Confront a new threat to the universe in update 6.4, The Swarm. The Traveller soul is fragmented, and something terrible hangs in the sky. Battle swarms of elite agile ships, face off against the huge, formidable Hive of Glass, and strategise with other players to construct the technology to defeat it.

The Swarm Expedition

Join other Travellers in a time-limited campaign to defend against a new menace. Uncover the mystery of the swarm, and work together with the whole community to prevent its spread and banish it from this reality.

The constant pirates that attacked everytime i started jumping into new systems is way i stopped playing. I don't want more enemies. I want a cohesive story.

    What you don't like the story?

    "You observe the anomaly. It wiggles in the past, a world where blue is green. Purple has no meaning. The cries of a salamander echo through space. Reset the anomaly?"

    Truly compelling stuff I say.

    What you don’t like the story?

    Dunno about her, but I dislike how just about everything is 100% tell, don't show. The fact that you get small advances by simply visiting random systems that happen to have an Atlas around breaks immersion for me.

    Truly compelling stuff I say.

    Might be, but the delivery is so flat it's indistinguishable from a tumblr poet posting while high.

    This game lost me a few upsates ago. The creatable ships was fun though. Untill it wasn't. This update just sounds like more bullet sponges to deal with when i dont want to.

    Plus, expeditions suck ass.

    As someone who has almost 600 hours on their new save (my old save from day 1 was corrupted and I fubared the restore) expeditions are my favorite part of the game.

    I get they can be frustrating. But I really enjoy them, and usually do them multiple times.
