If they can make fancy Thargoid throwing stars and Titans, they could add a feature that should really be there for customization. Have they thought about those of us who want to wear hats or need to conceal their identity to some degree without wearing a helmet outright?
Or maybe we don’t want to wear a silly cowboy/rancher hat on top of a helmet.

Did you enjoy it or at least find it relaxing?
Eh. I thought it was a novel thing I haven't done, but the amount of time it takes to mine makes it ultimately less lucrative than literally just doing a Trade Loop. While you can technically make more credits mining, it's literally just faster for me to run a trade loop from my Squadron headquarters and a neighboring system.

Monolith PreacherAnyone remember the smuggling update FDev mentioned they were gonna improve upon?
Think it'll happen by 2030?
Speaking of which, think we'll get any new gameplay features by 2025?
I've been outta the loop for almost 2 years and w/ the exception of Thargoid welcoming parties I've not noticed much difference.
Nope.
Looks like they'll keep updating the game until the 10th anniversary next year. We'll probably see the end of the tharg war and with it a bit more content - new ship / new on foot, possible thargoid zombies etc. But with the cuts to jobs and the focus on expensive titles (F1, Warhammer), I don't expect a huge amount to change.
After 2024 I suspect we'll get told there will be no further updates to ED and it will be given a 5-year life on servers.
However, they have already stated their support for space sims in the future, so I'd go out on a limb and say sometime in 2025 they'll announce a new elite game.

A CMDR Harrier_1961 of the Legacy Division of the Alliance Rapid-Reaction Corps (ARRC) has reached out in the Squadron Recruitment Centre Discord with the proposition of a union of Legacy Squadrons (of which the simple name, "Legacy Squadron Union," or, "LSU," has been coined) across the PlayStation and Xbox platforms, of which I had also been considering myself, to help compensate for the dramatically lowered activity on Legacy platforms after Frontier mimicking Crowd Control Productions in how they've treated Elite Dangerous.
CMDR Harrier_1961 has also created similar reach-out posts on the Frontier Forums, Reddit, and Facebook.
If there are Legacy CMDRs that would like to cooperate under this inter-squadron Legacy Squadron Union, please let myself or CMDR Harrier_1961 know. We can both be found in the Squadron Recruitment Centre, if you'd like to reach out to both simultaneously.
Thank you, and fly safe comrades!

QuillmonkeyWe tried the fungicide solution before. Worked a treat then, sure it'll be fine now.
Yeah... Introducing biological contaminants into their logistics train seems like Mycoid Redux, with extra steps.
We're already doing a great job of isolating and retaking spire systems, which seems like it would have more impact than a slow-drip poisoning.

This will do something to the Titans too. I have extremely big doubts the result will be good for either side.

MiseriI have thought about asking them nicely since violent measures have not worked in 200 years i think its a good time to give it a try
Would be nice, yea, but even though the Guardians were able to fully translate Thargoid language, Thargoids had no interest in communication unfortunately

So I don’t consider it much valid evidence to use in a “Don’t talk kill all Thargoids” argument.
