True but at least they would stop screwing up player created content
Cats have a better sense of timing than this... Seriously, given all the time and attention this particular scenario has generated- not to mention 'personal narratives' that got created specifically for and because of this- I'm going to hold out the hope that this has been scripted to build tension; There are just too many ways it could still pan out well for those of us who have taken the time to build up for it- and, yes, a whole crapload of ways that it could go bad.
That having been said- if this does goes south, I for one will not contribute another dime. Doesn't mean I won't play the game, or maybe pick up the occasional shiny- but I won't make the investment onward.

Went to the Gnosis, unsurprised by this outcome, was one of several possible outcomes, so I had some idea of my "risk profile" coming here, and this outcome is well within that.
I still kinda hope *something* that isn't just a bunch of Hydra NHSS is around in the system once the weekly downtime happens and there's something to do.
It's disappointing for sure, but again, unsurprising if this is all it is (stay outside the Unknown Permit area, and get a bunch of Hydra NHSS spawning in system).
FD have never been good at exploiting opportunities for gameplay, even when handed to them on a silver platter. Look how under-utilised things like the following are:
- Non-dockable space structures
- Thargoid Materials (just synthesis of Enzyme Missiles)
- Tissue samples/hearts (virtually no use at all except the Guardian stuff for tissue samples)
- Recon Limpets/Hatch Breakers/Scanners
- Environmental damage effects (like the heat in damaged stations, Thargoid gas clouds and electromagnetic effects around neutron/white dwarves)
- Chain missions
- Tip offs
- Etc.
Players are desparate for something to do... that's why so many went to the Gnosis... frankly, not because of genuine interest, but because it was something different with a potential unique outcome. Instead, we'll probably just get the first damaged megaship, and a new NHSS with Hydras.
Unless something remarkable comes out of tomorrow's CGs or after downtime like a hive ship or a new Thargoid ground structure, I'll be back to the bubble pretty quick.
EDIT: As I was coming home, the whole "Galnet articles tend to come out the night before their release date" crossed my mind, and I wondered if FD had thought about that. Obviously not.

They'll give you a banana colored anaconda skin, just for you Morbad. You don't worry! Fdevs are always on point when they are rewarding their community members [big grin]!
Im bringing in Hydras to finish the job
For me it was 5 hours yesterday and another 2.5 today. Forgot to pin a couple blueprints before I left as well.
the Gnosis jump has been re-prioritized.

Engines will be dead. Just like jaques. Can't move a ship if it has no engines, buddy!

At least the event happened and the outcome was 100% to be expected prior to what ultimately unfolded.
This, however is an unexpected turn of events. It's a big kick in the teeth for everybody that was expecting to be in the cone sector tomorrow.

Does that have a chance to move up or down in priority?
Why not just say delayed
I cannot wait until Eagleboy wakes up and creates a thread explaining why this is good news!

Could be a detour to the place we have been looking for though.
My faith in the game has literally been hanging by a thread all year. I've barely played Elite at all, I've tried but I just keep telling myself that Q4 will make it interesting for me again. I just keep waiting...
But then this Gnosis thing came up and it actually sounded like a fun exploration event, and it got me interested in playing for the first time in many months.
I feel like I just took an arrow to the knee. I can't believe how badly Fdev has fudged up something which could have been so much fun with a minimal of dev effort. I mean how do you frack something like this up this badly? You'd have to actually try real hard at it!
