Prof. Palin announces technological breakthrough

This morning Professor Palin and Admiral Aden Tanner called in a surprise press conference. Following his swift escape, Palin addressed the sudden Thargoid attack:

"The assault on our research base came as a surprise to all of us. Once again it were independent pilots who stepped up in face of disaster. Luckily we had just finished work on a prototype of a new technology, that should prove invaluable in humanity's defense against the Thargoid menace."

Admiral Tanner of Aegis research had this to say:

"The successful escape from Maia not only saved the lives of vital research team members, but also provided us with the first field test of our new AX technology. The goal of this classified operation was to develop a new drive system that would enable capital class ships to perform hyperspace jumps on any day of the week. By our estimates we should be able to mass produce the new mega drive by the end of the year and it will be available for purchase to any Pilots' Federation squadron."

A source close to Palin said that he also developed a new frame shift drive base on guardian technology. It has double the jump range of a fully engineered FSD, but takes double the time for the drive to spool before jumping.

Whoop de do, lame fleet carrier content that most won't even bother with. Frontier is really lacking on interesting stuff these days. Players from what I've seen want actual Guardian ships or Guardian FSD's that are engineering-capable so we can get to places we want faster, even if it's just traversing the bubble. Fleet carrier stuff is lame and will not be used by most.

Are they? Or is it just maybe they are releasing stuff that you don't find interesting? There's a difference. Also, that's a rhetorical question.

Players want lots of things. All of it different.

Each to their own. Many, many other Cmdr's are extremely excited for FC's and what they could bring to the game.

Is it nice in your echo chamber ?

Think about it, a lot of players are soaked in money. Fleet Carriers will be a cash sink and nothing else... and this is Frontier we are talking about, the studio that has so many people divided across so many projects they don't commit to any one thing anymore. Fleet Carriers will most likely be squadron focused, and the players who do make a single person squadron just to have their own fleet carrier will be just chasing yet again another endless grind for "player narrative" to afford one and then sink cash into it.

It's just more grind... another grind, not even a fun one at that.
