Discovery Scanner - 23.01.2023 | Update 14.02 Deployment Date Announcement!

[e33et]

Greetings Commanders!

A little later than usual with the push out of Discovery Scanner this week! A few last little nuggets of information were required but here we are, back in the Galaxy for another week of Elite discoveries.

Lighter on community news but a little more impactful with game news - we have an announced deployment date for the "January Update", now titled 14.02!

You'll find the latest information here and more in the article itself, here: https://www.elitedangerous.com/news/discovery-scanner-23012023

---

If 14.02 is all you really want to know about, the scheduled deployment date is set for January 30, 3309.
The full expectations of the deployment, in terms of downtime and release times, as well as update notes and confirmed fixes, will be posted to you in due course, ahead of time.

If anything changes, like the ever swirling Galaxy can sometimes tend to do, we'll of course be promptly in touch.
​

A busy week behind the star curtain, Commanders, but we're getting there and we'll be in touch very soon.

o7 to you all.

See you in the black.

I wish you could fix the issues with some lack of important Tobii Eyetracker settings like the floating HUD in while you are in FPS, It's so annoying, plus I got some motions sickness too in supercruise, and the HUD in cockpit is also a bit of floating with some FX particles while you moving your head!

Regards

@sallymorganmoore :

It's a bit late now but we really need some clarification on what exactly this means:

Earlier galnet articles referred to "experimental weapons", now it's "AX weapons". It is still not clear if guardian weapons are included or if the stabiliser will only apply to human AX weapons, and there is going to be a lot of disappointed people if it's revealed to be the latter. A simple clarification (even just a tweet!) by a CM really should have been put out before the CG was run.

i have to agree, there´s a lot of confusion outside - we are all scared about that it will be impossible to mix a setup of 4 AX and 2 Guardian-Weapons
or the other way around. You like to clear this up for us ? ... thank you in advance !
... a huge fan

Fun fact, I automatically put the date format as 3309 there, when I actually intended to put 2023...but thankfully they mean the same thing so...

You know you're playing too much Elite when.........................

What I found most interesting was a lot of the Goid War Engine tweaks sound / look / would make an ideal Powerplay layer.

Quick recap of the stream available? Some infos regarding console transfer?

IIRC Arthur is looking into console transfers (from the stream) and will be back soonish (week or so).

Is he trying to find a polite way of saying "too late"?

Well, thay said that the transfers would resume, but not as as comprehensive as before the legacy / live split.

 

[Spaceman-FXL5]

As I said before, anyone who hasn't done it (transfer) yet should do it when announced, even if you don't use it yet, it will be there ready when you get the urge (and you will).

What Zieman said- the new service is going to be chicken and mushroom compared to last years beef and tomato.

I guess it must be a thing between the full process and the current process where you only get your credit balance back.

Tinfoil here,

All ships are gone (cosmetics too) just ranks and bankbalance would be available

 

[Ned Flandalorian]

Didn't hear anything about it on the livestream but I really hope this update will address the material rewards for thargoid missions. One single material just simply isn't a suitable reward for killing several interceptors.

Almost all cosmetics are paid for items so have to transfer, so I suggest just the bank balance is not included as that is the quickest one to get back.

I don't think that's a good assumption at all. The original account transfer system gave you the credit value of your console account's cash and ships, and that was it. Technically speaking Arx are the only real "paid" items, and that's the one thing even the previous comprehensive transfer system didn't move over ... likely due to restrictions in the game store contracts with the console makers. If I had to bet, I would guess the new transfers are going to once again only give you cash value, plus maybe keep your ranks and/or cosmetics.

Greetings Commanders. As many of you are aware, we announced a target release date for the deployment of Update 14.02 as being Monday, 30th January (this coming Monday). Unfortunately, the team have deemed it necessary to delay the update, however this is a decision made in order to ensure the...

There has been delay. Maybe we'll get a new target date today, depending on Frontier's progress on the show stopper.
