I think anything can be explained in game, if you so desire to.
My point is, not āeverything can beā so the issue is where to expend oneās energy if there isnāt actually anything to resolve?
FD confirmed they inject narrative, eg a Cmdr could theoretically fly through a system scan everything and move on. Two weeks later FD inject a Thargoid base or something?
FD affirmed they have to be really careful not to cause such an aspect; but it establishes the reality ācontentā and by that logic āinformationā and ācontextā were absent prior to that point and as such change by their will - they are essentially the dungeon master, we are not in control.
FD changes things.
Granted FD might have a huge and very well thought out reality, but most of it - we simply donāt see. We could guess but who is to say itās correct, and likewise FD could well be absorbing concepts and adaptingā¦changing conceptsā¦
I donāt think a āgranularā viewpoint will resolve anything. Weāve seen theories postulating many brilliant concepts but wholly they were most all projections, based upon the flimsiest of information- mine own included, but I think we give FD far too much credit.
Like comets, they exist in game, but also they donāt. They obviously help some aspect of the Stella forge, but FD canāt / wonāt insert them, probably because the engine canāt build bodies below a certain dimensionā¦ so we have magic āghostā bodiesā¦ please donāt get us started about the nonsense behind telepresence- these are all invisible āconcessionsā and a fictional system of reality to enable the logic of the game to persist.
Please let us recall how Allen Stroud very clearly established how and why some lore was certainly not cannon, and yet some Cmdrs still persist to ignore that insight.
I hope there is such depth. I really do, it gives many Cmdrs some levels of pleasure to engage with, this is after all a game, blaze your own trails, but sometimes we must stop and assess what is / isnāt a practical application of energy.
Case in point the DW missionsā¦ FD NEVER admitted these were removed. They ALLOWED customers to engage actions which had ZERO applications in gameā¦. Because as they admitted (granted via an interrogation via customer support) to have REMOVED said contentā¦to have in their word paused that storyā¦ the data still persisted historically but had no resolution, FD paused itā¦ granted whatever built fir that probably is still in game, and maybe we can hypothetically identify this, but we should not be so arrogant to state our projections are concrete, in everything there exists a level of probability. Iām fine for Cmdrs to say stars exist in game which are made of diamond, but only if that statement is followed by or is presented with āmaybeā - āpossiblyā - āfeelā?
If that probability is closer to certain then please explain, but be expectant that even if a theory is 87% probably certain, it still might not be
itās a projection based upon the information available and still has to be reviewed with scepticism.
You cannot trust data on its own merits. This is a fictional universe and it is mailable.
