Interesting…I don’t see the relationship to the snowflake. ---

I see the tie between Snowflake and the title “Fractal”, but I don’t see how that ties to an expedition titled Utopia at all. I still haven’t understood how the word “Endurance” tied into the frieghter update either so, maybe I’m just dense 🤷‍♂️ ---

Perhaps the snowflake in reference to the new ship. It looks surprisingly similar to the ESB snowspeeder, which also skimmed across the surface. ---

The snowflake is obviously representative of the updates title. Just why the update was called that I can’t tell. Even less after reading the patch notes. Just calling it “Utopia” would have seemed more appropriate. ---

So obviously this Expedition is testing the new opt for many bases by getting us to build on the same planets in one system. I have MP on but have encountered very few players. Very unusual for an expedition. I know they are out there. So many comms at the first waypoint then poof! Where is everyone? ---

It is installed but I think the problem resides in GOGgalaxy 2. That doesn’t work very well on wine. And valve won’t help there 😉 [Next page](https://forums.atlas-65.com/t/nms-fractal/7971.md?page=2)
