Update 15, the Upcoming Feature Rework and More
Greetings Commanders,

We trust that you have been enjoying Update 14 and all the action the Thargoid War is bringing to the bubble. Amidst everything going on, we are taking a moment to update you on our upcoming plans.

Update 15
Update 15 is set to build upon the narrative and unlock the next major stage of the Thargoid War. This will be among the biggest moments in the game to date and we’re excited to see how you react. To allow the necessary time for development and ensure the update meets expectations, Update 15 will release in May. An exact date will be confirmed closer to the time.

Major Feature Rework
Last year we announced a major update that would rework a long standing feature. This is still being investigated, however a number of changes (not least the Thargoid War itself) have required... Read more

Greetings Commanders,

As mentioned as part of Discovery Scanner this week, we alerted you of pending balance changes in relation to Thargoid War activity, to better reflect recent player actions and feedback.

These will be incoming as part of tomorrow's routine maintenance tick.

[HR][/HR]

Thargoid War balance changes.
[LIST]
[*]Previously unpopulated systems that are now under Thargoid Control or Alert states will be easier to push back.
[*]Thargoids will deprioritize expanding into unpopulated systems.
[/LIST]

[HR][/HR]

Additionally, Commanders, you will be wise to keep your eyes wide for the latest news from GalNet tomorrow...
We hear someone may be about to author us some important information...

Here's hoping you're having a great week so far.

Greetings Commanders,

The Indra Megaship is jumping across the bubble to contribute to the Thargoid War effort this Thursday. It's destination is HIP 28128, a short distance from the front line.

Some of you will have noticed that the Indra Megaship has recently stopped offering new missions. This was done in preparation for the jump, after which the mission boards will refill.

Greetings Commanders.

For transparency and keeping you more globally in the loop, today we will be closing a notable ticket on the Issue Tracker, which shared thoughts and concerns on the general consistency of timings for the 'BGS tick' across galaxy systems.

Issue Tracker ticket for reference: //issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/41735
[LIST]
[*]"BGS tick is still pretty inconsistent and not happening everywhere at the same time".
[/LIST]

A personal message from our dev team!

[HR][/HR]

The numerous components of the BGS simulation (economy, faction, etc) have had multiple updates over the years to ensure these take the least amount of time and happen as close to one another as possible. However, due to the vastness of the data requ... Read more

We'd like thank you all for the feedback you provided. It has been immensely helpful in working with the developers to plan the direction of future changes.

Greetings Commanders.

Some time ago, Hero Ferrari was being a little problematic with sending out invites to Commanders, despite them achieving the correct unlock criteria for Combat Zones.

It's been noted that this appears to be happening again/still, in some cases, so to dig deeper into her stubbornness, could I ask those of you who are encountering this issue to contribute to the following issue tracker ticket being closely tracked, please:

Keeping a close eye on this and I'll update the thread on progress when I have it.

A little request:
Following a little derailment in last week's Discovery Scanner thread, can I politely ask that comments in here aren't drawn toward a holding ground for discussing known issues and queries too far out of discussions around the article, please?
It's not that we don't want to hear them or read them, it just helps a ... Read more

Good day, fellow irrelevant specks of stardust adrift in the magnitude of the infinite cosmos. It's time to reflect on the GalNet news stories of the week as a healthy distraction from the existential realisation that all our actions are ultimately meaningless!
