No, the last hotspot change was at the launch of Fleet Carrier Update - middle of June.
Since then there was no change in hotspots - except for the fact that they really killed the overlaps in the current patch and the hotspots are underperforming

My 2 cents:
If you want to mine tritium, go to a Void Opal Hot spot. Or LTD is great too.
You will find EVERYTHING in those hot spots BUT what the hotspots are about.
I went to mine some VOs - the abrasion blast not working aside - I came back with more trit than VOs and LTDs put together. 100t of Trit after an hour of mining in a VO hot spot.
No, they do it a couple of days before the weekend so they can avoid having to correct the errors until next week. If then. It's been two weeks between "fixes" so far.
It will never not be amusing to me that so many near-game-breaking issues with in-game economies often boil down to "capitalism"
maybe next time let some one who has a good intelligence order the implementation of a patch/update
i am getting sick of the highly educated one that orders the updates at the end of the week or just before the hollidays
update/upgrade only in the weekend and preferably late on a sunday that way you guys have a week to fx the mistakes
now allot of us are sitting on our .... waiting and falling a sleep to get some tritium
tbh that tritium suply should have been fxt with a emergency patch

Why is it called that?
There is 3-4 times as much Tritium outside any of the hotspots than within them.
Listen, don't mention the war. I mentioned it once, but I think I got away with it all right.
No mention on the nerf causing tritium supply to be under 10 in stations where the owning faction is in blight state! The nerf hammer has gone too far...
No mention of the changes in the patch notes, nor in the known fixes.
was it intended?
was it accidental?
are you now just brushing the change under the rug?

Here's a suggestion.. why don't you bring the actual coders or the person in charge of coders on here so they can justify how they decided nerfing this as badly as they did was such a great idea.. and what they're going to do to address one of the worst patch nerfs overreaction from Frontier I've seen. (or maybe one of the the most badly implemented unexpected consequences of code "fixes" that caused the overnerf I've seen)
2nd suggestion: roll the patch back until you figure out what you did wrong before you implement it again. Killing an "egg" exploit is one thing.. making it so that hotspots are basically oxymorons are quite another.
Oh.. and fix the abrasion blaster bug please.
You guys gotta step up your testing and coding and decision-making if you expect people to buy Odyssey.
Regards

Frontier only works on weekends to fix things that players can make loads of cash on. Quality of life issues and game killing bugs can wait till next week, or sometime later
Please let us know when this hammer is lifted, so that we can move our FC ahead. We are stuck! in deep space like Rocks
Michael Barrymore hosted a show called Strike it Lucky, which had hotspots as a gameplay feature you had to avoid.
The algorithm seems to be now so complex that the developers do not understand it anymore.
Hey FDev, it's time to cleanup de code and put some comments in your sources !
Pong only counts if you were playing on the original Atari pong console. My first console was the venerable Atari VCS (Video Computer System). I came into the gaming world a bit late, like 1978, and have been playing computer games since. My first memorable game was the original Ultima series. By the way, I am 64, so I am beyond the old fart range and into ancient

Isn't Community management to do with managing the community, ATM all I see is the community a bit annoyed and the management absent. Please join in the conversation, Even if it is to say "Hey guys, I understand your frustration but......"
I actually feel slightly sorry for the Community Managers (See PR Team).. they have to figure out how to put lipstick on a pig when Fdev's developers or coders come up with stuff like this.
As Rubbernuke noted. But particularly for us Brits of a certain age we will remember the catch phrase when someone landed on the hotspot. The host would say:
“What is a hotspot not?”
To which the audience would reply:
“Not a good spot”
which seems rather appropriate currently.
