No, because this was an amazing opportunity to give us some cool narrative driven content. But they killed the suspense and spoiled the story.
And then when the ship was attacked, which we already knew was going to happen - all the bugs... I mean in the context of this story - the NFZ makes no sense completely. Gnosis shooting players' flaks also makes no sense whatsoever. And if you make a mistake and do fire in the NFZ, then you're being teleported 1200 LY away when you die...
It's the way they implemented this, seemingly without testing it internally first.
No mate, this is a total failure in my eyes. It's not defendable on any front.
Do Fdev actually test anything before releasing it to live? Or you know, play their game as a player?
The answer is painfully obvious...

Not quite instadeath as some people have described I undocked in my Diamondback explorer with feeble shields and a mining later and just managed to jump before being hit with a thargoid missile so I'm safe but unfortunately in the ship I'm in I can't do anything to help the fight.

Bugs and quirks notwithstanding, this turn of events is infinitely better than what was to be expected from the "leaked" GalNet article.
An actual active event.
A real threat.
Player agency.
I am reconciled
(For whatever this is worth.)
By the way - are we actually sure that 'Canonn' wasn't involved in the planning of this outcome?
The whole thing is quite cleverly set up: bring thousands of players together (= create a "hot spot") and then throw them into (shared) action.
The missing outfitting possibility (for all these explorer builts without shields and weapons) and the reported issues are unfortunate, of course (I am not there to confirm them).
But they do not devaluate the idea itself and will hopefully be fixed soon.

A fair point well made.
**Hits the Yaffle button**
“YYAAAAAARRRKK!”
Looks like the Gnosis jump turned out exactly like a lot of players always wanted Thargoid attacks to look like.
Form afar it looks great
Might even come to help if help is needed.
Oh boiiii, is this hilarious

You complain about the spoikler, but then proceeded to ignore the prominent point that was hinted within the spoiler as to how to deal with the primiximty of the aliens to the ship. Instead willfully discharging weapons if the zone and then complaining that the crime is punished as per the rules???
Very easily. Firing in the no fire zone is not "griefing". Killing you is. And that's a bounty, not a fine. You shouldn't be teleported to a detention center just because of a stupid fine if you are not wanted.

Yes, we're sure, a canonn councilor issued a apology and statement several pages back.
He is especially angry at the fact that fdev sabotaged what was supposed to be a exploration focused event.
Gnosis was packed to the gills with ships and people were already calling it a TARDIS.
Makes me wonder - a bit - why Commanders think it should have a never ending supply of replacement ships, should you get killed, in the NFZ ..
So, you were 'rescued' to the California Nebula huh?

AN UPDATE? Here's an update, you crushed players hopes, dreams of new possible content because yall are just milking us for money and time and giving us disappointment. This is the damn Salome and Jacques events all over again. And people are being destroyed and sent back to the bubble for defending the very ship you people intentionally threw off course and sending them back to the bubble making them not even want to play or fly back out again (many in COMBAT SHIPS aka low jump ranges).
So, what happened? Did the S&R drive away the thargoids? Did they pacify them? How? With tons meta alloys? WHy would they be carrying tons of meta alloys? Or do they have Guardian weapons? Did they have to farm Obelisks to unlock them too?
I'm confused...

Any new CGs announced yet? I'm ready to disembark from the Witchhead Science center.
Just proving again if needed they don t play their own game and don t give a damn about it.
Will by design or accident - this is game play people are crying out for. Do it again (just need the fire zone thing sorted) !

LOL, what - no smoke blowing today?!:O
In other news - Mansearch (& I use the term in its loosest possible sense) underway for Stigbob & Eagleboy; 'last seen uttering smug platitudes & tugging their forelocks furiously shortly before bursting into tears & running off into the woods, screaming "Why do you forsake us, Lord David...whyyyyyyyy?".
Local police have issued the following statement: "
NB: Mickey-taking is good for the soul; I'm fortunate, in that I can take some ribbing & then return it (tenfold)...what do you think, '
