It's on Galnet. Sounds to me like they are providing a lore foundation for Spacelegs. Nanomeds will be the way to heal yourself, am I right? [yesnod]

Best not pay any attention to Galnet, it's just background fluff to make us all think that more is going on than there actually is.

Wasn't the last Galnet nonsense about personal computers (or whatever it was) supposed to herald spacelegs?
Frontier hasn't even started discussing what is coming next yet, so at the very least the next expansion is several months away from release. Judging by the fact they only recently went "full production mode" on it, I doubt we'll see any news on it until 2019's Gamescom at the earliest. If that expansion is the first part of Space Legs I wouldn't expect a release before Dec 2019. Then what would be the point in releasing the first hints now, and through some obscure story on galnet of all things? When Frontier does SL, they'll want to hit the community hard and flood the gaming press with all the CGI they can conjure up just a few months before release.
Yes, it's just "fluff to make us thinkg there is more going on than there actually is". People have been enjoying such things, to take their mind off of what actually is, since the dawn of times. If next time you feel like being less periphrastic (and less of a downer), you can call it a story.

I haven't taken Galnet seriously for years. Something gets announced & all the hints dropped are pointed to as if to imply I should have been able to work it out when all I see is countless conspiracy theories, any one of which could be true but I haven't a clue which one until it gets announced.
So no more guessing from me, just let me land on atmospheric worlds, interact with their associated gameplay & maybe get out of my seat every so often.

How galnet rumours start:
Galnet: Thargoids attack Walker Hub
Players: zomfg Walker = spacelegz confirmed

I followed it, but hadn't made that connection. Could be tin foil hat, but could not be.
Well, if we don't see another article about nanomeds suddenly found to be causing body parts to fall off, this might be something (wouldn't put it past them). I've got to admit this does look like a pre-cursor to medi-gel/stimpaks. If it is, there's still how long before they decide to make this usable 'in-field'.

This lol.
If it arrives, FD will need higher capacity.
I can't think of a more highly requested feature anywhere in gaming.
I don't mind the fact that many things in GalNet have NOTHING to do with the game meta. It's there to make the galaxy feel more alive, provide fodder for those doing a bit of RP in the universe, to inform their decisions when they decide to back or fight someone, or just to give a sense of a larger universe.
Almost zero percent of what you watch on the Evening News has anything to do with you, after all, but many people want to stay informed about recent events anyway.

That's certainly a fair comment.
I definitely enjoy reading/listening to galnet articles when I get the chance.
I just wouldn't put much stock in them as a source of information predicting what might show up in the game.
About the only articles that are worth "taking seriously" are the ones providing information about system-states etc, which can help players identify places where interesting things might be happening.
I agree with your suggested timelines as being a much more likely chain of events, but I have to publicly admit I am really impressed by the word periphrastic. +1 rep for introducing me to a new word, even though I think ou have its meaning slightly wrong.
Its not a requested feature, it is a promised feature, during the kickstarter days David Braben said walking about in the galaxy would be part of the game that he was seeking funding for. I'm not disagreeing with you, just preemptively shooting down the vociferous minority of space legs naysayers.
Technically the game already has the lore for Call of Duty / Doom / Medal of Honour / Etc style med kits, they are called combat stabilisers, their in game description reads thus:
However the nanomeds might be part of the lore as to how we can as players never really die, perhaps these nanoneds offer members of the pilots federation - ie us - a way to cheat death, and be reincarnated via a "rebuy screen". Maybe these nanites enable us to cease the ageing process, thus only our mind/memories change, and each time we hook into our ships systems a neural back up is made, ready to upload to one of our perviously cloned/replicated "spare bodies"?*
Maybe we are just tinfoiling and dreaming of legs (and atomspherics) while FDev have already decided two years more of knocking out paint jobs and we'll turn the servers off?
Either way - merry christmas!
*or other such scifi/scifantasy tropes
So thats where fargod cult did its recruitment?
