Excellent news! Got my Arx ready for the Mandalay … will the Type-8 become available for in-game credits as part of this update?

Now we are cooking!

 

[Taimaru]

Yes! My frame shift drive is overheating due to excitment.

 

[Kzak]

And hopefully with the New Feature Reveal(TM) to follow on the 30th of October this year.

 

[Rat Catcher]

Yes! My frame shift drive is overheating due to excitment.

Leaking coolant too?

 

[Alec Turner]

Awesome!

Did the Mandalay's holographic wings get replaced with solid ones by any chance?

Edit: I'm not gonna say they actually have, but I gather ...

No rush, I have 64000 ly ahead by the carrier. This will take a year or so

 

[Rubbernuke]

Given the surgery involved on the BGS (removing PP1s brain and replacing it with PP2) are we looking at a late afternoon / evening to play?

I just hope Dav has enough tea and biscuits...

removing PP1s brain and replacing it with PP2

 

[Rubbernuke]

Well that would be a) very keeping with Halloween and b) a community notice for history- "sorry guys, we plugged in the wrong one- back to Powerplay 1!"
