🍉 [MELN] Weekly EXODE Wrap-Up #28
Hello, Pilots!
It seems like the main art people want to see are related to the different wildlife and planets. I definitely agree! Will be sure to share it with all of you if I manage to get my hands on any.
A lot of new things have been added this week, including combat reports!
If you'd like an in-depth first hand experience of a battle, check out @proto26's latest 🍉 [MELN] Report.
📰News:
Many more people have been granted tester access, if you're interested, be sure to say so in the Discord!
The first iteration of combat reports have been added. Characters cannot yet use the guns they brought with them, but they also cannot die. This phase of combat is mainly to test things out and see how it works. In the above screenshot, you can see that my character 'Admin Adam' was almost beaten to death by a group of aliens, but because of the "Leave 1 HP" rule of testing right now, he lives to die another day.
There have been a few updates to the Game Inspector:
characters under 50% health now display their health in red
● new feature: Wounded can't go. Characters under 50% health will soon automatically cancel any action they are part of.
● new feature: Health recovery. Character recover 1 to 6 health every day (when actions delivery is refreshed)
● new feature: Missions Log. Characters now display a quick summary of their wounds and number of combat actions.
● INTEL: now displays a "Select Resource" selector.
● INTEL: new feature with the Intel Revelation Map which displays, for a given resource (vegetation/ore/mineral) which information has been revealed.
● The debriefing room can be used again.
● "Investigate Resource" actions can now be executed
● "Investigate Wildlife" actions can now be executed again
● There are some chances for combat, you will receive a combat summary in that caseA bunch of miscellaneous bugfixes that prevent issues some people reported in the Discord server.
As Away Teams (AW) step 1 reaches it's end this week, @elindos has decided to issue some "Compensation Tickets" to testers due to some actions disappearing from the queue and costing a day. These tickets will allow you to immediately complete an action, and 5 will be issued to all testers:
"● We know you may have a specific situation! So we have come with an idea about how to use our compensation tickets, which are aimed for that. but we prefer to handle this globally, so that we can keep our momentum. We have plenty of gameplay to implement the coming week!
● We have deployed 5 compensation tickets to all captains participating to Step 1, and +2 more to testers who participated in close tests and had other actions used.
● Compensation now work as follows:
● they are displayed in Game Inspector.
● when you claim an action, it will see if you have waited for enough time.
● If you do, an action is claimed without using a compensation ticket. If you don't, it will use a compensation ticket, and allow you to claim that action. The message about it should be clear enough. (see below!)
● This means that for now, it allows for an almost immediate resolution for investigation reports (since you can then head to the debriefing room to execute it) but not for other actions which will have to wait a little for the next delivery; but are almost immediate as you can pile all of them up before it happens.
● Before using all your compensation tickets, we advise to wait for our addition of the "MEDICAL" action during the next week, or have more information available in other actions and gameplay." -@elindosYou can now cancel actions from the Game Inspector.
🎁Giveaway:
To celebrate all of the good news this week, you have a chance of winning:
1x Syndicate Geisha (No wiki link since it is so new)
This is the newest card added to the Syndicate contracts, we have yet to get a feel for her utility. She seems like she will be very powerful on the Colony. She has Charisma, Conversation, Diplomacy, Intimidation, Stealth, and Romantic Ties. Essentially the perfect diplomat, I could see her fitting well into an Elected Leader or Cruise Ship Captain deck. She has Geisha Implants, no idea what these do at the moment, but she can make 'Pink Lotus' each week. No idea what this is either. Will have to come back to her once Colonization is released.

The people doing V2K with remote neural monitoring want me to believe this lady @battleaxe is an operator. She is involved deeply with her group and @fyrstikken . Her discord is Battleaxe#1003. I cant prove she is the one directly doing the V2K and RNM. Doing it requires more than one person at the least. It cant be done alone. She cant prove she is not one of the ones doing it. I was drugged in my home covertly, it ended badly. They have tried to kill me and are still trying to kill me. I bet nobody does anything at all. Ask @battleaxe to prove it. I bet she wont. They want me to believe the V2K and RNM in me is being broadcast from her location. And what the fuck is "HOMELAND SECURITY" doing about this shit? I think stumbling over their own dicks maybe? Just like they did and are doing with the Havana Syndrome.
They are reckless and should have shown the proper media what they had before taking me hostage for 5 years.
What would you say while having a gun pointed at your head from an undisclosed location? Have people find it? My hands are tied while they play like children with a gun to my head. Its a terrorist act on American soil while some yawn and say its not real or Im a mental case. Many know its real. This is an ignored detrimental to humanity domestic threat. Ask informed soldiers in the American military what their oath is and tell them about the day you asked me why. Nobody has I guess. Maybe someone told ill informed soldiers they cant protect America from military leaders in control with ill intent. How do we protect locked up soldiers from telling the truth? https://ecency.com/fyrstikken/@fairandbalanced/i-am-the-only-motherfucker-on-the-internet-pointing-to-a-direct-source-for-voice-to-skull-electronic-terrorism
Thanks for your giveaway @birdbeaksd! It's nice to see continuous blog activities about EXODE :D
One thing I am hoping to see soon are the characterictics of our passengers, I have some "interesting" characters there :p (including an Elite Unstable Genius)
The Pink Lotus is medicine, captain! 💊
I don't know whether to make an entirely new deck or an improved version of the scientific build with perhaps a little bit of criminals for the next step. Oh, I think I'm getting ahead of myself. I might be talking about the next next step.

Thank you for the prize last week!!
Good summery of the weeks activities. I am unsure about the compensation tickets, some how I used up 2 before the verification button was implemented? Been careful to not over schedule.
For step 2, I would like to see completion of the "checkout that item" missions results sequence. I have yet to get to the point where I can see bio-fragments. Might be my crew skills are low.
I would like to see the introduction of healing and combat systems. If you have a medic you should be able to use them. Healing and Combat are IMO basic game elements. They also have a big scope implementation and game play.
Cooking would also be nice to introduce, assign a skill level and have someone do that chore. Being able to discover what is eatable and how it can be prepared to be eaten would add some nice personality to the game play. Where are our mission food packs coming from?
Also, I would like to see some steps towards setting up camp. We can deploy prefabs but it would be nice to be able turn them on. There is a time where a mission is active and 2 of the crew are away. Everyone is waiting on that, or are they doing other little cores like setting up the camp/colony? These kinds of tasks should be able to run in parallel with an away team mission, keeping everyone busy and active.
Tried to not ask for too much :) I have no idea the duration of a "step" in this development.
Best
Sckoarn
I'd like to see more on gathering in the next step of away teams.
Thank you for the updates and the giveaway!

hmmm... really don't know what I further want for away teams. Perhaps implementing the use of equipment? -I guess I am looking much more forward to Colonization :D
As before thanks for your wrap-up! !PIZZA
Sounds like the game is progressing nicely, I would love to see what has been built so far as I have only been able to play Evac. Looking forward to seeing the videos by the dev team. For Scientific away teams I look forward to seeing the kind of research progress they can make and some sort of map to lead in prioritization of missions.
!hivebits
Hivebits blends Hive's blockchain and Bitcoin's ethos. Your effort = your reward. Mine HBIT simply with ! hivebits (no space) or ! HBIT (no space), 1-per-day. Success! You mined .9 HBIT and the user you replied to received .1 HBIT on your behalf. You can receive 100% of the HBIT by replying to one of your own posts or comments. Or, support Hivebits at the official HBIT mine | your wallet | market | tools | connect | <><
Confirmation replies are currently on, but they'll go off when Resource Credits (RCs) get low. Your hivebits command will still go through and you'll get your HBIT.
I would like to see some screenshots, or maybe a gameplay from the Away Teams so that when I have access to them I have an idea of what to do.
What got me excited about this game was the gameplay video of the EVAC, so I think it would be a great way to keep the excitment up for us who aren´t participating as testers.
The gameplay in the next step xD
I would like to see more combat!

It will take awhile to work through all of my current vegatation, ores and minerals. Probably current health of the characters.
