Squad Update: 


Elections in Bagalis and LHS 3877. Both for less than control.  Vote early.  Vote Often.


HIP 4907 has stabilized.  Well done everyone…see standing orders for next steps.


Push Mezavini to expand from the Mezavini system (currently 64%) to fill an open slot in Maikoro.


Maikoro expanded into LHS 3980…we’ve talked to the current residents and we will be content hanging out in second place.


Two critically over-heating systems: Lambda Andromedae and 6 Andromendae.  Both without any good expansion destinations…may be to late to stop..

WhErE tHe ChEeSe At? 

Quark (or quarg) is a traditional, creamy, vegetarian, fresh dairy product tracing its origin to German-speaking and Eastern European countries. Quark is said to be a cross between yoghurt and cottage cheese. This fresh, soft, white curd cheese is prepared from pasteurised cow's milk with a small amount of rennet added to achieve a good, firm curd. However, traditional quark is a purely fresh dairy product and does not make use of rennet.

Frameshift Live #26 https://www.youtube.com/live/QpoJ0o9xGYE?feature=share&t=3570


Guest senior designer Tom Kewell
Talks about the concepts and programming on AX scenarios
Mentioned “unoccupied” escape pods as example of their subtle storytelling
Scripts could be “slow ambush” or “active attack” or could trigger when you scoop something
“Interdicted convoy” you can fight off the attacking thargoids, or buy enough time for the convoy to escape; either result benefits the war effort
“Repair convoy” fight or simply hold off attacking thargoids long enough to repair and leave and you benefit the war effort
NPC chatter is not just situational but changes by system state, too
He said NPC have the same sensors as we do so the “nothing on my radar” just means that particular dummy flew too far away and lost sensor range

Butterkase is a semi-soft cheese with a golden natural rind, very popular in Germany and Austria for its creamy texture, buttery like the taste. Its name, when literally translated, means "butter cheese," but the cheese is butter free. Since Butterkase can be sliced, spread or melted it is a perfect table cheese and it’s very good with a glass of beer.
