So Eotienses (Denton Patreus' home system) has been my home system since I started my ED career way back in July of last year. I know the whole system like the back of my hand. So much so that even though I don't trade, at all, I knew the trade routes and what sells where and was able to make a decent go at that CG everyone flipped out about a few weeks back.
So I more or less knew from just the Gamescom streams that Adams Market would end up all green cause it's an agricultural station and all the others in the system would get the refiner overhaul. Cool right, but it also meant that I didn't need to go home to see said changes in the beta cause I'd see them everyday in the live build.
So what's my point you ask? Glad you asked. You see, Parkinson Dock happens to be the first station in the system, closes to the star, but I rarely go there due to the fact that 1 Adam's Market orbits an Earth-like world that in a binary with a beautiful waterworld, and 2 it is the only station of the 4 that has not just 1 but a pair of the .5 habitation rings which helps with my roleplay. The other 3 don't have rings at all. But in beta, none of that matters so docking at Parkinson is just more convenient and I just got back to test some audio bug plauging Imperial stations atm.
So you can imagine my surprise and somewhat confusion when I see a habitation ring on the back of Parkinson.
It threw me for a bit. I'm like, "Parkinson doesn't have a ring on it. Does it?" It threw me so hard that I booted it up my second account just to check. My T7 on my second account was well over 200 lys closer than my main save but still a little bit of a trip, 13 jumps, but still, I needed to know I wasn't crazy. Sure enough, this is what I saw.
So that's really cool Frontier are doing that to a station that before now. I had little reason to go to other than a 30 second shorter flight in supercruise. Which for me, kinda derails some of my fun just fly my ships sometimes so Adams Market is where I go most of the time. It did make me wonder about the rest of the system but aside from the station interiors I already knew where coming.
Still, I wonder now what other stations are seeing outer upgrades if Parkinson Dock is getting such treatment. Anyone else notice any such changes? Let us know. Get some screenshots if you can and post them here. I'll be looking out for more and throwing them in on this thread as well. Also sorry about the kinda story format of this post. Kinda have a need to add to my roleplay thread atm but I'm dealing with a slight case of writers block atm.
