   1. Ben’s favourite comment “Raxxla” by Jools Day 😀
3. Monday – Discovery Scanner
   1. On Saturday afternoon (UTC), some Commanders attempting to enter the Galaxy via Steam were facing an issue whereby their Steam login was replaced with the ‘purchase/redeem’.
      1. We are aware that this issue has been encountered sporadically before and primarily advise that, should it happen again in the future, that you do not take action against your account linking in order to independently fix the issue but await further information via official Elite Dangerous channels, as to when communication between Steam and the Galaxy has been restored.
   2. Update 14 is still marked for release at the end of November. We would like to reassure you that there is no further change to this schedule as of this week and hope to release a formal date for your diary soon.

Mostly Clueless

1. Thargoid Ground bases need probes etc to open them… Alec’s tip is to drop your probe on the floor…. It might keep the door open and then you can get your SLF into the Thargoid Base
