In-Game Events – what’s happened this week?

  1. Empire Denies the Secret prison.
  2. Mining CG
    1. Engineer’s Enhanced Missile Rack Initiative
      1. Reward: The module is a fully engineered lightweight and high capacity Class 2 Seeker Missile Rack with thermal cascade. It was offered in October 3306 to pilots who helped defend the Eurybia system from Imperial forces.
    2. ANNOUNCEMENT Important Information on the Enhanced Missile Rack Initiative
      1. materials need to be mined in order to count. 
      2. The reward for this week’s goal works differently to how you may expect. Rather than unlocking the item in outfitting, you directly purchase the module with the resources. You can get two by obtaining double the resources.
      3. We’ve seen some confusion in regards to the resources needed for the module. You use the resources listed (Proto radiolic alloy, conductive ceramics, hybrid capacitors, phosphorus and osmium) for the purchase rather than the mined materials (bromellite, lithium hydroxide, and samarium). Apologies for any confusion caused.
  3. Jupiter Rochester named as a co-conspirator in the destruction of Starship One.
  4. Admiral Vincent found guilty – sentenced to life (?). Jupiter Rochester makes a run for the permit locked HIP 54530
  5. Warning about the The Fleet Carrier Scammer Scandal.
    1. The Pilot’s Interview with the ‘Slaver’
    2. Has also been covered by Obsidian Ant, D2EA and MassivelyOP MMO Site

Shoutouts

  1. We want to send some massive love to Baz Floyd from Special Effect, who had a stroke late last year. Sadly despite being in isolation he also somehow caught covid. We’re glad to say that even though he’s still in hospital and he still has a long road ahead of him, he is on the mend, he’s already beaten the COVID and he’s regaining faculties.  Further we’d also like to send our love to his partner Ali Hilborne.
  2. Paige’s “Through Our Eyes” stream which had loads of ‘marginalised’ streamers. From people in the LGBTQIA+ Community, to people with Mental and Physical Health Issues, to BIPOC streamers. Some of their stories were heartbreaking, some were inspirational. There was so much love in the stream it was great. On of the people I found most interesting was a streamer with Dissociation with Parts who’s called “Hobohaus” – HoboHaus – Twitch  It was so interesting watching watching and listening to them talking about their system and how they’re learning to live with themselves. If you want to watch it the VODs are on Arthremis’ YouTube
