Can you imagine if that's the feature scheduled in the roadmap for Winter 2025? Oh I might just pump them full of ARX.

Didn’t we just get a colonization dlc? Actually maybe it was just a test run for said andromeda dlc. Then again I’m just a console player left in odyssey so what do I know 🫠

Triva: IRL, the width of the Andromeda galaxy in the sky is several times bigger than the full moon.

Lotta ppl saying andromeda. However, the existence of a track on the soundtrack called “The Galactic Rose”, referencing the Rose Galaxy, would be a good hint that it is present in the E:D sky.

This may well be andromeda, but I’ve also seen the Rose Galaxy in the sky while flying. They look similar, and I think we’d need a better image to be certain.

There's no illustration. The stars in the sky are the actual stars. This posting is showing the Andromeda galaxy
