Greetings Commanders!

It's time to sit back, get back up because you sat back too far and sit forward a little bit as we go over all the GalNet news from this week!

REFUGEES FLEE FROM THARGOID OFFENSIVE - 5 December
People are running from Thargoid controlled systems almost as quickly as the rest of the CM Team run from me when I bring up my latest "Game suggestion". The Thargoids continue to aggressively target human stations and settlements, forcing the local populace to fight back, flee or have an existential breakdown whilst disintegrating. Humanity continues to fight back but the Thargoid war machine is at full strength right now and shows little sign of breaking down.


CHASE ADMITS KINGFISHER MISSION ‘A MISTAKE’ - 6 December
"I can't believe sending a ship full of defenseless people to go and meet a notably hostile force would be a bad idea!" Says man who coincidentally was busy washing his hair that day. Yes, just a short while after everyone on the Kingfisher has been forcefully given extended vacation time from this plane of existence, Dalton Chase has acknowledge that maybe cuddles not struggles wasn't really the way forward. Dalton Chase has pledged to introduce Xeno-Diplomacy into full regulation to limit civilian involvement whilst Secretary of State Lana Berkovich wants an investigation into chase on the grounds that getting thousands of people killed for a PR campaign is a bit wasteful.


PLANS FOR ENHANCED AX WEAPONRY ACCELERATE - 7 December
When the going gets tough the tough get guns. Engineers Liz Ryder and Zacariah Nemo have sensibly looked at the rising flames across the galaxy and decided that now might be the time to get more anti-xeno guns in circulation. What originally started as a fun side hobby (I mean who among us doesn't tinker with weapons of mass destruction on our own time?) has now transformed into a intergalactic arms race to get new bug zapping shooty things off the ground and into Thargoid faces. Obviously such a rapid turn around needs some help, so the duo have been looking to Commanders across the Milky Way to help get them set up.


CARNAGE WROUGHT BY FURTHER MAELSTROMS - 8 December
The surprisingly friendly sounding rogue signal sources named Cocijo and Oya have arrived in human occupied space and unsuprisingly turned out to be unfriendly. Thargoid ships have been causing more chaos and carnage than a billionaire getting into cyan coloured ornithology. The sheer number of Thargoid invaders and the threat of even more rogue signal sources arriving sooner than people would like has rather overwhelmed the human races ability to not die. It's OK, Azimuth Biotech's new megaship is here to save the day...You can always rely on them right?


That's it for this week. As we enter December we hope you enjoy your scripted engagement in global commercialism and don't think too hard about the crushing inevitability of your own fleeting lives.

This is why we want ED to be unscripted so we can get away from mundane life.

I can imagine 😁
Thanks for the round-up 🖤
 
Whoever writes these, and I get the feeling Sally has a hand in them, should be proud. They're delightfully humourous.
unfortunately things are like that... the issue that makes me the saddest about the game is this lack of interactivity with the developers, we pay ourselves and invest time in the game and we have the most passionate community there is, but frontier is content to appear from from time to time with some post and then simply leaves several and several conversation tabs with no return, what to talk about the sujestion tab maybe none of them really go through there
:rolleyes: :cry:

That definitely has a Paul flair to it. Maybe's a team effort. Regardless, excellent work from the CM team.

BTW, thanks to CM and everyone else at ED HQ for following the community and reacting to our whining asks.

Surprisingly author of the post (Paul Crowther) writes these posts. When Paul was on holiday for couple of weeks, there was public announcement that these are on hold until he gets back, as nobody else is able to match his wits and humour.
Greetings Commanders.

Look...we've decided (this is more of a confession actually).

Arf, Bruce and myself just won't be able to replicate the incredible 'scribe vibe' of the legendary Paul Crowther whilst he's away for the month, so we've decided to put the weekly, much loved Galnet Roundup posts on Pause until he is back from holiday on October 24th.

Hope this isn't too much of a disappointment (even WE'RE disappointed in ourselves for lacking the awesomeness of our Dark Lord, but honestly, we couldn't even match up to his witty finesse at this point. They're just too..."Paul").

Let's look forward to then!

That is all very interesting but I am more interested in on foot thargoid combat. If you let me know when it will be introduced will be helpful to know when to play ED again. The space thargoid combat was fun but is too repetitive and becomes boring.
 
It would be quite nice if instead of providing an attempt at a cod "have I got news for you" - someone in the CM team actually bothered to respond to the outcry about the space cabbage "war" metric.

Communication performance I am afraid is rather poor at the moment, shame after all the hype about "more engagement" when @Arthur Tolmie arrived.
