If they can't offer us anything new until 2020, I'm fine with that. Don't pretend that you can, though, please FD? It just makes you look silly.
Is the Interstellar Initiative a new player turn-off?

High Security system is too rough for a beginning pirate like me.
edit: What I was missing for the installation raid was the manifest scanner. I got one at The Prospect. And after a bit of looking around, reading and talking to people I found out how the piracy thing is suppossed to work. I am only saying: Convoy USS. So that's ok. Still having a hard time gathering a good amount of Gaurdina objects, but having fun with it. And if all other things fail, I still can drive my SRV.

For what it's worth, I did come equipped with a recon limpet controller and hacked the installation transmitters a couple of times today. They didn't give any guardian related data. Also, the cargo bays only had 1 guardian item each in them.
Not even worth the trouble.

I haven't noticed anything at all in-game. But then, I'm not looking. Though I am planning on heading over to the guardian sites at some point - it's about time I sorted the FSD booster out.
The CG has a notification on the missions board at the CG location. I assume it's the on all other mission boards as usual?
It's also on the launcher page, and an email was sent to everyone that FD could reach, so I'd say it was pretty well broadcast.
Except, you don't know that
Yah..personally not a fan of that either. So much development time wasted to give us an FPS experience in a game about flying space ships with no chance it will be nearly as good as a game actually designed for FPS. I think I'm in the minority here, but imo it's a terrible idea.
You only need to dock with The Prospect for the decal, which i may say it looks really nice.
Regarding this CG, i think they upped a bit the cargo in the Convoy ships. But still it's not worth it.
The only reliable source is the logfest at the Guardian Structures. Interesting enough, I read reports that some are scooping them Guardian items from the ground using small ships, while some others reported success in using limpets to pick the stuff. I tried the limpets and failed miserably, but admittedly it was only a couple of attempts
I think a key issue is that there don't appear to be many people in the dev team that can play the game even half-decently, so that all this gets designed 'on paper'. Too often I get the impression they don't fully realize how their ideas work in practice, or how the average gamer approaches their ideas. This goes way back, from "Surely players prefer not to have any actual stats about their modules so they experiment and learn themselves!" to "Man, they'll love the massive randomness in our engineering 1.0 system. Every ship will be unique!". On paper these ideas aren't bad at all, and I can even get behind most of them. It is just that in practice many players end up mode-hopping while watching netflix, rather than having an epic space adventure.
It reminds me of those highschool math exams, where you honest-to-god learned most of the stuff you were supposed to learn. You're feeling confident, happy you made an effort. Then you sit down for the test and realize the 5% you didn't quite get screw you over every step of the way. And before you know it teachers and parents are yelling that you're either lazy or stupid, and you're left wondering where the wheels came off.
