Greetings Commanders!

I hope everyone has continued to be blissfully unaware of the silent watchers who audit our every movement from just outside our field of view. It's always so awkward when someone spots them and they have to be written out of the timeline. Anywho, another week has flown by like a pigeon who left the gas on, so that means it's time to go over this week's news!

PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES OUTLINE MANIFESTOS - 17 July 3309
Whilst worlds continue to turn vibrant shades of fiery orange, thanks to our new insectoid interior designers, the bigwigs of the Federation took part in yet another debate to spout the usual political nonsense that promises lots of things that will inevitably be categorised as "Not what the public really wants right now" despite the trending hashtags of #ThePublicReallyDoesWantThisNow. Each of the political candidates was given time free from their opponents voices to share their plans should they be elected. Jerome Archer promised to get rid of that pesky issue know as freedom, Felicia Winters promised to eat the rich and Zachary Rackham pointed at his own face and said "Give me some attention I am secretly so alone". The election itself has been pushed back towards the end of 3309, what with all the dead people making vote counting a bit problematic. Who will be victorious in the end? Only time will tell but we can rest assured that whichever candidate is selected they probably aren't going to make things any better.


AZIMUTH RELEASES NEW AX WEAPON - 20 July 3309
Despite having lost out in the 'Notice me senpai' competition with Aegis previously, Azimuth "Celebrate villainous cape swishing Fridays' biotech was successful in their attempts to persuade independent pilots to throw them a lush party. This shindig was a great opportunity for the only technology company to have a "It's been X days since we ruined the universe" calendar, and as a result several proposals were discussed and things are looking pretty good for the company going forward. As a reward the new Overcharged Gimballed AX Multi-Cannon with Auto Loader is available at all rescue megaships, as well as Azimuth Biotech’s core markets.


THE HUNT FOR THE DEDICANT - 20 July 3309
Previously on "Cultists do the darndest things, the Dedicant megaship was set to transport a bunch of True Chapter Far God Cultists to Alliance space, only to go suddenly go missing. Now it seems that traces of a distress call have been discovered in he LP 714-58 system. It looks like an encryption error has broken the call into several fragments, making it hard to piece it all together and hopefully find out what's going on. As this is all like finding a needle in the extreme vast open reaches of maddening space, the Federation Intelligence group is asking for help from pilots to locate and follow the breadcrumb trail.


That's it for this week, we'll be taking a short break for the GalNet roundup for totally legit reasons and not because the author has naffed on holiday for a little bit. TTFN and remember, pretend they aren't there...
 
No-one is watching us. Our phones are not being tapped. Big Tech with no scruples is not tracking our internet movement so it can target us with "legitimate interest" ads. There are no spy balloons overhead.

Remember, tin foil is your friend.

"All you need to know is that my organisation has a very specific remit: to seek out those who have the potential to become real movers and shakers, those precious few with the talent to mould and shape the galaxy around them, to create change on a grand scale."

Aluminium foil is however a friend of the watchers as it does not block anything significant but does point you out as thinking you have something to hide.
 
Hunt for the "Dedicant"... I have solved the 4 messages. I became a message, "your reward is now ready for you"! But what is the reward and where can I grab it? Not one word about this. It´s a joke. In the past, the first 10 Cmdr.´s was namend in GalNet News. Not now. For me good reasons, not play for CG´s anymore!

Congratulations. Hope it was fun. By the way did you solve it during UK office hours?

Has there been a GalNet News since you solved it, and have 9 other people solved it as well?
If the answer is no to either of those questions then keep calm until after they start work on Monday before getting all ragey.

For me good reasons, not play for CG´s anymore!
That’s OK as this wasn’t a CG anyway.

Minion: should we tell him that in this particular case we are hunting down and destroying the first 10 commanders?

Operations: not yet. We still have to determine his location by Thursday of next week.

Just a real shame that this information is now no longer available on the launcher, who ever thought of the launcher alteration (cannot call it an update as its a non functional mess) seriously needs to get a grip.
Launcher requires a major re-think as to it's appearance (huge picture not required, task bar to enable quick access to items certainly required (whoever thought up putting forum access in 'SETTINGS' really??
Even if the ''no news - scroll for more' is fixed the launcher continues to be a mismatch of ideas with no apparent regard for user functionality..
