Greetings Commanders - Another Monday swirls in.

Discovery Scanner has landed once again - a casual, gentle read, this one.



A few little recaps, a heads up on this week's flavour of livestream, along with the spotlight shining on creative Commanders once again.

Full article now live at: https://www.elitedangerous.com/news/discovery-scanner-20032023



With that, Commanders, here's wishing you a pleasant week ahead in your journey.

We'll be in touch with any updates to information as we continue on, alongside.

Thanks for the stream headsup.
No hint on whether we exhausted the Seo Jin-Ae mystery or not? :(

That's always a tough one. Any kind of answer would be giving things away to some degree. Same as it was with the question "Was it an oversight that the cinematic showed Salvation on the Nemesis FC instead of the Bright Sentinel megaship?"

GalNet will tell you.
I guess it will be either "thanks for your help", or "search continues"

If we get one that is. I'm under the impression that the writing team enjoys a (well deserved) break in times of pew pew kaboom sssrsrsrsrrrrs grrrrrrr voooom-swish trrrrrrrrrrrrr...

Surely this is enough for anyone ? ;)

To repeat statements of reassurance from last week:


UPDATE 15.


There's nothing further to add today, following recent insight into the target window for release being the end of April. This still remains as the primary objective o7


CONSOLE COPY PORTAL.


The reopening of the 'Console Copy Portal', for those wishing to bring their console Commanders across to PC, remains an open goal. There is no news as yet on an expected date for reopening, but we will be in touch as soon as we know more.


Keep an eye on the official Elite Dangerous Forums and our social channels for any ad hoc game news updates that may arise, throughout the course of the forthcoming week ahead.

Looks like we've got one and... well, as it doesn't say anything concrete, I would say it suggest there's more to find

Weird, I'd suggest the opposite.
What we already found was mentioned in text. No further clues, incentive to go out there and keep searching, nothing.

I think it's the other way around - the article describes what was found - since it was found they can write about it few days later - describes some confusion around findings (writers read forums and discord I would guess) and that's it. It's something to let other players outside of this community know what's going on. This, in my mind, suggests there's more. Otherwise I think Galnet would say - search over, D2 ship found, D-2 kidnapped by Aliens (or whatever).

I think we're talking past each other. There's always a GalNet after a finished search, shedding some light on it for the rest of the community.

Of course the story will continue, and we will be part of it again later, but the current episode is over. Otherwise the article would hint at her being somewhere "out there".

We obviously see those things in different light. I think this article is just a flavour piece to keep everyone more or less on the same page.

I just think we would get more obvious clue at the end of the "thread" if this would be the end of that part of the story. Final discovery would be more obvious, Galnet article would be more clearly stating what happened and most likely Tanner would send his thanks for our efforts, saying he will be in touch if he knows more or something like that.
I mean it all started with Tanner message - he should be the one to tell you that you don't need to look anymore.
