The disco scanner info about Twitch drops is well wrong

PARTNER TWITCH DROPS
Speaking of new drops, our Elite Partner Program creators will be offering exclusive paintjobs as Twitch Drops too, to start the year off in style.

These Blizzard Evergreen paintjobs will be available from today, Monday the 9th of January from around 11:30am GMT, until the 31st of January:

Python Blizzard Evergreen: Stream to be watched for 30 minutes.
Anaconda Blizzard Evergreen – Stream to be watched for a further 30 minutes (an hour in total).
Asp Explorer Blizzard Evergreen – Stream to be watched for a further hour (2 hours in total).


... but actually next drop doesn't start until you claim the previous one (so "in total" is wrong) so the Anaconda is further 1 hour (not 30 min) and the AspX is a further 1hr 30min (not 1 hour):

(So it works out at 3 hours minimum for all those drops.)

I've updated the article now! Thank you!
Seems there was a bit of a blip in the Twitch setup which has made these a little different to intended but thanks so much for raising o7

Maybe update 15 and/or 16 are supposed to be big updates; but is there really only going to be THREE game updates this entire year? With one of those being bug fixes for an update from last year?

these are updates just cosmetics as in 2022. As long FDEV don't focus on there flagship no sustainable outcome will be delivered. For now no hope for FDEV and their economic situation.

Updates with full numbers usually indicate major updates, with new content like fleet carrier interiors, maelstroms and the Thargoid war, er cetera, or the planned "key feature overhaul", whatever it's going to be. Bugfixes are included in those updates, but not limited to them. Patches, interim updates and serverside fixes happen inbetween those, and aren't labeled " Update XX".

In frontiers universe it’s really rare,


The most movements and minor updates are happening around the big ones. Performance improvements? Minor bugfixes ? Are sadly most going under in the maelstrom of new features and follow up bugs

I don't have the time or the patience to bandy crooked words with bitter spammers, so feel free to take the salt somewhere else. Thank you.

No need for this.

It’s just some honest words. Need a proof, look at the issue tracker

Glad you still have time for insults though.

But they had a point. We get a big (numbered) Update, followed by one or two hotfix patches. But then we usually have to wait for the next big Update to see further bug fixes. Interim big fix patches is not something Frontier usually do at the moment.

 

[Lyamecron]

There are a lot of long standing issues that I would love to see adressed sooner rather than later. If possible, please have more interim updates to fix these bugs on the side.

That's the spirit.

The issue tracker will allow you to see whatever you want to see, if you filter out "acknowledged, fixed and by design" categories.

Do bear with us as we familiarise ourselves with key Forum discussions we may have missed throughout the break period. We'll do our best to keep on top of things as we kick things off for 3309!

I'd love to see a comment on the exo-bio demotion debacle.

Other than that, a happy new year to you as well, Sally! Hope you had nice holidays.

Any chance the interim/bugfix update could fix my Cutter so the autopilot can find the mailslot and not destroy the ship on launch?

 

[Aris Tarkus]

I would be happy with a functioning Mission Board

I'd like the bobbleheads that I paid good money for (pre-arx) to actually look in "live" like they are supposed to instead of these missing textures:

This is an English language forum.

If you have hit the exclusion zone of a star you need to point your ship directly away from the star. Target the star & use your nav compass to put it directly behind you. When you charge the FSD to jump to supercruise you will see a blue (with the default colour scheme) escape vector target you need to line up with. Don't boost, that will add heat. You could disable high power consumption modules (eg shields) to reduce the temp of your ship.
The ship will get hot, if you have no heatsinks you'll just have to tank the damage for the 5secs it takes to jump to supercruise. If you try to jump to another system you will have to take the damage for the 15 secs it takes to charge the FSD.
Then repair your ship at the earliest opportunity. Good luck!

Which textures are missing?

Skull is missing blue and the red glow in the eye - wireframe Coriolis is missing its shiny reflective sort of chrome surface, the pilot is also "meh":

This is in 3.8 tonight:

My AspX progress is stuck at 0%. I got the python and the Conda, but the rest isn't progressing. I've watched about 4 hours of people playing, still nothing.

 

[cerveaux]

I noticed you didn't post this on Steam. Maybe it's because you get roasted by the community for bringing nothing to the table every time. Or maybe it's because you ban people who give valid criticism for no reason and it's a lot easier to be on damage control here.

This game took an awful turn.
