Elite Dangerous | Type-8 Update (18.08) | Wednesday 7th August

[Thargon]

o7 All, hopefully the wait isn't long... I'll go do something more productive than procrastinating in the forums

 

[Fixitman]

I won't be able to play until 4 hours after the originally scheduled completion time. No big deal here. I prefer they take the time to do it right, rather than doing it fast and wrong.

 

[vanFace]

I'm obviously doing something wrong. From playing Elite from 2013, I still don't have enough arx to even buy one ship...

It was just a misunderstanding. P2W means "pay to win", not "pLay to win". Please pay 10 quids for the ARX package to gain enough in your account to at least unlock the new early access ship. Thank you for your ongoing support!

 

[Darkman Returns]

... No legal tender exchanged hands for the ship...

Spoken like a true pirate.

The hamsters have been reanimated and the anima has started flowing. Update is now available and servers should now be coming online.

As always please remember that some servers are very hungover and might take a little time.

 

[anShpan]

It is back. Just purchased Stellar in ARX store.

Yep, the store is now up (and I've bought the T-8 Stellar already!)

immediately starts preparing rant about how the servers are acting up post-update

No, just kidding this time. Won’t get to log on for at least another hour and a half anyway.

(But I’m sure we’ll get one within the hour… isn’t it part of some bingo card to complain about post-update [server] hamster vacations these days?)

games up, sites up

 

[Fixitman]

Still completed early after a delay Good Job!

I'll have a pair in a couple hours. Gotta do that "job" thing first.

 

[The Lawful]

And all the new Python 2 paintjobs! Including Tactical for a whopping 6K each, that was about the price for the entire set previously...

But the Snakebite ones look cool so far.

Anyway, o7,

Greetings Commanders,

The Type-8 update has been delayed whilst we investigate an issue. Please keep an eye here and on our social channels for updates.

In a twist of hilarity, did the Type 8 update get stuck under a Type 8?

On a totally unrelated note, I'm all out of guinea pigs.

 

[Tyres O'Flaherty]

I'm still not clear on how the extra backpack cap mod is going to work. Currently going in to look.

Also, still no PayPal allowed for ARX

EDIT: Woah! Just checked out mat rewards for on-foot missions! Now that's coolness

 

[Ghastous]

So only changes to the on foot engineering?

 

[Luriant]

GeForce Now already report updating the game, that was fast.

I can't get online until tomorrow night, could you expand on this please? Is it just the bigger numbers, or something else?

 

[IstvaanDCIV]

So only changes to the on foot engineering?

Nope, ship engineering has been revised as well. Better mat rewards for missions, no RNG when applying engineering to modules, and more.
