It is bad gameplay to give hints to certain parts of the whole community, why not ie " it is a report of something " from all the planets and data gathered from downed satellites/beacons.
And the data gathered entered to the various Empire/Federation/Alliance agencies, even if they have breakaway radical agents......
If we are following the lore, which we aren't why are we searching for Thargoids? we made peace, and shared technology..... no mention of a new war, or a remnant left to say we start a new war, it is ok to follow the old Elite through the ages, but bend and alter to certain, "D n D " mongerers....... it is a full game with over thousands of players, not a hand full of i WANT MY NAME IN STARS community. if we all are in the game then let us know from more info, let it be equal.... seems we have favourites in this game..... and it is bent accordingly, and given that why after chaining upto 8 poi's the game crashes? I have been all around the sisters for 2 weeks, on all the planets, nothing, no nothing, and why in this area of space? the lore points to Polaris, even, Allioth, and when the Thargoids made peace it was a planet asked for Mercury in Ross 154. of all info these were the planets involved : Arcturus, Zelada, Tau Ceti -3 , Delta Pavonis, Beta Hydr - 4 , Altair - 5 , Achenar -5, Alioth ( Olitiqu gateway ) "Argent's claim" which is the best ship ever built, apart from Thargoid ships, Fortress culloden on Mik Turners home world, is not there, it is all shoddy, and just add this here and keep it going for hours, of grind and grind, if you have been planetside you will know, not much reward and a grind, and up and down mountains is no fun, prob if the info and big story arc was introduced into the game, and not put a plaster and add game content because of the "UA" which was hand fed into the game.... a poor set of principles, we all play in the verse, and we all should see the gameplay.... ie more info, messages, galnet info, just a mission pops up? they don't pop up any more..... I believe the " Meta Alloy " was just added recently, I was in beta Horizons and never saw a description for this, or a mission, I did planet rove about, and it was a pain, it is easier now, Good luck with the search, it will drop when it needs to drop, when a game can be twiddled accordingly well we pay for the toothache.... there is a problem with the Barnacle search, even when you find the Barnacles you will crash to desktop....
More needs to be addressed .
