Just in case your twitter feed is flooded with *other* news:

CQ1: The awesomeness of the Odyssey trailer was undone by canceling Galnet. How good can EDO be if they lack the resources to tweet a weekly in-game news announcement?

As you all mentioned, why can’t they outsource or have fans do it for free? After a year or two, when they are ready to resume direct control, they just have someone like Spencer McDunn release a video, out of breath, about how he broke free from capture and is back to set the record straight.

CQ2: Another publisher does a dev team dirty–like what happened to the #Descent devs. It soured what interest I had in #Kerbal–and underscores why CIG keeps selling ships to have financial independence to avoid these kinds of problems.

General Feedback: Ah, nice to see I was not banned from the show but rather my tweets had been hidden on Twitter. I wonder what news event(s) could have flooded your feed? Hmm. 😉

As for Space Legs, it’d be nice if you could walk inside your ship, even if all the interiors are the same, that could be explained: “GNN (Galactic News Network): In light of the return of the Thargoids & the need to explore more of the galaxy, the Pilots Federation has agreed to standardize ship interiors ala cockpits. This’ll speed up getting Cmdrs into & beyond the Bubble.”

As for some of the previous CQs:

* No, I didn’t buy/try a fleet carrier. I see even riding one can be dangerous, what with reports of players getting left behind and stranded by them: https://www.polygon.com/2020/6/11/21287826/elite-dangerous-fleet-carriers-aphelion-expedition-fell-asleep

* Rexxla disciple? No, to quote Stargate SG-1’s Teal’c, “Beware false gods.”

* The remaining 2/3 of the Epic May announcements will be made after 3.10 patch ships … June-ish(?). Is Alien week “epic” news?

* Yes, I actually managed to log into SC and after blowing up several times trying to launch, and my Aurora’s chair disappear when I got it Flight Ready, my Avenger Titan did launch and I eventually go to Bainjini(?) Point to see the fleet flyby during Invictus Week.

P.S. I agree with Geoff that Tony should grow his beard back. His unshaven face looks unnatural. Yet, hearing WHY Tony has shaved his face fuzz, to better seal his mask so he can see elderly family and better prevent them from exposure to the corona virus. Blast it, Tony, you’ve ruined my grousing about your face (ala Tom Selleck shaving his mustache, the horror!) by making a personal sacrifice for others. Fine. That’s a noble thing to do, Tony. Sigh. Well done. 😉
