Well, the community has just given Salvation another 80 billion vote of confidence, instead of putting him/her/it under some scrutiny. So let the galaxy burn.
CG predictions...
- Thread starter CMDR Serra
- Start date
fingers crossed
I'll be interested in seeing how Salvation reacts now.
The elephant in the room here is the increasing Thargoid attacks in the nebulae - more and more systems under incursion each week, seemingly almost unstoppable. Wonder when that will come into play.
Better get stacking that Salvation brand paracetamol
And Mr. Salvation is still locked up in his laboratory; no news about his supernuke or his detection network..!
DREDGER CLAN FACES POSSIBLE EXTINCTION
15 NOV 3307Orion University has been informed that its ownership claim of the Scriveners Clan dredger is placing its population at great risk.
In the Oochost PC-C c29-0 system, the university’s megaship Scientia Aeterna has used override codes to prevent the dredger from departing. But the nomadic tribe’s refusal to abandon their home has placed them under great pressure, as observed by freelance reporter Casey Kilpatrick:
“Dredger-class bulk cruisers are the sharks of space – they must always keep moving, constantly gathering raw materials to synthesize into fuel, air and other resources. The Scriveners Clan remained stationary for months while salvaging the Hesperus, but in this system they are trapped without such vital intakes.”
“Independent observers are now reporting malfunctions in the vessel’s power and life support systems. If the Scriveners maintain their siege mentality, further mechanical failures are inevitable. Orion might inherit the dredger after all, but it will be a ship of the dead.”
Professor Elizabeth Perez, Orion University’s head of anthropology, responded:
“The last thing we wish is for any harm to befall these people. My colleagues are urgently discussing ways to convince the Scriveners Clan that we have their best interests at heart. After all, as fellow scientists and researchers, they are a living embodiment of our university’s core values.”
So Scrivener supply?
You're sure that wasn't related to gathering a megaship full of guardian artefacts in the Plieades?
There's nowhere to ferry to - other than the University...
So why did it go to Merope? 
Set off the Thargoid invasion?
Set off the Thargoid invasion?The Perdition was in Merope, with a group of Far God cultists from Panjabell, too. Not much later the Bright Sentinel arrived there, and now is going back to a permit-locked safe house.So why did it go to Merope?
To deliver the plasma guns to the frontlines?So why did it go to Merope?
Probably not. Haven't the thargoids swarmed every several months? Fairly consistently for couple years. Maybe it's just migration season. Would explain bubble incursions as well.
You should pay closer attention
Kyrxix is probably onto something - top sleuthing
The sacrosanct in Maia, for paying closer attention... Today
Dump raw materials directly into the dredger?
Hmmm, well that wouldn't be a CG, they'd have to manually count cargo dumps. Plenty of time for a friendly m/s to turn up? Or they let it run for another week and this week follows up on the Theta7 story?
Nice to not know
Got excited for a minute that something big might be coming up, but looks like fdev are solving the permit availability problem for good - seeing m/s added for various permit holders, I imagine the others will be found:
- The Silver Cove 69 G. Carinae Megaship
- Meredith's Dream Alcor Megaship
- Shadows Endurant Epsilon Eridani Megaship
- Daunting Hammer Hecate Megaship
- Shephard of the Mighty LP 91-140 Megaship
