Just to clarify, should this really say Exobiology (to match most existing reference in game) or are there specifically changes related to Xenological sources (e.g. thargoid barnacles will be scannable and offer payouts) ?

Can I give you a "wait and see" on that one, maybe?
From your reply I'm hoarding as much Andrex, PG Tips and Pot Noodle as I can fit into my cargo hold, ready for The Downfall™.
No need for a BGS if there's no humanity left.
not all of humanity needs to be gone for that.. just enough so that it is plausible that the players and only the players make up the game's population and their activities directly correlate to the game's economy and politics etc with the potential for collapse/gridlocking etc of parts of the game at times based on that player activity. Then npcs can be just there as filler npcs and not stand ins for the fake goings on of the bgs.
Sally, is there any hope of some love being applied to Exobiology? It seems to occupy the space Mining did before FD gave it some gameplay.
It would be great if there was a plan to make it more involving like they did with Mining.
Maybe a change to the sampler to make it so you had to stop the animated rings in a certain fashion in order to take a sample... OH, wait...
that's all? how about some improvements? will elite ever get rid of the heavy edge flickering? space stations tend to look almost like year 2000 graphics - low framerate with good hardware included.
Sally Morgan, the proposal in question may be more desirable than you think, especially for human AX weapons. I don't think Human AX weapons need the damage buff. They are fine, just remove the number cap from Human Ax weapons.
I do not think that this proposal will make the "Guardian story" ineffective. Because the person who wants to advance in the AX war will also visit the Guardian sites. In addition, Guardian sites can be visited even just for exploration, which can pique the curiosity of the players. (Also, the Guardian Sentinels need even a very small menacing buff.)
I have a more important request (suggestion):
I want Majestic-Class Interdictor. Just this...

Any news on the parts of the galaxy still closed to any human players? Is anything ever happening to those parts?
Regarding Thargoids, wake me up when there are more interactions then just shooting them. Like, allying with them for the chance to buy one of their ships for yourself or something.

Yay, time to dust off some of the old spaceships Kind of rusty, but this sounds great.

It's almost like it's a good idea to let professional game designers get on with their jobs and stop listening to vocal forumorons trying to make stuff easier all the time.

Oh my goodness, no, just to be clear that’s not all at all.that's all? how about some improvements? will elite ever get rid of the heavy edge flickering? space stations tend to look almost like year 2000 graphics - low framerate with good hardware included.
Woah, imagine!
These are JUST the hints on a few things from the stream that we could share this week.
What's Twitter?

I like how you said “human players” hehe.
Serious note though, sadly I don’t have anything on this for you.
Will be sure to if news like that comes along o7
@sallymorganmoore , in case you missed it, because I edited in this question some minutes after I made my post: will exobiology samples obtained now also get the payout buff when the update comes, or will the buff only apply to samples gathered after Update 14 goes live? It would be good to know this, so if we find something now, we could decide whether to gather the samples now or to do it later.

Just to be clear, I know you lot well enough now to assume everything is top class desirable, hehe.
Thanks for sharing. Honestly do love to read such thoughts o7especially for human AX weapons. I don't think Human AX weapons need the damage buff. They are fine, just remove the number cap from Human Ax weapons.
