State of the Game

[Raliel]

Patch Notes:

• Fixed Arrakeen Fortress shield bug. It should no longer automatically go down as Sardaukars enter glide mode.
• PEGI Ratings: reduced frequency of Fremen saying Kull Wahad, and Bene Gesserit now use corn syrup instead of drugs.
• We heard your complaints about travel times. Supercruise is removed in favour of a new APEX Guild which "folds space" for instant travel.
• Fixed Bene Tleilax HoloMe bug which would turn your HoloMe into that of the latest character you encountered.
• Added Fremen faction NPC randomly travelling with spice for no reason for Harkonnen roleplayers who can't find victims in Open.
• PowerPlay: Cosmetic pass on Margot Fenring's "assets".
• Fixed Sietch Tabr entrance that was underground due to new planetary generation.
• Increased spawn rate of balisets from 0.3% to 0.4%. We will keep monitoring this material, highly sought by players in order to unlock Engineer Liet Kynes and the Increased Water Retention stillsuit mod.

can we start complaining loudly about the lack of Ornithopters?

 

[Raliel]

Also Spice mining is still a tedious grind

 

[Zieman]

There is no spoon.

 

[MishaTX]

Planetary fauna confirmed!

OK, so they're giant worms who'll swallow your shiny AspX whole, but just think of that one last screenshot you'll get in front of it! It'll have Reddit going for DAYS!

"FINALLY finished the grind so I could buy my new KILLER SHIP"

Me: So, what'd you do with the rest of the afternoon?

Also me: Can I invite you to my friends list for some emergent content?

Gets a coffee and switches on Prime and Disney+ to recreate a bit of childhood Sunday morning cartoon feel...

Good thinking Batgirl, it's that kind of Sunday here too

 

[MishaTX]

I swear. It was all Reddit's fault! I'm really a nice guy. Really I am!!

Nah - don't do Disney. Too much risk!

Beautiful memories! I think we are very similar ages!

 

[Rubbernuke]

Beautiful memories! I think we are very similar ages!

I think our mental ages are the same too

 

[Raliel]

oh gawd we are all nearly 50

 

[MishaTX]

"So you're just an explorer, you say?"

Me: Yep.

"Isn't the Phantom better for that, though?"

Me: Nah... I need the extra hardpoint for, er, mining lasers so I can collect jumponium faster... Oh, and the fighter bay for hooning. Yeah, that's it. Hooning.

 

[MishaTX]

oh gawd we are all nearly 50

Nearly?

 

[Amy Pendergast]

Nearly?

Don't look at me, 50 is still a (tiny) bit in my future...

 

[CMDR Sheehy]

Nearly?

Some are there, some have only a couple of weeks to go before being officially classified as in the Golden years

 

[Raliel]

Nearly?

well... umm.... I realised the other day that there are adults now that were born in the 21st Century and that there are people alive now, who will be alive in the 22nd century

I got a kick in the backside for suggesting SLF for hooning. Apparently, if you crash it, there's no rebuy screen, so it's not hooning (no risk!)
