Radicoida Unica isn't the only "interesting" exobiology in HIP 87621, and I think I've figured out what the October Consortium is really up to. Jurassic World Evolution crossover confirmed!

I'm pretty sure that the current CG is a long-game revenge plan by whoever at FDev thought up the "Reduced Tool Battery Consumption" suit mod.
"Useless mod, eh? Let's see how long you can scan trees on a fire planet!" **INSERT EVIL LAUGH** 😂

Space photographer Andrew James McCarthy @ajamesmccarthy.bsky.social has captured many epic images of celestial bodies, but this may be his greatest: a perfectly timed photo of a skydiving friend with the sun behind him (shot w/ equipment revealing great solar detail).
Behold "The Fall of Icarus."

Still considering getting a wireframe Cobra at some point.

THANK YOU, FDEV!!
Was it wrong to do in the first place? Yes. But you listened to the players and corrected course immediately, and I think you deserve credit for that.
Let's not have to have this conversation again, okay? 😉
