Just leaves me a bit cold chaps. I've said it before and I'll say it again. You need to stop shoving random crap into the game that doesn't matter. I didn't/don't care about the Thargoids because I've got nothing to lose, I have no sense of ownership, nothing that stands out as a risk because of my time invested. And now this, what I can only assume is some addition to the Thargoid/Guardian story line, is yet another thing that just doesn't matter. I'm not going to gain anything, same as I'm not going to lose anything in the context of me in the universe. Make it matter, give me a sense of place in my universe before seeking to either take it away or threaten it. I genuinely believe that you're developing the wrong part of the game, putting the proverbial cart before the horse.

And why put the xeno tech behind a large grind-wall? if Thargoids are such a threat and we all should partake in defending the universe, then the tools we need shouldn't be hard to get. I'm sure the super-powers are concerned as well, so why aren't they giving the war effort an extra support? Perhaps add xeno-weapons under super-power rewards instead of the current tech.

This! The idea to switch my weapons and change the loadout completly whenever I want to fight aliens doesn't help either

Agree, but then they'd lose what is so often quantified as 'content' to give the game longevity. It's a grind mechanic and one that is echoed constantly throughout the game in lieu of actually building a living breathing universe. Go here, do/collect/shoot this, earn credits, buy stuffs, buy bigger stuffs, rinse, repeat should not be ED in a nutshell but it is. Even this exploration addition coming in season 4 is broadly meaningless because fundamentally the thing you're looking at hasn't appreciably been expanded upon. But on this front I'm ok with seeing the mechanic developed with more to be seen added later. The gardians/Thargoids is using the existing mechanics to give the impression of content where really all it does is highlight the lack thereof. Again, I don't care because I have nothing to lose.

When there’s an update usually the server goes down about 07:00 GMT and comes back up sometime later, sometimes around noon local, my memory is poor but I think the last update didn’t come online until around 18:00 GMT. I was just browsing this thread to see if there’s any release livestream. FD seem to be getting worse at keeping us informed.

So current FD expectation is to be back up around 15:00-16:00 BST;
but I won’t hold my breath as I remember the slippage on the last update!

and why wasn’t this release livestream mentioned in last week’s newsletter?
or in the livestream thread?
and why hasn’t the newsletter thread been updated since #229, 3rd June??
:rolleyes:

I was under impression that hoomans use whatever they have in front of serios threat. But no, we are gonna name half-year battle-tested weapons "experimental" and handicap our pilots by let them use only 4 guns at the time. So IMMMMEEERSIIIVE and NARRATIIIVE if u ask me.

TL;DR
When we could mount more than 4 AX/Guardian weapons?
