Greetings, pilots!
It has been a while since the last Weekly Wrap-Up and this one will make up for the missed wrap up of last week.
I has been a couple weeks of crypto "hell" for those that were / are blocked from access to their resources due to exchanges halting HIVE transactions. More details are stated in the news section.
Doing this article has made me realize how passionate some are about Exode. It takes an effort and time to create these postings. It also takes a bit of creativity to put down something other players will want to hear about, every week.
π° News
And in the news:
Oct 14 2022
Here is the reveal of the Beta pack pre-release offering. As well some details of the Achean Gang contract. Which I must say is going to add some interesting twists to game play and card use.

This publication gives more details about the Beta contracts and the use of Alpha cards to enhance them!! This is exciting because there are many Alpha cards and this gives yet another way to burn them besides upgrades.

As well, a posting showing how much talent there is in the Exode community. I must say, I wish I did not have to work.

And this great artwork. I wonder what is going on here?

In the discord development-log channel Elindos dropped some details about the up and coming releases of Alpha development. Discord quote
Evacuation Missions
This feature will give more fun and utility to your cards while going further and deeper in theme and lore of 2325!
See a server mission list,
Check missions with special slots for ships and characters with specific traits,
Place the cards if you have them (the ones not locked to current games),
Choose an available strategy for this slot,
Estimate your success in this mission,
Then enjoy mission resolution and leaderboards!
First Evacuation Missions will be with experience and flavor rewards, but currency rewards will happen too later.
Wow, sounds like a mini game in the game. Can hardly wait to see it in action. Other topics detailed on discord include:
Character and Ship Leveling
Contract Leveling and Customization
*Promo Cards * π
Other than that, Elindos is trying to ensure that, everyone that has been granted pre-release purchases, has a chance to do it. Normally there would be no issues with the time frames given but huge delays have been seen by many in the community with HIVE transfers being halted.
π Giveaway
This week, 3 lucky pilots will have the chance to win x1 WHC Unit
This IMO is an essential part of new colony life. From what is indicated this unit will keep your crew alive if what it provides is lacking on your planet. I am particularly interested in seeing the Energy generation. I do now know of many colony installations that do NOT require energy. A good use of a ship slot I think.

As far as the new game features are concerned, I am most excited to for the next phase to start. I am looking very much looking forward to being able to work the research teams and beginning on the road to where my evacuees can become long term survivors.
Looking beyond that, the I am intrigued by the idea of the Achean gangs and can't wait to see how game play surrounding them works out.
Thanks always for the updates and giveaways. Please count me in for the latter.
Good luck, all. Here, and in 2325!
Evac was fun, race against time to get out with as much stuff as you can carry, without any losses hopefully.
Scan i found was a bit boring, but may become more challenging and exciting later, when you are actively being chased and have multiple options to fly to.
Landing for me always fails. Maybe my characters are just to weak to do it properly or im missing something.
But what i find most interesting so far, will be building the colony and finding ways to survive and prosper on a new planet. I've alway enjoyed creating a town and advancing through tech trees, and colony will do both of these and more. Looking forward to the further development of this aspect of the game and pushing the boundaries of what i can do in it.
Thank you for the update, and yes I agree, it takes a bit of effort to get these articles in order! π
I am very interested in being able to get back with the colonization loop in tact. Of the beta content discussed it seems very interesting to discover all of the investigation and upgrade mechanics that have been discussed!
