The galactic map. The route planner seems to be bugged in a couple of ways. After increasing my jump distance and buying a fuel scoop I cannot even return to areas I came from. When I click on a system if it shows a plan route option as white if I look elsewhere and come back it has often turned red. If I try fastest route instead of economical it turns red and when undo changes it stays red. When I find a system that allows me to plan a fastest route it includes jump points in places where there are no systems on the map as well as at least one jump that is far beyond my ships actual capability! Spent the last half an hour trying to plan a route only to have to give up. My Adders current jump distance is over 17ly, I have stripped all weapons and shields, have a fuel tank with 8 fuel and installed a fuel scoop and still cannot even fly to Sol or the Founders system (yes I have permits).
 
I've seen this quite a bit as well but never had an issue with landing with it. As long as you're inside the circle you'll be fine so normally, going very slowly forward into the circle triggers the automatic landing/docking/ship grabbing process.

I've seen this more in open than solo. I suspect it is more likely to happen if you're spamming to dock and the request goes through too soon after another ship has finished there.
 
Bug with rewards from routing capital ships.

Dunno if it has been posted here before, but there's a bug when rounting capital ships - at least the majestic interdictor kind. If I only used C2 Beam Laser (doesn't matter if fixed or gimballed - I've testet with both) to kill the heat relays you don't get any rewards for routing the capital ship - I have video proof if need.

Now that's just silly. If I kill one of the heat relays with something other than C2 Beam Lasers, I get the 50k CR routing reward.
 
I have ticketed this too, but am not convinced it's not a 'feature'...

Energy bleed-back through systems overloaded by laser fire...:)

I noticed it a lot in my Eagle, but not in my Cobra. It's probably by design for fighters when they lose shield rings to laser fire (or I suspect it's more specific to laser beam fire).

I was undertaking a mission and I receive a mission update whilst roaming the galaxy, however, the title of the mission now reads "Abandon delivering slaves to $##DESTINATIONSTATIONNAME;"
I took a screen shot but I'm not allowed to link it within this forum, however, it can be found at the address below if you take out the spaces

That's not a bug, read the description of the mission carefully. And that's a very fishy link, don't link images, you can upload them directly from your computer to your comment.
 
Bounties revealed by the KWS are NOT attributed after a kill.

The announcement for the reward appears correctly in blue in the top right corner upon the kill but nothing registers in the transaction panel.

This is since 1.04

Yes it is a bug - clearly and unambiguosly $##DESTINATIONSTATIONNAME; has not been correctly substituted with an actual name.

Regarding the upload, no, you can't upload an image directly until you've made a certain number of posts to the forum so I've had to upload it onto my domain instead, not that it really matters, the textual description should suffice.

actually, they are. the problem is they're only claimable in a specific allegiance home space. i'm sitting on over 250k worth of vouchers that i'd have to jump to alliance and empire space to get. i think i'm just over 100Ly out of empire space atm. check your transactions tab and it should show "claims" and where (allegiance space) you'd have to go to claim them
 
6 times cince the new pathc it says i got the bounty but when i get to statiion to redeem it thers noting... frustrating...
then i accidently beamd a fedral ship and got 200 bounty.. okay normal i tink, then heading to a station i get scaned before i manage to get inside the guns in station starts fiering at me.... i manage to land whit 30 % healt... then pay off bounty repair the ship (cobra mk3) then i press lunch and die almost instantly

so far i have loss 400k ingame currency just over bugs.:S
 
Ok wats been happening to me is the game freezes and i have to alt tab to the desktop to end the process. But then the game will not start back up onto my Rift its just a black screen until i restart the PC, new with 1.04
 
A system right near the Laedla system has a faction seemingly in a civil war with nobody. The system has a lot of conflict zones without any conflict (just a big convoy flying in circles), you can only pick one faction to side with - there is no other. That's a bug isn't it?

Now that was funny!
 
- sending Empire Capital ships home in high intensity zone does not give the 50k bonds anymore once you have collected 900k bonds OR it does not give bonds when you disable it with a Beam Laser only. (900k is when I run out of multicanon ammo so I can't tell which of the two is the cause)
 
so is k warrant skan usless??? i scan a ship, says it has 10k bounty then i start chooting at it the first ting that happends is the u got 200 bounty

If it doesn't have a bounty in the system you are in then you will get a fine.the k warrant scanner informs you of bounties in other systems
 
The ring system of LTT 8584 6 is a bit of a deathtrap. The third ring extends extremely far out (I was emergency stopped at 28.6 LS and promptly jumped by pirates) and is completely invisible when supercruising, and frequently invisible in normal flight.
I also constantly got dropped "too close" while trying to supercruise away from it, not being able to see the ring meant I couldn't figure out the course to take. Only escape route was to jump to another system.

Fun thing to happen while flying under-insured, but hey, that's what you get for living dangerously :D
 
Mission marked as available but yet unable to finish

Sitting on large ship do not restrict you to take hauling mission which requires you to land on outpost.
I cant buy smaller ship without clearing my cargo and I can do it only by abandon mission option. I even cant eject cargo, go quickly change ship and scoop it again.
TL:DR Bulletin Board have missions available to take which are impossible to finish and it is a BUG!
 
Trying to find SOME way of legitimate combat.... Good grief. Every time I "bounty hunt" (the one advertized way of fighting without becoming an outlaw) the cops attack me. So I go where there are no cops. Except there are cops. Lots of them. Everywhere. I went to an "unexplored" deep space anarchy resource extraction site. Full of npcs (not sure how exploration actually means anything). A pirate scanned me so I attacked him after scanning him with my bounty scanner. All of a sudden, system authority vessel is attacking me too. This happens everywhere I go. Because it's anarchy, I can kill the system authority without getting a fine. But if they scan me and I have stolen goods (picked up from legitimate bounties) then I get a fine. Sigh.

I just did some mining in a ring system and had a few asteroid went invisible on me. They were still there, I could still mine them and they appeared on the scanner. I didn't find out if I could crash into them but I think that would still be possible.
