Elite Dangerous | New Survey Ship Kit!

[angusmadmac1]

No unicorn ship Kit with rainbow lasers and multicoloured stars coming out of the engines ???

 

[HRDiagram]

Please, don't give me other excuses to buy Cutters!

 

[aRJay]

why are new ship kits coming out when there's no incentive to buy them with the game in a bad state as it is right now with bugs? U16 saw references to anecdotal bug fixes at best. Rather than fixing Odyssey multi-crew experience with constant crashing. Consistent crashing to desktops. lack of AA fixes at best. Crap thargoid heart glowing, basically just patching over it. You can see see through the petal especially as it passes over a solid object like a planet or sun... come on fdev.

Why not?

How broken the game feels due to bugs depends so much on what you do in the game. For example I play every day and experience non of the bugs you listed as they either affect only activities I am not currently doing or those I have never been interested enough to try since they were introduced.

non of the bugs

Well, there were disgusting orbital/exclusion lines on AMD RX6xxx and only fixed by the shader file for EDHM mod.
People cried alot, but no fix from devs.

 

[Tyres O'Flaherty]

Aye, the Phantom needs this puppy

And there's one other aspect that's actually stopping from from pumping real cash into ARX at the mo: can't pay by PayPal. I understand there's an issue around this but I'm loathe to putting my card details into websites.

Otherwise, I would already have the kit(s).

Personal thing you understand.

 

[Medi0cr3]

Looks very cool! But add another sad voice to the "No Phantom?" choir. It is the bestest ship in the Galaxy, after all

one of the best explorers in the game and no survey ship kit

 

[St0rmFury]

Imagine exploring in a corvette.

Anyway, no phantom kit means my wallet is safe for now.

That one I didn’t experience either as I don’t have AMD cards.

Note I didn’t say the bugs weren’t there just that they don’t affect everyone in the same way.

I get Big Daddy Brabus has a list of most popular ships, but...why the Corvette? Its a ship of war, not a mushroom prodding sciencer. I do kind of wish ships still had a defined vibe to them and got things that augmented that.

and here we have a prime example of why devs tend to lock their threads.

Just to acknowledge!
Seeing the repeated requests and frustrations over these not being on your preferred or expected ships.
I've literally been in a call to pass on this feedback moments ago with the guys, it's taken onboard - we really do hope you like the direction the team are taking though, at the very least, with these new ideas for kits for you.
Thanks for the thoughts!

Thanks Sally, it might seem like we're not being appreciative towards the design team, but the Krait phantom is quite literally the most popular explorer ship. Not having a ship kit for phantom, but the corvette got one is just... I dunno lol

Absolutely, no need to worry on the repeats or further clarifying - loud and clear with you all As I said, it's already feedback on the team o7

That's what stopped me from purchasing it right now. I'll probably get it after work regardless

 

[Disemboweled Ego]

While the corvette doesn't fit thematically or in a gameplay sense on the Corvette -- at a quick glance the kit looks really good on all the big ships and probably best on the Corvette so it can be forgiven.

 

[HRDiagram]

While we're at it, the Type-7!

Do something for the beautiful ugly duckling!

I know, I know, I would be one of possibly just 5 people who buy it.

 

[yianniv]

They look great. They'll be my celebration purchase when the Secure Storage bug gets fixed.

And also a prime example of people not having the faintest idea how different dev and design departments do different things, yet they think they themselves have the competence to berate the devs on not doing their jobs. Brilliant...

Also, the dish alone looks awesome on the corvette

Actually, while we're at it, the Viper IV could use some love...
