GAME NEWS
There is little further news to date with regards to Update 13 beyond that it is still on course for release in August.
Console transfers are also in development we’re lucky to have one of our mentors in the early adopters programme for this, so we should know more about how the process actually works in practice soon. Expected date for the normal public transfers are in September.
It’s worth noting again what FDev have said to date with regards to the transfer if you are intending on using this opportunity to clone your account.

SQUADRON NEWS
Some sad news this week, CMDR Dalvon, the dreaded Raccoon of Terror, flier of spaceships, and rider of horses, has left the server. He’s spent a lot less time here recently, with real life demanding more of his time, and finally felt that it was time to close out his time with NEWP fully, and indeed spend a lot less time in discord in general. We started and built this community together, he’ll be greatly missed, and the place won’t be the same without him, but, I’m incredibly lucky to have an amazing staff team here, who are going to keep building and running the incredible community we have built.
A huge thankyou to everyone in the Mentor team, and everyone on the community who continues to make NEWP the awesome place that it is.

The incredible guys in the Faction Ops (BGS) team have leapt to action to defend our innocent citizens, but have asked me to put out a Call To Arms for all our members. If you are willing and able to help out, head down to the faction-chat channel on discord to find out how you can defend your faction.
