Yuna SakashiroSo, Salvation had lots of cybernetic implants? I thought the lore says cybernetics are kinda lower class stuff in the ED universe, for people who can't afford better?


I'd venture to guess that as old as Salvation was, he might have been at a point where nothing else would have worked other than cybernetics at that point.

MiseriBad News Buckaroos,
THE ANGRY GOIDS are spreading
Please take caution when traveling in the Pleiades region as it seems the insta kill goids have started moving out from the HIP 22460 system

Did I mention that we at Azimuth Biotech are really really sorry about all this
and were trying to figure out how to help

Well, FDev did mention that the galaxy won't be the same, especially after update 14.

I'm not into the Goid stuff, but the fact that things are in motion is a good sign. It shows that FDev hasn't mothballed the game yet.

In before the goid's spreading is actually an unintended glitch (like when they appeared in CQC) but FDev is just rolling with it.

I missed that part, now I wonder if they'll do the same if you multicrew with someone.

Perhaps we will finaly see people not flying cardboard ships anymore.

One can just hope.

It would not surprise me if hyperdictions from goids become normal gameplay outside of thargoid controlled systems/regions, probably once certain conditions are met from the player (combat rank, game hours played, some more under the hood stuff). Better git gud at either fighting or running.

I guess at this point there is not much point in my avoiding picking up Thargoid sensors or probes to avoid that perma boost chance to getting Hypderdicted
because the way things are going its not gonna help avoid a thing is it

Compelling the carebears to build proper ships by planting an alien race of gankers into solo mode. Stroke of genius, FDev!

Time to stock up on popcorn for the forum backlash, lol. I can hear the wailing and gnashing of teeth already.

But will they backport the menace to client 3.8?

Odyssey is the real menace.

Followed by the DING DONG THE WYCH IS DEAD company party to be held shortly afterwards



I wouldn’t go so far as to party over his demise, but I do ask myself “is mankind better off regarding our dealings with the Thargoids as a result of his bungled efforts?”
The most recent and widespread hostile hyperdictions seem to answer that!

Thanks fer nuthin’, Salvation my arse!

Story material is supposedly going to be connected to 3.8, although people on 3.8 won't get to play with peeps from 4.0

I was pretty much expecting to get attacked by Thargoids carrying that stuff (in solo) into HIP 22460 during the GC's, but it seemed it was the usual if you don't mess with them, they won't with you. Nowhere in sight, even. Kind of immersion-breaking, really.

How flying such cargo around would pan out at the mo', no idea. Judging by the galleries, plenty of people have been toying with the relics though, or does all that involve lots of battle?

Unfortunately not. As This Post explicitly states only EDH4 and EDO will engage in future narrative content. EDH3.8 will receive essential maintenance only.

Jackalgas100Has anyone turned a ship that was outfitted or made into something else in terms of specifications for said ships? Here's mine, I once turned a keelback into a bounty hunter ship and worked quite well with a fighter. For me atleast



Type 9 into a racing ship ? XD


I turned a t7 into an express messenger / priority shipment. It is paper, but outruns most, and jumps 40ly empty and 27 loaded. Works for me. Good for PP paperwork runs. Sure, pushing a T7 for jump range and speed is abomination, but I really like that crate
