Seeking to Compile a Timeline where FD Staff Have Mentioned/Teased Aliens and Other Features Coming in 2.2, Need Help with References
EDIT: brain had a shortcircuit and thought 2.4 is coming next - meant to say 2.2!
Hi all,
When browsing Canonn Interstellar's multiple threads or just talking with other commanders in open about2.4 2.2, the possibility of thargoids, etc, I often read/hear: "Braben said this/MB said that/he said/she said/cow said", and so forth. References are made to interviews, forum comments, all manner and spectrum of media. For a Commander who is relatively new on the "social"/out-of-game scene (like me), or does not avidly follow the forums, the YouTube channel, Twitter, etc, it is very difficult to keep up with what has been said and hinted at beyond the hearsay of others.
To alleviate myself (and possibly others) of this problem, I'd like to comb through the various medias that mention2.4 2.2 and create a timeline chronologically listing each reference plus a little context (eg, if it was in response to a question and maybe what the question was, etc.). The thing is... well, I need a little help.
I thought I'd start out at the YouTube channel and comb through each interview for the little nuggets of gold. When I actually got to the channel, I realized I was slightly in over my head, and at the rate it would take me to go through each and every interview to find the relevant information, plus searching through all the other media forms beyond YouTube, the next three expansions would probably already be released by the time I finished compiling a timeline.
So, I am wondering if I can appeal to the community and ask: is anyone able to supply me with dates, names of, or links to specific interviews, videos, trailers, Tweets, Reddit posts, Frontier/Steam forum comments/threads, and any other media where any FD staff mentioned2.4 2.2 (I'm looking for references, direct and indirect, to aliens in particular)?
While doing this out of personal interest, I believe this can help clarify/focus community expectations as well. I'm under the impression that some Commanders still believe peaceful first-contact is possible - others believe it will not be possible, either because FD will/has already scripted the incident, and/or because of the Thargoids nature in the lore. I think some people don't think the presence of aliens will significantly impact gameplay, and others believe the bubble could be destroyed. With such a wide range of opinions, I think it would be a nice "public service" to amass the relevant information into a single post/infographic that can be universally referenced by Commanders.
Thanks in advance!
