What's under the veil?

Under the weil we can find few cargo boxes next to prison door simbolicaly marking place where mission and reward is taken and where pirates get keept in prison for month or two when trying to get mission or reward for pirated cargo boxes?

 

So anyone want to crack this new message?

Spoiler: Edit Decoded

Sergeant Enzo: Your Status?
Pilot Yeager: Arrived at specified coords. Rocket engines stable.
Sergeant Enzo: Ready for Bozeman test?
Pilot Yeager: Launch for test run of !%/"(iukjk%€#!... in 02:52:34:986?

 

Looks like the YouTube comments have already done the translation job for us.

 

Yeah, for those who don't want to go to YT:

Kinda surprised that MA is doing something like the Smuggler video: actually trying to incorporate some sort of storyline to space. Instead of just announcements, that's a nice change.
Details like character names and a new organization ('Intercolonial Transport Authority (ITA)', the 'new' official authority?), I don't think we've seen that before for space?

I've always liked how the Ark backstory is written, and how it's ongoing and connected to everything else.
Hopefully MA gets/has (a) good writer(s) too, so this storyline will add more substance to space, and make it more interesting in and of itself.


Btw, the test run should be finished already by now?


Edit: Didn't see it was added to previous post while writing, seems I write too slowly

 

Server has been down for restart some time now without the usual news posts, if this is the update they are sure being sneaky about this one.

 

And to think Snape was asking us nicley to cut the binary out I like the use of you tube we just need some arkadian to make it as big as stompy kat on minecraft and we might be laughing

I so hope Smuggler Ned Gives us a you tube message over christmas as well ;P

Fingers crossed this gets unvailed in the upcomming VU will make it interesting over the christmas period

 

And Now For the Second Part

 

Looks like a false alarm on the update this time, just the worlds longest restart.

 

If you keep asking, I'm sure Ned will give you his "tube"!

 

Well, yeah, but still we could have hope

 

What I would like to know is why MA is allowing themselves to release another spacecraft before allowing a PP to design one for release. To me this seems rather unfair, to the pp's and to the players that want more "colony" themed spacecraft to sport their chosen planet.

Not trying to say pp's haven't asked for the right to produce a spacecraft, we've seen spoilers or designs you can find on cyrene and arkadia.

 

With Space being MA's domain: will we realistically ever see any PP spacecrafts released at all?
I think it would be surprising. Wonderful, but surprising.
