    5. A bug that swapped the names of certain locations and markets in the game has also been fixed (with key examples such as Ceres Tarn receiving its original name once more!).

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

  1. The AXI had a Bug hunt over the weekend
  2. Operation IDA are working on Szilard Hub in Wakandini

Main discussion

  1. Kai Zen – Turning the Wheel 
    1. Experiment: Test whether expanding The Dark Wheel non-player minor faction (TDW), either in general or targeted to key locations, would unlock any permit, or cause any change in the game (ie unlock missions or other clues).
    2. Reasoning: I believe that TDW is the “obvious” lead that we are meant to do something with, and many have agreed with this thought and individually tried all sorts of things to follow that lead, but to the best of my knowledge there has been no concerted and successful efforts to expand the faction through the BGS to see if it would do anything.
    3. Secondary Objective: To minimize adverse effects upon any player factions, and work diplomatically with any groups we interact with, to minimize any harm caused to them and try and avoid any poor relations.
    4. Phase 1: To expand TDW to the Sol System.
    5. Phase 2: To expand TDW to the Lave System.
    6. Phase 3: To expand TDW to the Robigo System (as the closest possible system to Polaris).
    7. Phase 4: To expand TDW to being present in 50 systems.
