Based on this, posted on FB earlier today, and the first version posted on Thursday, I'm inclined to believe that the weapon won't be 'fired' until Thursday next week at the earliest. So far, it seems to be two days between each stage, and if that's the case for all stages, it won't be fired until the Tuesday after. That Monday it will be the second day of the 'Weapon Ready' stage, so I'm wondering if the actual firing will then be the next day (Tuesday). We could still be in for another week and a half of waiting....

Elite Dangerous: Update 13 Release Schedule - Elite Dangerous
Greetings Commanders. With Update 13 just around the corner on August 9th, here's a high level itinerary of how deployment day is set to roll out -...
So why are they shutting off the console severs as well? If we are not getting the update ?
The movie for the end of the saga needs to be uploaded to your console?
Where did you read they are shutting off the console servers? I've not seen anything about that.
From the post here, I'd guess:

"All platforms" is mentioned on server downtime
They're thankfully not shutting off console servers, only "down grading"the amount of support we get to "critical updates", likely only bug fixes ..
I only hope we'll still be able to take part in CGs and be part of the BGS after it :0 : D .
Thank you for the explanation.
DrinkyBird gave me the answer I was looking for, but thanks for your description too. I knew about how it would work after the 3.8/4.0 availability in the coming weeks, I was just wondering how it had been done now, before that happens.
I'm not a canyon racer, so that part has never bothered me anyway, and I do like how the planet look in Ody, at least from space anyway. I haven't seen those 'repeated' textures at all so far.
I'm not a console player. PC through and through. Also a Kickstarter backer, so I get all DLCs free as well. Still, I think I probably spent more on the Kickstarter than if I had bought them separately, but then I did get a nice special edition (?) boxed version of the game for my money too.
Ohhh, sorry, I misinterpreted your comment. I thought you meant permanently shutting them off! Doh!From the post here, I'd guess:

Not my comment... but I know what you mean!Ohhh, sorry, I misinterpreted your comment. I thought you meant permanently shutting them off! Doh!
The client code update is Update 13 for Odyssey, downtime can be for server-side narrative and possibly gives scope for client downloading of new art assets
I only hope we get CGs that I actually want to take part in. So far this year, there have been TWO.
any more...
They never did.

Sorry, I don't think you will. The announcement specifically says that they "intend to give all PC players access to version 4.0", so while console players may get to experience the end of the Azimuth story line, they won't get upgraded to 4.0, and by extension get access to that new content, which makes sense because further development on consoles was abandoned because they could not get the new code base to work on them.Hopefully we get those two little bits of "good faith" on consoles before they switch us to bug fix only patches! :0
Ohh you mean what we have been getting for the past year or so
. I think ( my personal opinion only) that after the transfers , the console version will have less and less affect on BGS and stuff and it will become its own little server before Fdev turn round and say well we only have x amount of console players ( for some reason
) so it's not viable to run it .Yes, the mission category "Thargoid" or "Anti Xeno" was there but is now gone...unless I'm totally off my rocker, which is a distinct possibility.
Of course if you were specifically referring to listed missions in that category then I am completely wrong...
There was never a Thargoid or similar category in the on-foot mission board. It is however always present in the ship mission board, even when no Thargoid missions are available. Someone then posted that as "there's a Thargoid category in the mission board!" and people misinterpreted it as the on-foot mission board (I guess because they forgot that categories for ship-based missions was also a new feature in Odyssey) and the rumour has yet to die.
On the flip-side, Frontier is still charging money for Horizons on consoles. So what happens when they sell copies of Horizons on Monday and then Tuesday they pull the plug on the servers?Ohh you mean what we have been getting for the past year or so

Not that this is unheard of, as I bought MAG on PS3 and sometime later the servers were shut down and I owned an unplayable game. I had owned and played it long enough to not even think of asking for a refund, but I wonder now what Sony did with people who bought it the day before the servers were shuttered.
