In this episode of Witchspace News for Elite Dangerous, Canonn Research launches “The Landscape Signal” initiative to investigate a faint signal near Sagittarius A*. The ongoing war with the Thargoids reveals their abduction of humans, prompting a community goal to develop Subsurface Extraction Missiles for rescuing captives from Thargoid ships.
In this episode of Witchspace News for Elite Dangerous, several updates and events are discussed. Canonn Research has launched an initiative called “The Landscape Signal” and is seeking willing commanders to help investigate the signal’s source. The signal is a faint sound coming from the vicinity of the galaxy’s center and is believed to originate from an area near Sagittarius A*. Canonn will search 20,000 star systems to look for anything unusual, with the goal of either finding something or demonstrating that there is nothing to find. The Landscape expedition is currently underway and open to all commanders.
As Halloween approaches, Frontier is hosting the Stellar Screamshots competition, where players can submit creepy-themed screenshots for a chance to win the Malevolent Ghast paintjob for the Asp Explorer. Additionally, Frontier has adjusted the livestream schedule, with the next livestream taking place on October 19th. It will be a Halloween Special Edition and will include a significant hardware giveaway.
The ongoing war with the Thargoids has entered its 11th month, with 481 systems already fallen to the Thargoid advance. A leak from Aegis reveals that the Thargoids have been abducting humans on an industrial scale, with the intent of using them for their invasion plans. A new scanner developed by Aegis can identify locations inside Thargoid motherships where human prisoners are being held. A community goal has been initiated to gather resources for the development of a technological solution called the Subsurface Extraction Missile to extract the prisoners from the Thargoid ships.
The article concludes by asking readers if they will join Canonn’s search for the landscape signal, participate in the Halloween Stellar Screamshots competition, and whether they think using explosive missiles is the best way to extract captives from the Thargoids. The community goal for the missile development runs until next Thursday, with various rewards and paint jobs available for participants.
