    • No system to remove a power emergently

    • Removing link between powers and government type (eye roll)

    • No direct BGS impact… (but obviously all your actions that impact PP also impact BGS so this seems like a insane thing to say)

    • No way to impact PP without being pledged (couched in comments that 

    • they want players to feel connected to it)

    • Visible effects on the world? …….  Yes…… literally the only thing they extensively talked about already

    • Player effort uncapped

    • Balance small/large powers.  Large spread out, while small have some bonuses to even the field

WhErE tHe ChEeSe At?

Huntsman is a concoction of two classic cheeses produced in the English countryside. Double Gloucester is a firm, mellow and tangy cheese made only from the milk of Gloucester cows in southwestern England while Stilton Blue cheese is a blue-veined, strong, smooth and creamy cheese with a distinctive flavor profile. It is a difficult cheese to cook with, but visually stunning on a cheese platter. Each cheese could have its own wine pairing, but together they go well with ales and beers.

Juustoleipä (cheese bread), originally comes from Southern Ostrobothnia, Northern Finland. It is known in English as 'Finnish squeaky cheese' because it "squeaks'' against the teeth when bitten. It’s a fresh cheese made from cow's beestings, rich milk from a cow that has recently calved. It can be made also from reindeer or even goat's milk. The cheese is 'toasted' during its preparation and it contains about 20 to 22% fat while today's lighter versions contain about 12% fat.

WhErE tHe ChEeSe At?

Airag, also called Kumis or Ayrag is a fermented dairy product made from raw mare's milk. It is the traditional drink for many people of Central Asia, particularly of Huno-Bulgar, Turkic and Mongol origin. The milk can be mildly alcoholic, but it needs to be consumed in enormous quantities to have any noticeable effect.


The milk is fermented by a combination of lactic acid bacteria and yeast in a horse-hide container called a "saba". Since the milk is fermented; Airag is suitable for lactose intolerant people. The taste of the milk is sour but can be quite yummy. Airag is used to make cheese, yogurt.

WhErE tHe ChEeSe At?

.Brânza de burduf is a soft sheep's milk cheese produced in Transylvania, on the slopes of the high Bucegi Mountains in the Carpathians, Romania.


To make it, fresh Caș produced from the raw milk of heritage sheep breeds such as Turcana and Tigae is cut into small pieces, salted and then hand-mixed in a large wooden bowl. It is then left to age inside coaj de brad (fir tree bark) to obtain Brânzá de Burduf.


Brânzá de Burduf is produced from May to July when the bark is rich in aromatic resin. They are processed and sewn together to produce cylindrical containers that are sealed with bark discs at the edges. Brânzá is aged in these containers from 20 days to 2-3 months. As it ripens, its flavour becomes increasingly spicy and salty.

Mozzarella is the most eaten cheese in the world. It's a southern Italian dairy product traditionally made from buffalo milk. Fresh mozzarella is generally white but when seasoned it turns to a light yellow depending on the animal's diet. Due to its high moisture content, it is traditionally served the day after it is made but can be kept in brine for up to a week or longer when sold in vacuum-sealed packages.

Cheese.

Archaeologists have identified a substance found inside an ancient Egyptian tomb: 3,200-year-old cheese. The discovery was significant, as no cheese had previously been found in Ancient Egypt before, and could be the oldest cheese residue on earth. The material analyzed is probably the most ancient archaeological solid residue of cheese ever found to date. We know it was made mostly from sheep’s and goat’s milk. The tomb is located at the Saqqara necropolis near Cairo.

Galnet Update: Galnet News | Elite Dangerous Community Site

Aegis has continued to monitor the recently shifting Thargoid behavior and have confirmed a clear pattern.

Expansion efforts have slowed in recent weeks, with experts theorizing that this change in the Thargoids was a precursor to a change in overall strategy. Aegis researchers have now gathered enough evidence to confirm a tactical shift.

The Thargoids have adopted a more defensive stance, reinforcing their current position rather than expanding outward. They are also targeting and invading populated systems exclusively, sometimes without their normal scouting operations.

Dr. Jeong-Hui Shing of the Holloway Bioscience institute offered the following view:

“That lack of scouting is the most fascinating element of this change to me. A military man may claim it to be a desperate enemy lashing out at its opponent, but I see something deeper.”

“Foregoing expansion to prioritize the defense of their remaining Titans is intelligent, not desperate. These attacks seem just as calculated: they are gathering data. Probing our defenses. Analyzing where their remaining resources may be best used...”

As a tactical response, various organizations will be sending strike teams to designated counterstrike systems around the Titan with the least systems under Thargoid control. Where possible, these teams plan to reactivate a single port within each system to provide a forward operating base for anti-xeno operations.

Pilots are being encouraged to take up arms and participate in the defense of these forward ports.

Thargoid war update:

  • It’s INDRA-Pendence Day! Let Torpedoes Ring!

Update 10 Launched https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/update-10-odyssey-and-horizons.597956/#post-9713547

Optimizations

Hostile ships, now actually show as hostile

Thermal Conduit fix (hopefully) - 4th time’s the charm

Limpets didn’t work but were fixed quick, server-side.

SRVs can’t scoop more than once (EDO)

Big Stuff: BGS changes

  • The Pirate Attack faction state will now:
    • Cause factions to lose influence to criminal factions present in that starsystem (approximate 1 percent per tick transferred from PA faction to local anarchy - unknown what happens with more than one local anarchy)
    • Criminal factions will no longer experience active security states and their Security Points will lock at 0 (Boon for anarchies)
  • The Black Market station service will now activate when the controlling faction has an active Civil Unrest state (interesting…)
  • Faction consequences from selling commodities are now based on satisfying available demand at the Commodity Market (unknown how this changes prior market based BGS impacts)

You can now support a faction by buying commodities from it, based upon satisfying available supply at its Commodity Market (unknown impact)

  • Questions to be answered:
    • Does profit have an effect still
    • What is impact of supply/demand (outside of profit/cost)
    • Does tonnage sold have an impact outside of demand relationship (it used to)
    • What is effort required for maximum trade impact in uncontested system (previously around 40M net profit)
    • Does negative still work when there is no demand
    • Does negative still work when there is a demand

Previous CG reward FSDs are here, but experimentals don’t work yet.

Discussion:

I’d love some community testing and feedback

I’ve found that flying to settlements is the place where performance is the worst of anywhere in the game.  But if I murder all the NPCs and then take off performance is dramatically better. When I first booted up after the update I got the bug where all the NPC vendors were missing from a concourse; and performance was way better than normal.

This follows with previous observations that NPC AI can stack up within an instance causing big performance hits on EDH/EDO in space and at settlements/concourses.

In these cases I (and others) observe that the CPU/GPU is not even close to being fully utilized.

My working theory is that the game engine is slowing down how quickly it sends frames to the processors to draw, not the processors hitting their power limit.  This might only be apparent on very fast hardware.

Please capture screen shots of your performance meter before and after murdering everyone at a settlement and share them in our hardware channel!

Apparently this episode didn't publish correctly on all platforms. I'm trying to refresh it.

Heads up! Around 35 minutes in there is some dropped sections: these sections are missing from the source recording so just a discord failure.  Sorry! Enjoy the show.
