Speculation thread for July 20...

[K M Butler]

The 50th anniversary of the moon landing. Seems an auspicious time for FD to do something special for E. What are your thoughts?
Mine are (in order of most likely to pure dreamcrafting):
A cosmetics sale.
Nothing at all.
A minor general update with a couple of small treats thrown in.
Opening up the Moon for landing.
Opening up the Moon for landing, with shiny new content attached.

Boobleheads of the crew ?

I note that we often have speculation threads surrounding auspicious dates, but they have ultimately amounted to nothing - not even a cosmetics sale. In fact, barely even an acknowledgement from FD.

So my thoughts in order are:

• Nothing at all
• Acknowledgment of the date from FD in a social media post.
• Cosmetics sale
• Announcement of the next minor update
• Applying the next minor update (assuming announcement comes between now and then)

...

...

Yep that's it, no chance the moon will be opening for landing.

They will be launching a real Cobra MKIII and fly it to the moon. The infamous ganker “wizard boy” will be flying it and he will grief the moon landing sites by blowing them up... for the lulz of course.

Moon Lander Bobblehead?

Let us finally land on the moon.

FD to publish a generic picture of a ship near a rocky body on twitter.

A moon bobblehead.

Because this will never happen (well, hopefully it will some day, but certainly not before the 2020 update):

Let us finally land on the moon.

A Galnet report about how a Cobra IV has been found on the moon

Good idea and I also thought about Boobleheads of Saturn V, and Apollo command and service module.

I’d love it if they finally gave us Lunar access like they claim to have been working on for years now, but past experience suggest that FDev aren’t that proactive. It’s probably been on the back burner since 2.0 and never even touched.

I suspect we’ll be back on the Moon irl before FDev lets us land there.

Maybe appoint Donald as head of the Dev team ?

Ronald McDonald? McDonalds found on the moon ..... yes !

My Cutter is named after Ronald. And I agree on McDonalds on the moon.

Also I say July 20 is the day space legs is announced.
I mean, one small step for FD, one giant leap for the game and us players?

The parallel is interesting.

Donald is a big fan of beef.

I wonder if there are cows on the moon ?

Hem, I will avoid this place.

I do not want to finish like a burger

"We choose to develop Legs, not because they are easy, but because they are hard."

Excellent! Hopefully somebody at FD is taking note. (Possibly thinking/saying Oh, #$%^&!!!. We thought it was July 20, 2020!)
