Hello, Pilots!

June Giveaways:

I am going on vacation from June 12 - June 28, which means that 🍉 [MELN] Head Scientist @proto26 will write the June 13 (Post #41), June 20 (Post #42), and June 27 (Post #43) 🍉 [MELN] Weekly EXODE Wrap-Ups. You will be able to find them on his profile and in the 1up community page. I am going to keep this at the top of the next few posts so that people have fair warning.

📰News:

"Starting Discoveries"

As far as I can tell, it seems that each "Discovery" is the introduction to a sub-tech tree holding 9 technologies that you can research. There are a total of 7 tech trees, which means there are 63 total technologies. We will go through the ones that @elindos has laid out below.

Analyzing Ship Damage

This is the first option in the "Starships" tech tree. Once you grab this, you will unlock the quest "Ship Repair" and unlock "Recolonization". It will also allow your engineers to begin repairing your ship.

Analyzing This Planet

This is the first option in the "Planetology" tech tree. Once you research this, you will unlock the quest "Explore your Planet". It will also increase your knowledge.

Wildlife

Finally got our first look at some wildlife concept art. I remember this was highly requested, and I think it looks great! They are procedurally generated so I am curious as to how they will pull this off.

🎁Giveaway:

This week, 3 different people have a chance of winning:

1x Autoguided Ammo
This card is just like Defensive Ammo, except it gives 1 less magazine and buffs your character's accuracy by 8. This is my personal favorite for low-accuracy guns, as your caliber doesn't matter, shot placement does.

🎉Previous Winners:

Congratulations @blitzzzz, @jdike, and @cartel-exode. You have been sent SMOOTY All-In-One # 01ee3c9a4296bb8e55313357105ca895, # b2a8e657562a5ee6cd478330e7088351, and # ba5cd2a6b6ac74631def73394ba04866 respectively.

My favorite comment from last week came from @cartel-exode:

"I have "space puppies" on my planet, @tinyputerboy! The animal I speak of is the Tobiama, one I've mentioned before. It is a medium sized creature about the size of an earthly dog. It comes in brown and also with pink stripes. Unfortunately, not much is known about its behavior since we still have yet to study this creature and we were never ambushed by it during expeditions. I will not be participating in the contest since I am merely a refurbished kilbot, reprogramed by [MELN] scientists. So, you see, it wouldn't be fair."

You have been sent EXPLANATOR # a63fb26742367fa2bd4fd4cf747096b3 to aid in your killing.
