When a war is resolved, all battle sites will return to being standard settlements under the control of the faction that won the most Conflict Zones at that particular battle site during the War.

New machinima webseries A CMDR travels 84,341LY with no scoop Community questions Squad Update: Quiet, but some things to do. Galnet Recap: https://community.elitedangerous.com/ Tuesday Live stream: https://youtu.be/xZwxgfuqdzk Piers Jackson, game director, talks about the development and Alpha process.  w Talks about the “Trunk” and “Branches”.  The Alpha was out of date before we started Why didn’t this convo happen before the alpha started? It would have solved so much salt, made things more fun for everyone, and likely lead to better feedback. AI behavior, stealth, and crime has all been reworked but didn’t make it to the alpha 9 new on foot engineers for suits/weapons. Scopes, speed, mag size, suppressors, autoloader Dr. Kay Ross, Principal Render Programmer, Talks about what they’ve seen as they watch people play Optimization: particularly occlusion wasn’t happening. Lots of the planet gen was placeholders. The gist of hers was that, again, things in the alpha don’t even really represent where the “trunk” was even as we played the alpha.

For me it is how the death mechanics will work for physical multicrew. We know how it will work with single player, but know nothing about physical multicrew. Those same mechanics when applied to physical multicrew present MANY problems and have the potential to be quite punishing. I have some interesting ideas of how it might work but I’m curious to know what you guys think.” Cheese

In Game News: https://community.elitedangerous.com/ The empire repeats its calls for the Marlinist refugees to be deported back to imperial space and the feds continue to refuse. Aisling Duval heals her cousin Hadrian with vitadyne nanomeds. And some federal systems are struggling to cope with all the political refugees. The empire repeals new evidence which they say shows the NMLA terrorists had federal help, and may have a second bomb lab is federal space. The Empire’s counter-terrorism operation in the LTT 1935 system has triggered armed resistance from the Federation. The feds don’t take this lightly and called in pilots federation support… A CG in LTT 1935! Participants will gain military rank for the superpower they side with, based on the percentile they end the CG in; and in the case of a successful CG, the top 10 CMDRs will be elevated to the highest rank for that superpower.

Feds tried to invade after a nascent Empire destroyed sentient life in Achenar. Coined the “Great Battle of Liberation”. This was the last/only open conflict, and it was with a newly formed Empire. 3303: Proxy war in the Pleiades to control Thargoid structures. Ended essentially in a stalemate. Conflict zones appeared, but in the end both sides withdrew forces from the Pleiades following the joint formation of Aegis. https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/590347eee9c9d440e1380e2a https://i.imgur.com/NSWUKup.png

(Apparently the paint not working on PS4?) Cqc seems to be broken, too. And to top it off, the game is on steam sale for 75% off until November 2.  Squad Update:  All is quiet on the front, or quiet before the storm? In Game News: https://community.elitedangerous.com/ The Federation congress has voted to grant sanctuary to the Marlinist immigrants. The next day Imperator Hadrian Augustus Duval was wounded in an assassination attempt. NMLA claims responsability, It happened inside the headquarters of Nova Imperium, which firmly stands against NMLA in their statement. Hadrian Duval is the illegitimate grandson of Emperor Hengist. His father, the late Commander Hector Jansen, was the result of a secret liaison with a household slave. Although disowned by the Imperial Family, Hadrian claims to be a rightful heir to the throne. Interesting they are hitting currently not-in-power Duvals, eh?  Curious... Both CGs have completed and for the first time in several weeks we don’t have a new one directly replacing it. The delivery CG finished in Tier 3, providing supplies to sustain the Marlinist populations in the LTT 3607, Charunder and Ennead systems until federal support comes in. The combat CG to protect the delivery ships also finished just shy of tier 4. Collect rewards way out at Fox Enterprise in LFT 625. Halloween event! Firstly, there’s new livery stuffs.
