Each and every time a patch list is posted, we get the same type of reply:
"That's nice, but when will we get...?"
Don't you know the #1 axiom of development?
"As Soon As Possible, But No Sooner."

We weren't intended to get ship discounts? Just outfitting equipment? Or was that also a bug?
One would assume that after years of video gaming everyone knows the term "When it's done"
The Founder's World is Shinrarta Dezhra.
You can type in 'Founders World' into galaxy map nav and it will take you there instead of typing the above name.
Multiplayer Optimization patch?
Hey guys when the MP Optimization patch [WINGS] will be released? Any rumors?
Thanks!

That analogy strikes me as poor in relation to the question at hand.
For clarity, were you a Kickstarter backer or beta/gamma backer? There was a bug making some non-Kickstarter backers get the Founders permit by mistake. Some other beta/gamma backers have understandably (due to vauglt-written lists of benefits) thought that they should have received Founders access too after reading others did.
No, Founders World is in a different system and refers to "Founder" backer of the game rather than in-game humanity.
AFAIK the discount was originally intended for outfitting only, but the devs changed their mind lately and said it will be introduced for ships aswell.
I think the discount was displayed but not applied - a couple of people got caught out by this (the non-discount ate their rebuy) and there was quite a long thread about it.

Edit: I too thought that the discount only applied to outfitting, I must have missed the announcement.

Are these the server updates that you mentioned in the 1.04 log that would be announced by Andy later or are these all new server updates?
What were the other updates if this isn't it?
Please speak for yourself but not for me. I am also part of the Community and I do not know, as much as yourself about what the Community would expect in case of bugfixing.
... Thx.
Sorry but I am fat up with these negative, reasonless postings
Thanks for the regularity of minor bug fixes. I am sure you're working hard on not only stamping out yet more bugs, but also providing more content and features. I much prefer this schedule of frequent drips and drops of patches, than waiting for ages until a 'mega-patch' is ready. Besides, in my experience, big patches usually require a hot-fix or two pretty soon after release.
Keep up the good work making a great game even better
I agree with this I just really want to be able to influence the game more then one system limitation we are working with now. At this point ther eis no way tot get to systems like Phekda because they require a permit and you can't get the permit unless you get a large chunk of influence in a system outside of Phekda and that is currently not possible. It is also impossible to grow a faction outside of there starting area. Once they reach expansion, all of there attempts to gain influence in the surrounding areas stalls at exactly 9%. After that it does not go up or down. Making it impossible to grow the faction further. This has been proven by the Mikun Mercs Experiment. There are several threads discussing this limitation which is believed to be an intentional hard cap but they use the excuse they are not going to speak about the black box that is the backround simulation.... Take your time, but you must fix it. Its a deal breaker for me, and ALOT of others.
Mission fixes sound good, thanks.
With all the people complaining about this update not containing enough or fixing what they wanted, Frontier would rightfully conclude that they should only release an update when it is huge and fixes loads of stuff. So we would go from frequently released smallish updates to infrequent larger ones, bundling more fixes. Personally, I much prefer the current approach with lots of smallish updates - so I hope they ignore everybody complaining.

there is also NOTHING stopping one from using "Target Panel, Galaxy Map, System map" to see just WHAT kind of station that mission goes too. personally i never taken a mission where i could not land. so there is nothing to fix there IMO other then the affected pilots habits, otherwise, its just a inconvenience issue.
apart from that, little steps at a time, glad to see its being worked on. will see what 1.06 brings.
What are "massacre missions"?
This. But oh, dont come them with rationality.
