I was expecting an appearance update in quarters but nope. Hope we don’t have to wait till 50%
Thanks for leaving some cake for us over here. We are eating the crumbs.

Happy Cake Day Todd.
I was kind of hoping that the Prismatic Core was going to ‘appear’ in stages throughout the Expedition, with maybe scaffolding or cranes coming & going for added aesthetic fun.
Bit of an opportunity missed IMO.

20% was core completion phase 1/5 so 40% will definitely be the next one.
As for waht the under construction appearances will look like, I don’t think we’ll get any animated cranes.
But the patch notes page for Swarm update does show us there will be a scaffolding stage that isn’t present in the final build versions also shown on the swarm update page.
Hopefully when it hits 40% proper (its now on 39.9% according to galacticAtlas website) we get our scaffolding stage 
It’s 1am now, so I am going in to do my next batch of dailies. I’ll get a proper percentage reading once I’m in from the in-games .00% readings.
Edit:
Galactic Atlas also rounds up, it should be noted.
Current percentage is actually 39.82% going off in-game values.
Royal - 13.20%
Sage - 13.09%
Weaver - 13.53%
Going to go do my missions now, I don’t think I’ll see 40% until the next batch of coutnermeasures maybe? Unless the numbers roll in and traveller fragments are all hands on deck for the next hour before I call it a night

Totally should be Polo on a ladder with a big hammer

But if Polo steps away from his Nip Nip stash someone might steal it. Polo can never step away, no friend , Polo musn’t.
Percentages after I did my final batch of countermeasures for the day…
13.23%
13.12%
13.57%
39.92%
We could actually hit 40% at those rates 
Went up 0.10% in the last 20 minutes, so could cross the actual 40% in another 20
edit:
39.96% now
edit:
39.99

Oh. I know an animation wouldn’t happen but I was kind of hoping for a series of various ‘construction site’ statics as the scaffolding & bits altered over progressive stages.
@sheralmyst Polo on a ladder is now on my wishlist. Thanks for that.

You can steal whatever you want from me at this stage, we’ve known each other long enough we’re practically family. Just make sure you put my stuff back when you’re done with it. And don’t mess it up!

I also stayed up in the hope it would reach 40% for the 1 am mission refresh, but had to wait until my pre-work bit this morning to see it.

I see that if you joined from another save, there’s a hint saying you can go back at any time. I’ve never considered it before as the few times I’ve started one from my main save, there’s never been any point as they’re relatively short. Has anyone flipped back an forth between an expedition and the base save? Is it pretty seamless?

Very seamless

It’s exactly the same as when you end the expedition. There’s a transition, and you’re back in the anomaly with your original ship and equipment. You can go back to the expedition any time you like.

Thanks. I might nip home then, I had some freighter missions going when I started it. I expect the crew are waiting for me to debrief, so they can go on shore leave.
Edit, especially as I’m away from home for a day or so, from tonight.

I think maybe some textures have been redone, the outside of the anomaly looked more detailed somehow, but I couldn’t actually see what it was specifically. I did wonder if it was just me though, a day or so before the corvette update arrived I thought the anomaly looked a bit more ‘open’ as I entered it too, but again couldn’t see anything specific that was changed, it just felt roomier.

Maybe Hello Games is testing the possibility of letting players access old expeditions and switch back to their main save. Hmm.

Not sure if a bug but, for the current batch of countermeasures I can only pick two…
One is highlighted as if I already finished it or selected it, however it doesn’t show the usual info-pane for time remaining until next mission, when hovering over it as if done, or the info-pane to cancel it if already selected…
Are they reducing our options for this batch, or am I dealing with a bug? Let me know if it’s the same for you guys.
For me, it’s the mission that gives you the +2 points to all factions reward.
I was going to say maybe a texture streaming error, but I can see this too… Maybe this will also become a colour when all is said and done. I kinda want sage to win now, these would look nice in green.

Can confirm, same thing in the missions on experimental. It is the one that credits everyone. It is highlighted in a pinkish color. Like this is a deliberate thing. Perhaps they are pushing the competition aspect.
And no clocks on the other 2 missions.
Correction: the clock is there. But I swear it wasn’t until I started the 2 missions available
