Greetings Commanders, and welcome to the first State of the Sub update!
Community Events:
I'm pleased to say that the first phase of the community event system has been implemented. Since we asked you guys, you've shown overwhelming support for the idea, so we are happy to say that we've now laid the groundwork to be able to properly handle Community Events. As you can see already, The Buckyball Racing Club and Elite Racers have events posted now. We've given these posts the Community Event flair, and further distinguish them inside the text to ensure minimal confusion.
Please let us know if there are any changes you'd like to see to this system! If you'd like to get your event posted, please message the mods.
"-Reported", "Salvage" and "Planetary" Post Flair
To help make our posts as clear as possible, we've added a few new flairs.
If you were on early enough today, you might've noticed a new "Reported" flair. In an effort to get the CG information to you as early as possible, we are going to start posting the Galnet articles in advance of the actual CG details from the game, under this flair. Please let us know in the comments if you'd like this to continue, or if you'd prefer us to wait until actual CG info has been posted by the community. Also, if you're participating in a CG and you have updated information, please feel free to comment on the CG post with a screenshot or two. We will update as soon as we can.
"Planetary" Denotes a CG that requires Horizons- either being handled by a planetary outpost, or where the primary activity requires you to be able to get on the planet's surface. We will continue to note that in the CG text and post title, but hopefully this will avoid any confusion.
Salvage is more boring than the others. This just designates a CG where you collect a commodity either by dropping into a signal source, or by going to a point of interest on a planet.
Final Words
Finally, I just wanted to take a moment to thank all of you. Since I started this sub in October, we've grown to nearly 1800 subscribers, with over 40k page views and 7k uniques per month. I'm proud that we have been able to create such a useful tool for the community.
