When copy/paste by the intern goes wrong.

well, the thoughts at Fdev were that 2.4 was an under-appreciated release, so we're getting a chance to try it again. 3.3 has been thoroughly beta tested now, so there's no rush to get it out.

Looking forward to seeing the Thargoids invade (again)

Oh but the snowflakes would claim that's "griefing" and not "PvP in a DANGEROUS galaxy".

To answer the OP's question, while the message is wrong on the server down message, patch 2.4, "The Return" was the return of the Thargoids from previous games.

Oh god, please no...

All those stations you thought you were fixing? You wake up in the shower and it was all a dream

And worst of all... no 90% reduction. It's all the 10 Million tons of The Oracle again
