Yes, even I do get to do one of those. You want to see little bits of things that are not going to happen? You clicked the right link! Or not! Who knows? Are you angry already? I am going to waste. Your. Time! And that harder than doing your taxes could ever do! Grab a a cup of water, heat up your chicken fingers and let's delve into what I call...
Antonio's Greatest Works
Little did you guys know, when Antonio decided to join the dev team (again), he would frequently contact me on Discord to ask questions about system development. From basic things like "Sombs, how do I make a maze?" to "Sombs, could you please just answer my question and not send me cat gifs?" or "Sombs, wtf?". Under my tutelage, Antonio turned from a PvP whore into an explorer, from an explorer into a system developer, and from a system developer into a Swanson. Following Discovery's player mentality of "What is restraint?", which coincidentally is also the mentality of submissive twinks looking at @Jayce, we let go of all boundaries of sanity and immersion for the sake of creating HIGH. QUALITY. SYSTEMS!
High Quality Systems
Taking inspiration from various themes, Antonio created various new systems that players will be not able to explore in the next patch. The quality of these systems speaks pretty much for itself, but I figured that flavor text is kind of required to make this post seem a bit more high effort than your average unfunny flood post presented by bored clique person 1-6.
Code:
/s Uncharted Bretonia
Type this in Singleplayer to enter a system based on a famous video that combined two things that people love: Bananas and Freelancer.
Given how bananas the past years have been for Bretonia, it was obvious that the system would become Uncharted Bretonia. Everything matches: The red, the bananas, the cheese.
- Nobody remembers any context about this.
Are you already excited!? Cool, me neither, so let's continue!
Elden Ring? Elden Cube!
One of the most important things to do in the gaming industry is to copy everything you can from things that work well. Ever played Call of Duty? Battlefield? Overwatch? Hentai vs. Furries? (It's on Steam, it is real.) They all follow the same kind of patterns. So, of course, @Reeves had the idea that, since Elden Ring was a major success of the gaming industry, we copy from it, change it just enough to still be original and implement it into Discovery!
- Bad copy-paste.
- Good copy-paste.
Story has already taken this as an invitation to answer the question "What did make the Daam K'vosh disappear?" - Will you find out about it? Probably not. Story never unfolds in Connecticut!
Targetting new audiences
Discovery made three huge mistakes in the past few years:
1. We never got the Very Light Fighter. Sad!
2. Furries got banned.
3. No NFTs!?
Just think about it! Furries are on the rise everywhere on the world. The hype was never this big! You probably don't like the idea, but it is a fact that King could just as well have been a furry! Discovery could have BOOMED, and acknowledging that, @Haste agreed that it is better late than never.
As a result, the first thing @Petitioner contributed as system devil trainee was to make subtle changes to the game's roleplay environment.
- Inspiration
- Final product
All in all, the system adjustments will make you cry butterfly tears! Taking inspiration of the direction Star Trek Picard Season 2 provided, you will be blown away by what is about to come. One of our valued community members summed it up perfectly, so I am just going to quote them here:
Quote:[...] The patch adds a lot of new content and we still have plenty of systems remaining. The team put a lot of thought into what had to be pruned and what could stay and in the end after some intense debate beloved systems like Omicron Alpha finally made it off the chopping block (don't ask what happened to Gamma though, haha! Spoilers ?) Anyway, we still have over 40 systems remaining. That's plenty for anyone!
Sit tight and wait for the update, gamers. I promise it'll be worth it!
Is this all just a joke?
Of course you can't expect me to bring you all these news with a straight face. Looking at the reactions to most other dev diary threads, we want to try a different approach in presenting you the upcomming features. It is true. They will be implemented. @Haste himself clarified this much on the Auxo Discord.
Are you still confused? No worries, just wait for the patch! It will be awesome!
It's true, I have made subtle changes to the game environment as a systems dev trainee. I have also been PINKY PROMISED by Haste that Aux is getting a superbattleshipmegacarrier in the patch, too, so you know it's gonna be a good update just from that alone.
this is not an actual serious post despite the use of mod orange, i just wanted to post something in mod orange while actually having an orange name for once ):

The menace strikes again.
Maybe I should start playing again just for the furry unban. Thank you, Haste, I will finally live out my fantasies of high quality Plink RP. Much appreciated, pleasure doing business.
