State of the Game

It went on for about 2 hours.
The first batch of orbs dropped by Buur all popped before we cleared the starting line.
He had to drop another bunch from landed & SRV for them to stay alive.

The cheese chase was total anarchy - I've not laughed quite so much since the last war in Carcosa!
Any idea how that one CMDR got his orb out in front so quickly? Is it just a matter of practice?
 
there's only really one positive intentional reason i can think for fdev to be so incredibly late with doing anything with the thargoids ....and that's if they plan on a total doomsday event to end the game and set the stage for some future version of the game and sunset this one...

thargoids will be in their holding pattern until they're ready to sunset the game and then they'll just steamroll the entire galaxy. Then the servers will shut off.. and that'll be that.

Setting the stage for the game that they should have created but didn't have the experience or skill to do the first time (and simply can't do as a progression of the current one).

Almost right...

  • They introduce Odyssey in a poor state with repeating patterns visible on some planetary bodies
  • Many explorer types are offended and leave
  • Combat players don't give a Rat's arze about patterns so stay
  • More players with potato PCs leave because performance is so bad
Then, when all of the risk-averse and ancient PC owners have gone to play NMS or SC...
  • Frontier release the 'proper' version of Odyssey that performs as well as Horizons
  • All CZs and AXCZs disappear overnight
  • Anarchy systems become dangerous to fly through
  • Wars happen in-system
  • Thargoids, in supercruise, spotted, interdicting players as soon as they enter the system.
  • Thargoid Hive ships appear all over the bubble.
Everyone has fun as the game evolves into what it should have been from Day 1! Playerbase grows massively as everyone is enjoying proper challenge.

Careful, I can hear the void calling you.... ;)

But on a positive note.... 🤔
