When People Ate People, A Strange Disease Emerged
For decades, a rare disease crawled across Papua New Guinea. When scientists realized what was behind kuru, it caught everyone by surprise. But similar diseases can still be transmitted through food.

Check log 4, paragraph 3: "Our ancestors chose to remain on this vessel, centuries ago, and leave our original destination behind." So wherever they were supposed to be going, is long since behind them...
Which Nebula is the Chaplain talking about?
Which Nebula is the Chaplain talking about?
Doesn't matter. Their desire to stay on a ship with no hope or expansion and a place they've admitted they can't sterilize with their tech is a form of madness. Like it or not, they are getting off that ship. Forcing their kids to live their lives in a ship, never basking in a warm day on a real planet, never going where they want with ease, is utter madness. Plus like I said, sell the ship, it's theirs after all, turn it into tourism or a museum piece and give them a ship of equal size these days but with FSD tech/modern medicine/fresh supplies, they can go and drift however long they want and then come back, or head into the void out of the galaxy.
The moment they sent that distress call for help, is the moment they rejoined the populace, and honestly they have lived such sheltered lives they cannot fathom how pointless their little adventure is since the journey that took ages, is now doable in like...5 minutes at most ... with a smallest size E rated FSD....and a tiny fuel tank...
Ok.
So, anyone got any idea which nebula the Chaplain means?

Since there aren't any between their current location and Sol, where they presumably started from it's more like a reference to the vagaries of the "less rigid spiritual philosophy" as in nebulous, without form.Which Nebula is the Chaplain talking about?
So impatient, lah! You couldn't wait just one more minute...
"well.. ehmm... you've not gone that far in the last thousand years actually... Hutton Orbital... that's a far place! Even if it's only 4 LY from the Earth...ehm... yes... and no sorry we can't disembark you on an Earth Like World... It seems that our faster than light ships are blocked by an invisible wall when we try to land there... eheh something in our technological development took the wrong turn but we still don't know where exactly... ahahah. Now please accept this canister of onion head and let's forget our problems!"
And how less pointless is "adventure" of citizens of Earth, flying in circles around one star?
They traded some comforts of living on a planet for living in a space monastery flying towards unknown. For all intents and purposes this is their "planet". I don't think they care how fast they're going and at least their outside view is always changing.
However, what's going on inside that kind of isolationist colony living on the dying world is interesting subject. I can't quite recall, but I have a feeling there must've been an episode of Star Trek that was about something like that.
I see a CZ CG: Protect the Generation Ship v Nuke it ..... the players decide
I consult my crystal ball device and tell you: would this CG happen and the community would rally to defend the generation ship, the purple-haired open-only guys would use their secret stealth mode (called solo) to successfully nuke the ship.
I think you may have that the wrong way around.
Sent my Rescue Scout in earlier to scan the ship for weak points.
Didn't last long.
They appear to be defending the plague barge.

The game doesn't support mechanics to nuke the thing. So of course, that's what they do.
The livestream with Paige and the voice actors revealed FD don't tightly control the actors when they read the script. That way, they can give a more realistic performance. So it's not surprising there are little differences between what is typed and what you hear.
Well let's hope the story-writers make something of this, rather than fizzling out in the manner of the 'new Thargoid variant' at Palin's old base.
I wish this game had more intuitive features.... like imagine if pulsing a Thargoid Probe or something near the generation ship would result in Frontier knowing that someone had done that and thus eventually it would be attacked like a station (or at the very least show up and scare the people on the ship). Force their hand to get off the ship.

Checked out the Galconda just now, weirdly enough the logs didn't have any voice over - or at least it wasn't working for me. Tried to click 'play', added to playlist, but had to resort to just reading it in the end. Shame.
And while reading this thread, another player arrived and blew up my Freewinder Let's hope they still carry some weapons for defending themselves from the purple haired clowns!
