Questions

• Question from Cmdr Myrt of the Diamond Frogs
  
  Howdy folks! I was sad to learn last week that you don’t get letters sent in, and truly your discussion of future console releases was insightful and pleasant, so here’s my request:
  
  I’d like to hear your collective thoughts on historical snapshots, periodically – maybe an occasional segment with the proverbial ghost of christmas past.
  
  Since everyone’s a dev these days, all vars double in this example:
  {
    this month x years ago we got patch y,
    which brought features z1, z2, and z3,
    all of which were horrible and spaced babies until
    patch y.1 fixed the obstetrics airlocks,
    but added z4:
        an rng multiplier to all tile-layers'
        spinal integrity.
    How features did z* play out?
}
  
  The forums are purged but we’ve been through so much game evolution, it would be lovely if you chaps could help keep the history of fdev’s work in perspective while we all fantasize about 2020’s release.
  
  Probably best not to try reading this aloud.
  <flush sound>,
  Cmdr Myrt,
  Diamond Frogs

  Simple question , what’s with the DBX that was stolen , was it the one that did a flyby of Hutton and then zoomed off quicker than it should , and is it linked to the secret new hyperdrive tech that Sirius got from buying hyper technology’s?
