Squad Update:
It's been one week since anyone said on this weekly podcast that the BGS is broken.
The squad update has been delayed to sometime in late August. Which happens to match the Frontier delay of the SquadVanDronGuards update.
But check our bgs-standing-orders discord channel just in case something interesting pops up
