And I thought this was an announcement that Frontier was bringing CGs back to Horizons Legacy.

i thought it might be about them coming back to odyssey.

None today either, sorry!

It's a good thing they abandoned consoles, so there would be more content on pc

At the moment there is more on consoles/Legacy LOL. Sorry, no CGs on PC/Live again this week. Hope to return 'soon'.

The best part about CGs for me was that they were Frontier's way to add narrative events to the game.

Given the current story line, Frontier have other tools at their disposal, so I don't really mind the current absence of CGs.

To a certain extent I agree, but the war has a distinct lack of personal Rewards Beyond credits.

And can only tell a very narrow range of stories.

As a substitute for the mechanics of a CG - bars which are filled by hauling, shooting and so on - it's generally much more sophisticated and interesting.
As a substitute for the story elements of a CG it's nowhere near as powerful. Powerplay had the same weakness (and a bunch more, of course).

Now, if they can find a way to use mechanisms like those of the Thargoid War to tell the full range of stories that CGs and similar have done over the years, that's when things might get really interesting.

As long as they are back before the completion date of the Legacy CG.

Update is delayed and CGs are halted. I wonder if the two are related?

The Thargoids lost the system on console... So there is no CGs on legacy console as well currently... so No CGs allround...
