Thargoid War balance changes.

Greetings Commanders,

As mentioned as part of Discovery Scanner this week, we alerted you of some forthcoming balance adjustments, in relation to Thargoid War activity, to better reflect recent player actions and feedback.

These will be incoming as part of tomorrow's routine maintenance tick.

Thargoid War balance changes.
  • Previously unpopulated systems that are now under Thargoid Control or Alert states will be easier to push back.
  • Thargoids will deprioritize expanding into unpopulated systems.

Additionally, Commanders, you will be wise to keep your eyes wide for the latest news from GalNet tomorrow...
We hear someone may be about to author us some important information...

Here's hoping you're having a great week so far.

Greetings Commanders,

A gentle 'Discovery Scanner' for you today, kicking off with the following game news:

GAME NEWS

Interim January Update:
In last week's Discovery Scanner we shared information of a forthcoming 'interim update', ahead of the next greater scale update of 'Update 15', which will look to address a number of remaining core issues, present and reported since the release of Update 14, due to you before the January month ends.

This plan remains the case and we do owe Commanders a specified date for this deployment.
As soon as we have it, we will let you know.
