Sooo, apparently the BGS was discussed at the LaveCon Dev Q&A?

Hey all,

So, apparently the BGS was discussed at the LaveCon Dev Q&A - the one with a heavy Frontier delegation but that was not streamed through LaveRadio twitch.

Does anyone have any details on the BGS stuff?
Are there any plans to release video of this Dev Panel at some future date?

From Paige's post:

Discovery Scanner Special with Dav Stott - Lavecon Special!

Dav, Lead Server Developer, started the presentation by hosting his very own episode of Discovery Scanner, detailing some of the work made when we introduced Background Simulation faction changes in Beyond - Chapter Four. Rest assured, if you weren't able to attend, we'll be bringing back the episode in a future livestream!
 
Eid LeWeise recently said on the BGS discord that they did not have permission to rebroadcast this. Hopefully Frontier still has it in the works — apparently Dav commented, among other things, that happiness is working correctly. Most of the community doesn't believe that to be the case, so getting a chance to hear his thoughts will give us an opportunity to identify what is and is not actually bugged.

Working as intended (tm)

"happiness is working correctly"?

Then I don't know what it's supposed to be doing
I wouldn't be surprised if "Working correctly" means goes up and down like expected. Whether it actually does anything, since it's use as part of expansion never made the live cut is a whole other bag.

There's still the journal/display bug where the values reported in the journal don't match those reported on the right panel (and are occasionally entirely missing)

Hopefully they're just waiting for that to be fixed before actually doing something with it.
 
Looking at Paige's post it sounds more like they plan to get Dav to do a new BGS livestream, rather than publish the Lavecon one.

Rather than saying 'Working as intended' the question I'd like asking is 'What did you intend?' - because I have no clue what Happiness does.
