was a major crisis. Another is when someone called because their cat was stuck on the roof, but the cat came down right as the firefighters arrived. It was hilarious.
The one where a cat got stuck in a box and thought it was being sneaky while everyone could see it. It was quite funny.
Exciting adventures are key. For example, like exploring uncharted areas full of unknown threats. It adds a sense of mystery and danger.
Well, there's a lot of variety in Elite Dangerous fanfiction. There are stories that take place in the future of the game's timeline, imagining how the galaxy has evolved. Some fanfictions are inspired by the unique visuals of the game, like the beautiful nebulae and the imposing space stations. They might describe a pilot's awe - inspiring experience as they pass through a colorful nebula for the first time. There are also those that explore the darker side of the Elite Dangerous universe, like the existence of space pirates and their brutal raids on unsuspecting traders.
A steward in a small town library had an interesting incident. He was shelving books when he accidentally knocked over a whole stack of large, heavy books. The noise was so loud that it startled everyone in the library. He then slipped on one of the fallen books and landed in a rather ungraceful heap. Everyone had a good laugh, and he later joked about how the books were trying to keep him from working too hard.
A memorable one is when a Winston player went into his Primal Rage form at the wrong time. He thought the enemy team was about to attack, but they were actually retreating. So he ended up chasing after their backs, growling and swinging his arms, looking really silly as they just ran away from him without any real fight.
