Is it just me or does those patch notes seem awfully light?

I think "New mysterious things" mysteriously got 'missed out'.

I wonder how much hidden stuff is in there. More Thargoid QuickTime events?

"Quicktime" implies some action is actually required by the player.
What we have seen so far are to be merely considered as cutscenes.

I am sure FDEV are packing Thargoid related stuff in this patch to build up to 2.4.

Grrrr... patching conveniently starts at 8:00 pm my local time.

According to FDEV, this patch is mostly "under the hood" type stuff, which is why the changelog seems light, and why they had a public beta for stress testing.

Oh well, guess The Lords of Midnight is going to have to be revived for the day. Now there was a game in its day that was as inventive as Elite, although a totally different pace and concept. But then this is getting off topic.

At least its an update concentrating on improving and fixing what's already in the game, unless there are any hidden Thargoid surprises.

Lords of Midnight was an awesome game. I did not own it, but played some long hours with a neighbor of mine. Good times.
