What do these new shield symbols mean besides Odyssey settlements?
Security levels, previously given in text form, which made the list a bit cluttered.
Looks a bit like how they look from the surface of planets with tenuous atmospheres. They look great!Very small piece of feedback here, but I have to wear sunglasses while passing stars at the moment they are so bright lol I personally don't mind it. This is def a good deal brighter than before.
Hi Sally, just out of curiosity, when will we be able to walk into guardian sites? 
Don't forget affording an Anaconda in a few hours. It took me 6 months playing 8 hours per day to get my first one circa 2016.
Not destroyed yet, still fighting for it in HIP 23716. No worries, the Brazilian are as good at BGS as they are good at soccer. It’s only 1-0 Thargoid
@sallymorganmoore I want to thank you for sticking with the community so long after the release of update 14, and listening to all of the feedback, and helping us the best you could. As someone that has played games for decades, it is rare to find a game where they even bother to care about the players (customers). Having someone like you to bridge the gap between player and dev team is really helpful, encouraging, and what all games should strive to have.
So, thank you again for your help, and for staying with us for so long. I hope you were able to get sleep at some time.
Razar.

Sold out due to high demand, perhaps...
I have a cracking in the game mostly via Comm/when the NPCs are talking. Is there anything you can do?
thx for the Info, maybe when the server restarts on Thursday?
2014 or 2018 :3

Wait, do you mean not only they sold out? they kidnapped the tech brokers too?
If the brokers have no stock they probably shut up shop. Went on vacation.
Cracking? If it's crackling, that's normal radio static applied to the voice recording for authenticity.
LoL, Hopefully, the Thargoid won’t have German Engineering
Okay because the whole thing is weird, had the sound on again for the first time. Didn't know if that was a feature or a bug :3
Is that a Jojo reference?LoL, Hopefully, the Thargoid won’t have German Engineering

First impression of Update 14 are AMAZING for me. So many boxes ticked for the points I was critical of since forever! <3
- Proper war with Thargoids - check!
- Actual consequences for not defending human space - check!
- Exciting battles in varied environments (ground burning stations, orbital installations, megaships, EVERYWHERE!) - check!
- Using the existing mechanics and assests in a new context to give more depth to the gameplay loops - check!
- Improving the existing features instead of adding a new, basic/placeholder ones - check!
Despite lack of new gameplay elements I find this update really great. Honestly, I have been criticising all of the above points since the Thargoids were inserted into the game and the "war" we've had before was one of (if not THE) biggest disappointments in ED development.
Thank you Frontier for listening to the community and finally making the Thargoid war what it should have been from the start! Obviously these are just first impressions, so we'll see as the time progresses, but for now - I am absolutely hyped for this! Also considering that now that 3.8 is dead and full dev effort can go into developing/fixing/improving the game further.
Odyssey has surely been through a bumpy year, but I think there are good times ahead Looking forward to Updates 15 and 16 and the "core feature" upgrade next year!
P.S. A short story from yesterday:
Federal capital ship was defending a burning Odyssey ground settlement from incoming waves of Thargoid ships. I was flying around in an SR shieldless DBX with 45% hull. At some point one of the interceptors deactivated my ship with the pulse and I started tumbling down towards the planet surface (coz gravity). The destruction of my ship from impact seemed inevitable... but I was directly above the capital ship and I sort of hit its flat hull and rolled across it until my power came back.
It was one of "these moments" in Elite, the memorable ones. Love it!
