GAME NEWS
First up, we have information on update 6 which should be arriving later this week.
This update is focused on improving how performance and looks (improvements to lighting, textures, colour variation of planets, etc).
The thread also provides info on some upcoming improvements, including QOL improvements such as increased module storage, and bookmarks, and the somewhat nebulous but promising “create stronger links between the in-cockpit and on foot game”. They are also pointing to the issue tracker which they are using to prioritise issues. So, if you want something fixed, push people to vote for it.
In general this feels like things are starting to move in the right direction after a very difficult launch. Hopefully things continue to improve.****
FACTION NEWS
Message from Faction Command .
**Landslide victory for New Pilot’s Initiative! An election win has transferred control of Ross 1003 and its stations to NEWP. Don’t thank our politicians- thank our Faction Ops Pilots who made it all possible!
**But, no rest for our CMDRs! They now fight home turf wars in both our Tiethay and Wolf 437 systems. Faction Ops aims to put down the insurrectionists quickly, as weeks of planning are about to unfold with NEWP’s expansion into a whole new system.
**Faction Command is always looking for pilots to join the cause, no matter what experience or skills they have. If you’re yearning for a life beyond mining painite and hauling bertrandite, come talk to us in discord.
