Well, that was quick!
I will add Will that scenario itself is very cool. Just testing and a bit more planning would be welcome. But don't feel discouraged...this is what we really want - more dynamic galaxy.
Listen.. there were over 11,000 CMDR's docked on The Gnosis, many of them for weeks without having logged in to see the in game message boards.
You just can't place this failure to communicate on them. That's not how any of this works.
What are you trying to say? That if you park your ship on a moving research vessel, then dont log in or read anything for weeks, it is someone else's fault for the 'lack of communication'? Yes, if you close your ears and ears and lock yourself in a cupboard communication will be difficult. For anyone that actually bothered, even in the last day, to just read here, on reddit, on galnet, talk with any cmdrs present at the gnosis or did pretty much anything whatsoever: you knew thargoids were a major risk.
Hi, Will.
I posted a bug to this thread that it wasn't clear whether (or how) we could contribute to getting the Gnosis repaired (or maybe it's not damaged, just surrounded?). As someone who had the good luck to have correctly read the subtext of the first Galnet article, and was thus not annoyed, I thought it was partly my responsibility to stick around and help get the Gnosis moving for those that are more annoyed.
I know you said no CG, but I wasn't clear about the other routes of station repair. It might be nice if there was some communication (in-game?) about whether players can help that happen in some way. I don't have a Thargoid-killing ship, so if there will be no need of repairs, I might head home.
[As an aside, it was exciting trying to launch from the Gnosis in a ship that boosts not so fast!]
Also, in the mean time, check the two landable bodies in the system, there's stuff to find there (stuff I thought explorers like to find)

Whatever you say it doesnt change the fact that it was an utter farce, in a long line of farces. That they had 6 months notice and that bugfest shambles was all they could produce speaks volumes about this company.
Been trying to get an answer on that but no luck so far!
In game starport status update galnet from the 6th shows the commodities delivered to each thargoid attacked station under repair, the Gnosis is listed and shows up as repaired!?
This info only shows on the galnet ingame and not the website version
So....if I'm understanding it right....
A bunch of players found an FDev mistake. In an attempt to "involve the community" FDev allowed 10,000+ players to believe that they would be able to explore a since-inaccessible part of the map. Said players spent untold hours excitedly getting ready for this event. Now, FDev tells us that not only was that totally wasted time for the players, but that the thing they planned (a defense kind of story for the Gnosis) was so full of bugs that they've now dedicated a thread to letting us know when they've fixed it.
So we should just applaud FDev for fixing the bugs on an event that, even if it had gone exactly as FDev intended, still amounts to a giant finger to every explorer that boarded the Gnosis?
Good job FDev. You've manage to probably alienate even more of the player base. You should totally expect nothing but thumbs-ups and high-fives.
