The latest CG was good. I like the idea of free engineered stuff coz I hate engineering. Also creating tangible things in the game is a good idea.
Here's my theory for what will happen later:
Now that we've all worked together to build the Colonia Bridge, I don't think it'll be safe for long. Once it's completed, I predict that it'll come under heavy attack, with a future CG goal being to defend the fruits of our labour and save the station's we've worked hard to build.
Remember when those stations started falling from the sky, and FDev said that it was supposed to happen, but happened too soon? This could be what it was planned for. It would actually mean something to see MacDonald settlement crash into a planet or something, because I've spent so much time there. That or that whole saga was just a massive bug and they wouldn't admit it… I dunno.
Anyway, I think this is what's going to happen to our bridge. In the future, we're going to be called up to resupply and defend the station's we've worked hard to build. It would make sense, because it would actually mean something to all the cmdrs who have spent hours grinding for this to happen.
That's my theory anyway. If it doesn't happen, I'll be disappointed, because such a scenario would give me a real incentive to participate!
What do you guys think?
Edit: I think the Thargoids have an incentive to attack. The bridge, in theory, funnels more humans closer to their space. It's also potentially a pipeline for military supplies.
