Commanders we are here, promise.
Apologies for not being as chatty as some might hope this close to post-release, we're getting stuck in with so much volume right now but we are here and appreciating all of the feedback so far o7
As things calm I'll be better set to respond more directly o7
Thanks for the continued (as ever) patience o7

You promised us excitement - the finale was for me! Now you can relax a little, it went well - thank the team for me!

I had the same idea. Hunker down on the only moon not to be permit locked in my unarmed Phantom and then when I logged in I was in space with the lights off and pants down. Almost got away. Almost.I also needed a rebuy. I found myself not in the safe crater I was hiding in, but off planet, an unpleasant surprise. Enjoyed the story video
Bit of an anti-climax. Now what?
I thought about bringing a cheap throwaway ship but that seemed like a weird way to engage with new content (though, it is elite lol) so I stuck with my nice thingz. i actually don't know how I escaped, i just closed my eyes, thought loving, pluralistic space peace thoughts and pressed 'engage' hoping the Thargoids felt the vibe.
Lol well that was an adventure! Logging back in to HIP 22460 I went through the normal Thargoid welcoming shenanigans as others, but to top it all off the Proteus wave knocked out my HOTAS throttle as well! (Not really but my computer decided to stop recognizing it as an input right then so I’m RPing it as such haha)
It’s a good thing I have some throttle keys mapped out on my keyboard as well or I wouldn’t have made it back to my carrier in one piece. That was fun!

Yeah I think all of us are thinking "now what?"
Nice one FDev!
I managed to miss part of the cutscene on my epic account, but i got to fully enjoy it on my XB on a 50" tv screen and a decent soundbar
Now, back on PC to check stuff out... (luckily my Epic account using an AX Cutter was logged on Musashi)
My XB trade Cutter was docked on Bright Sentinel, post cutscene i got a rather funny message saying that my last save was in an Odyssey location (im on XB, remember?) and will load a horizon safe location.
Found meself safely, 15km away from Bright Sentinel. Jumped to my Carrier parked in a nearby system.

Still not able to reach 60 FPS on Concourses, oof. Will try settlements too to see if performance improved there.
I was sure I read that H4.0 was part of this update.In a few weeks, when it is released, I'd guess.

Update 13, Narrative and Access to 4.0. - Elite Dangerous
Greetings Commanders, We’re happy to confirm Update 13 is coming on Tuesday 9 August and will see the highly anticipated conclusion of the Az...www.elitedangerous.com
I must have misunderstood.
Apologies.
I really enjoyed it, smugly sitting there in my explorer DBX believing myself to be safe with no weapons or aggressive stuff…funny how you forget about the tech you picked up years ago
Wow, I must have lucked out. My ship was totally normal, I just sniffed around the canisters, enjoyed the view then jumped to the Musashi. The only Guardian tech I had was the FSD Booster, need to check if that got mangled...I was on the Bright Sentinel as well, was stranded in space with all systems offline when I logged in.
Once they rebooted a thargoid appeared and blew me up
welcome to the party commander, been waiting for 15 months now!
about the finale
nice cutscene(although the thargoid shots were edited a bit cringy), the exciting part is the sound in the end, hopefully this isn't the "gran finale", cause there's nothing "grand" yet, the aftermath have potential to be(specially when the EMP stops and we can check for ourselves, maybe the EMP is calling for help? ;p
Were you some distance away? I was orbiting 10b and only had the FSD booster. They got miffed quite quickly.
You should know the drill by now - restart Launcher, check file integrity, in a pinch reload the Launcher. Or wait until your ISP wakes up from hibernation.
Nope definitely not the only one. It seems Horizons and Odyssey players are having very different experiences. HIP 22460 in Odyssey is overrun by thargoids whereas in Horizons there are absolutely none, not even in the surrounding systems.
Reading here, somehow I totally missed the initial cutscene? I thought it was what I describe below but, without spoilers, is there more that I need to seek out?
I loaded into Odyssey in my cockpit in orbit, when I had been on the surface, had no audio for about 45 seconds as a Thargoid approached my ship, then flew away peacefully and the audio returned? It was like half-cutscene in that I was in my ship watching but unable to interact with anything, and no sound.

Has a Thargoid reputation system been added in the background? As in, if I feed them Meta-Alloys, will their behavior change over time, like in the old Beta? Please, I've spent so long, years, farming Meta Alloys and feeding them to Thargoids before the update and I'd at least want to know if feeding Thargoids now can change their behavior towards me for the medium-long term, and not just in the local scenario. This feature is something I've been hoping for for such a long time.
no that ain't the cutscene, it is REALLY a cutscene, to me it happened as soon as i opened soloplay(i wasn't even connected yet since i had an error and had to reconnect afterwards)
