Thargoids in 2.0.7?

I'm always optimistic that they'll sneak something into an update and not put it in the patch notes.


This.
I like this game because it's constantly progressing. But (yes, there is a but) you really have to be patient with the development team. The structural basis of the software is very solid ( where are bugs ? I did last year little of everything and I did not find anything serious about it).
Anyway, I also expect new about Thargoids or other forms of life.
Impatient to see:
- Alien vessels;
- New alien Planetary and Space base;
- Alien Technolgie available after negotiations;
- Solar systems dominated by alien with all that this entails;
- Ability to really communicate with another form of intelligence etc.

All this with a new completely redesigned Galaxy visually with animated effects surprises of all kinds. Thus, to travel over long distances without NEVER, NEVER know what can come in the way would be great.

I know that ED has a 10-year development plan, and it is on this long-term evaluation that the work of programmers, designers and writers is built.
Patience is truly a virtue.
The while surely worth it.

Sorry Drew, you have always been very clear about that.

I just got carried away with the thought that FD said '2.1 is a huge release' while the features it contains don't sound all that big compared to previous releases. This leads to speculation that they're working on something more than is being said and hence the idea of a secret 'minor' release that turns out to contain a major change.

I casually dropped in your mentioning of 'clues in april' to make the argument more appealing. Think about it, today we get a new release, with secrets inside, and in the course of April the easter eggs start popping.

Anyway, it was just a silly thought.

No problem, Commander. I was just concerned that folks might be expecting something significant in April itself, which was based upon my understanding of the release date of v2.1 at the time. That's shifted out now.

Cheers,

Drew.

2.1 should take max 2 weeks. It is a lot of job to do, but not for frontier: I would do it myself in 3 months...
I have same feeling that I had before horizons announcement: Team of 2-3 guys are working on updates and rest are working at something else.
 
Thargoids will be the headliners for 3.0 (Or later x.0 seasons), and so pretty much guaranteeing a huge uptake in, and sales for, that season.

It's just good business. Sorry.
 
<Spoiler>

I think that the Thargoids will attack the bubble with *one* ship.

Thousands of players will look for them during weeks, in vain, because it will be idling in the middle of nowhere, in some random empty system, at some unknown coordinates. Realizing that it's maybe a bit too hard to find, FD will release a clue via some billionaire NPC (in fact Michael B. in disguise). At which point the Thargoids ship will be found in a few minutes by some really fast googling player.

We will discover that there is no way to interact with the Thargoid ship except pewpew. So everybody will pewpew it and make selfies, Obsidian Ant will make a 20mn long vid, and after 2 days everybody will go home to farm HRESs.

Then FD will release a few times the same CG : the community will have to shoot 1000000000 Thargoids ships in a week, which the players will be able to do only by respawning said Thargoid ship endlessly thanks to the logoffski maneuver aka "emergent gameplay". Oh, and at some point, Prof. I. Palin will get kidnapped. Again.

</spoiler>
