I was pretty angry when they said on stream again that there's no Apex on the carriers to prevent abduction. Escape pods were introduced to the carriers for that very reason, so that argument against Apex holds no water.

Are those actually working escape pods? Where do they take you, if say you're a few jumps out of the bubble?

Seeing the guys struggle through the game yesterday was interesting if only from the point of view that they seemed to be pretty clueless about most things in the game and it at times came across as if it was their first time at many things (getting lost in the rather basic FC menu? Come on).

That combined with their ability to quickly conjure up credits due to console access or whatever also may explain some of the hair raising balancing decisions - the CMs of course don't design the game but if that culture towards the game is widespread internally then yeah. The fact that they used the specific excuse of abductions while seemingly oblivious to the purpose of the escape pods just hammered that home really.

I also must've missed any semi solid information about the future of the game (even just U12) so I guess this is it then for quite some time.

I thought Arf did pretty well in the settlement massacre.

That must've been after I switched off - it was more the little conceptional things, like jumping into a random system and being surprised it was empty, not finding options in a rather basic menu, although I found it pretty funny that they thought you could interact with the screen on the captain's desk. Not sure if Arf's throwaway comment about 'having a drink in the bar' was a joke or not though, I'm sure for those who keep requesting that feature it must've stung;)

Yeah - and as soon as they said it the chat in both youtube and twitch filled with people saying "what about escape pods" and they quite clearly ignored it. 🤦‍♂️

It was good (and heartbreaking) to see @Arthur Tolmie have to - once more - draw a line in the sand about the level of abuse going on about a computer game. Death threats, threats of violence, and references to the Holocaust. Good grief. Despite that, some of the stuff in chat was depressing to see, including threats of self-harm if they didn't get the game back on consoles. Fair play to the mods in there, yourself included roots.

It really is sad that people go to those kinds of extremes over a game. Sure, I'd like to hope that one day down the road they make some headway and Ody comes to consoles. But it's not worth threatening them or threatening harm to myself to see it. Also, great job mods! I feel like I've been somewhat regular, but you guys take care of those posts quick!
