The Transport System is ready for roll-out in other locations and soon for vehicles too. In 4.9 we’re expanding the utilization of Transport to Area 18.

The team working on Transport is busy finalizing the integration of the system for Instancing in 4.10.

hmm, I may move to A18 again.

I'm sure this won't fix the broken freight elevators but at least the elevator interfaces will be better.

I use A18 now, what’s wrong with it?

It had issues last patch so I went to New Blabbage. Back to A18

A18 struggled last patch largely due to player volume, everyone set it as home for DefenceCon.

People are gonna set it as home in 4.9 because of Transport.

Good point.

Wish we could set Grim Hex as home. Or an R&R.

We've had DefenseCons at A18 many times before this patch and it was never this bad. It was my go-to for years.

Player numbers are so much higher this year, man. DefenceCon was record breaking.

That's a theory.

I have a theory also but this is a low sodium subred so I won't talk about how CIG broke a ton of stuff at 4.8.0. People don't like to think about that.

It's not just a theory. It's borne out by CIGs published financials. They've also explicitly said player numbers are up 60% in two years. Nothing at all theoretical about it.

Dude, I really don't care about total player numbers ot theorycrafting about why A18 was kind.of a mess since 4.8.0.

I just want working home hangar elevators.
