I am still looking forward to playing with each and every one of you. This isn't a goodby to friendship, just a relinquishing of my official duties.

If you see me online, drop by and let's do something!

I will be keeping my New Tranquility base on Iraksh in GoG-83 because it is so awesome and is the best base I've ever built.

Ahoy John,

I am sorry to inform you that resignation from office is not mentioned anywhere in the basic policy documents of the GoGinized Space constitution. It is said that there have been cases where the incumbent ambassador has tried to secretly slip his supreme official appointment certificate into the jacket pocket of a passing merchant in order to get rid of the office - but it remains highly controversial whether this procedure can be officially recognized.

Therefore it is not possible to resign from this office. You will have to remain our ambassador for life... *shrug*

The good news on the other side: It is nowhere specified what an ambassador should do, when and how often. So it's enough if you greet our neighbors once every 1 to 100 years, for example. And if you don't do anything this will be enough, too. We trust in you and your strategies completely.

We thank you very much for all your fun efforts so far and are looking forward to further good cooperation! ;-P

Hi John, this is the problem of the last months: If you are playing, I'm at work - no chance to play.

But in some weeks, after the easter weekend, I have one week holiday, so I'll try to meet you there :)

You can build some new bases, if you want, I'll come to visit it and perhaps. I'll build a base close to you too.

What do you think about an new, modern, "GOG-welcome-center" at a very pretty planet? (please try to find a planet without storms.. I hate storms ;) This interuppts always the relaxed bulding feeling..

I'm looking forward for new NMS-updates this year too (the last sentinal update, was not really for my taste - I love more playing peacefully) .

:)

I like the idea of a new welcome center, but who wants to build it?

You can do it, if you want :) Or I'll do it, but I only have time on my vacation starting April 19th ...

Tell you what, Nob.

You find the planet, and then tell me a little about what you have in mind / your ideas.

Then I can go to work along those lines.

(quote heavily edited for comic effect)

LOL!

The problem is that no one wants to play together any more. GoG Space only lasted a few months right after Beyond dropped in 2019. By March of 2020 nobody was playing together anymore. I've tried to get us "originals" to get together, but Nob is the only one who will play. We used to have groups of 10 all together doing stuff, dropping in on each others' games, and generally having a blast.

But then the Covid times came, I guess. *sigh*

I'll be around.

Ok, that's agreat idea! I'll look about at Saturday oder Sunday morning. If I find a pretty planet (I think it's good if we take an undiscovered world on the edge of the GOG sphere as a "gateway" to the GOG universe), I'll build a first step of the "welcome base area" - - we need much landing pads! :D

My visio is, to build a town (so several players can settle down there with own bases) with a central welcome building (here are you the specialist :D ) , but also some buildings for spaceship maintenance, currency exchange, restaurant and hotels.(it reminds me a bit of our common "long roads" planet) - we can take it up again, only in a more modern way and design everything under the theme "Welcome Center". New ideas and suggestions are very welcome!

So I think, we have really fun again, to create new bases and buildings. We now have a lot more components than before and can also enlarge or reduce!

When everything gets bigger in a few weeks (don't stress about it!), we can also do some advertising with it on NMS forums (e.g. reddit) to attract new players. Maybe future updates will help...

It is important that playing is really fun again, I think many people have lost a piece of it, that's why there has been so little going on...

Hey John, Thanks for all your efforts over the years. You've done a great job!

I logged in today and uploaded my base on Gogus Prime again (GOG-87 system). Also fixed a power issue and beat my previous time on the race. :)

See ya out there!

John and I found a very pretty planet in the GOG-civilized-space, we build there our new "Welcome-Center" .

It's close to an archive building, you can take a look at my first base:

(John's base is in opposite of the archive) I'll do more details in the next days...

You a very welcome to settle down there oder in the same system! Come and have fun :)

YES! Come to the new planet and let's build bases around the Colossal Archive.

Glyphs are in Nob's screenshot.

I'll post some pix of my base when I get a little more done.

Come on over!

Hi, guys! Miss you :)

Thing is, with the latest update, I can't use portals anymore (I can load those hieroglyphs with stuff, but can't select them afterwards).

All these half-baked updates, they really, really ... ouf, ok, let's say, they cause some disruption, and, apparently, especially so for our community. Before Beyond, those were the times! I guess, we have to weather it out.

Looking forward to meet you guys :)

Jen;

There is a bug in the game when charging the glyphs. Sometimes you can put in the right amount of a substance, but it won't register in-game properly. So after charging, go back and look at each glyph and make sure they are fully charged.

For example, it takes 20 di-hydrogen to charge a glyph. I can grab 20 and put it in, but it may only register as 18 or 19. Thus I have to go back and double-check everything.

If that doesn't fix it, please use Zendesk to tell HG about it.

PS When are you online? I can give you a ride to the system. I can join people's games now!

ATTENTION!

You're doing great, even with limited time.
My main life now prevents me from starting NMS more than occasionally every few months. But if I find some hours in addition to the expeditions, I will particiapte in new GogSpace settlements

Thanks!

Come on over to the Welcome Center and build a base close to the Archive we found.
