Discovery Scanner - 10/10/2022
Greetings Commanders.
Week two of the ‘Spooky Season’ has begun and the Ghoul-axy is really starting to get in the mood for it now.
Welcoming you into another Monday with this week’s Discovery Scanner.
Big shout out to Commander Eagle131 over on Twitter, for the much loved title image as part of the post today, with a big, extended o7 to all involved in this Pumpkin pile in as part of The Buur Pit's #PitTrip3.
We loved the postcards from your time together last weekend, over on social.
General News
A couple of posts to recap from last week which will still stand moving into this one:
- Known issues around Combat Bonds not counting whilst in a Multicrew session: There’s no new update on the resolve of this issue currently, however we wanted to make Commanders aware that the team are aware.
- For the official post on this one, head on over to the official Elite https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/known-issue-with-combat-bond-rewards-in-a-multicrew-session.609230/.
- Galnet News Roundup Postponed: It seemed only right that with our Dark Lord Paul away for a majority of the month that we put a hold on the weekly Galnet News Roundup posts until he returns. Thanks for your patience!

Community Goals
Operation Tyndareus Reacts To Thargoid Fleet | 2 Days To Go
System: Andecavi
Commodity: Combat Bonds
The Alliance has deployed a reactionary task force to defend the Andecavi system from the Thargoids. An anti-xeno taskforce, titled Operation Tyndareus, was recently prepared by the Alliance Defence Force in conjunction with Sirius Corporation.
Progress on this goal is looking pretty solid so far as Commanders sit at a strong 62.73% completion total with two days remaining.
For more on this current, open Community Goal, head to the official goal page.
Good luck!
