Dodge the Gank was fun but I messed up the stream Dredger and Hesperus might be leaving on the 21st  A quiz show all about elite Thargoids appear in multiple systems and a coded message from Salvation Squad Update:  2 current elections: Calarum (0-0) and V640 (2-2) Purge of bad neighbors from HIP 4907 completed (Manic Preachers from Ruchbah should fill the gap) Imminent expansion from NLTT 2969 run-away train system.  Probably going to Hecate to be neighbors with BoTM) but several systems extremely close in influence. Signs that the Latvian Apocalypse may be losing steam?? Hemorrhaging influence in Unktomi, HIP 4907, Semakhmets Priorities: Both elections, but especially V640 due to Fedneck interference. Anything and everything to reduce LSN influence in NLTT 2969 so we can shut it down Build influence in HIP 4907 Galnet Recap: https://community.elitedangerous.com/ The Voice of ‘Salvation’ (21 May deadline) Alliance Election Campaigns Resume Paresa Conflict Risks War Between Superpowers Nova Imperium Triumphs Over Federation Mass Thargoid Strike - Emergency Declared Dev news: Tuesday Live stream:             Zac and Sally super cruise news, Now with “CMDR Creations” They tried mailslot stunts with a 100% fail rate. (applause)  Odyssey/Horizons Compatibility Update Horizons will NOT get updated engine tech at launch, and will be an entirely separate game instance. At console launch, horizons will then also get the updated lighting and planetary tech.  Maybe still instancing separation by PEGI?   https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/horizons-odyssey-compatibility.574677/ Discussion I see in discord seems to think this is very, very bad, but it didn’t bother me so much.
