OK I deleted the first thread.
I don't want anyone getting in trouble for discussing content that does not have in-game visibility.
To recap, a new dataset got pushed to IOS earlier this afternoon.
It is likely but not guaranteed we are getting closer to new events, possibly including faction / syndicate / guild events.
So do what you can to prepare -- true up your defense, pursue upgrades, etc.
Get in a faction if you want to.
But whatever you do, don't get banned for violating forum guidelines regarding unreleased content.
PS Pawn, you inbox is full.
Good luck with everything, everyone, that is all.
