Can the calendar be updated more consistently (and further out) than every month?

Back in 6.0, when you wanted to see what would be happening in 8 weeks, you could. The conquest calculator sheet was online, and it had all the conquest events for months into the future listed with the objectives. The main effect of that was making it easier to plan conquest, but the secondary effect was that because the list was datamine-able (or however they figured it out), anyone could figure out exactly when the next BBA event, or swoop gang event, or whatever would occur. Then, at some point in 2021, the calculator stopped updating. Whether this was because the datamine was patched, or the game simply didn't store a list, or because the person who was running it stopped playing, it doesn't matter. Now, the only way to figure out what's going on is to look at the calendar and hope it isn't, say, march 25th and the calendar tells you that there are 2 seasons and a gree event going on (it doesn't even tell you that next week is total galactic war, something that you can find IN THE CONQUEST WINDOW). You were looking for information on the next events and all you got was what was going on this week. Why is there a calendar if it's just going to be a re-formatting of the same woefully insufficient news post that gives you maybe 3 items and a copy-paste description for each that we've been getting for YEARS. Why can't it automatically update? Why is there no source of anticipation other than at the beginning of each month through the news post, and through a half-hidden "next week" box in the conquest window? If you want to go the live service route (and given the low-effort, fetch quest-ridden seasonal storylines you're drip-feeding us in obnoxious FOMO fashion, that's pretty clearly the direction this game is taking), then give us information on what's going on. Keep us waiting for not just the next event (because inevitably, some people will have that event already grinded out), but the event after that, and after that, and a month into the future. Just make a big list, build it out a year into the future, stick it into the calendar and hardcode it into the game, and ignore it for 9 months. Keep us waiting for something other than the GS objectives (oh wait, they're ALSO drip-fed for no good reason).

TL;DR: Put things on the calendar, PLEASE. It's worthless right now.
