Patch Notes Update Elite: Dangerous Update 1.05 Change Log

My proposal for you, me and everyone who thinks that "stuff that matters for the community" will be fixed, is...STOP HALLUCINATING. The list of things that have to be either reviewed or altered has become so long that it might be more time and money-consuming than creating a brand new game. So, just stop dreaming of significant updates except of wings and of course paid features. This is Elite Dangerous whether we like it or not, sadly.
The background simulator does not work. Do you understand what that means for a simulator game?

Yes... finally I can log in to the iPhone app. Thanks!
Hi Commander.
I have other games that were bugged beyond belief when shipped, some by large publishers, and got no refund. When I play some game and get kicked out of a session for no reason and lose all progress I don't go complain to the developer to give me credit for kills or weapons I lost. FD time is better spent on fixing the bug and further development than in offering to refund every player ever inconvenienced by a bug. And seriously, it is a game and to be this invested in a game to through around the sentiments you are does seem a bit much/immature.
Microsoft doesn't give me money when Windows or Excel crashes. They don't help me recover my lost work or rub my sore ego, and that happens when I am working for real money in the real world.
I feel sorry for the time you lost and you must obviously care about the game to keep posting like this. I have never gotten close to 50 million credits, so I can understand the frustration I would feel if a bug cost me over a million. But I would not think at this point the Devs should be refunding in-game credits for anything other than a massive bug that affected majority of players in a major way. The big win is the bug gets fixed because fixes and tweaks are on-going and this isn't a boxed game where an update may never come. That's my take on it anyway.
My proposal for you is to not wind yourself up so much.
This is the beginning of the game and there WILL be many major updates going forward as the game evolves. This is by no means "it".
Wings is just the first post-release update. There will be many more free ones released over the coming year with major features and content added to the game. This while FD at the same time will work on the expansions in parallel. This is why they have expanded their development team after all.

This is a very good point which puts game bugs into perspective. I wouldn't like to add up the real cost of MS bugs to my productivity over the years.
You mean what Nvidia put in their Release Notes after launching a new driver? Fixed Issues, Known Issues, Issues not related to Nvidia? Yeah, second that!

Apparently you are an optimist and that is a nice characteristic. Still, i was expecting a "living, breathing galaxy" and what i experience is a "vast asphyxiating galaxy". The things they have to change to transform "asphyxiation" to "breath" will make Frontier non-viable as a company. Hopefully, i am wrong and you are right...but i doubt it.

Hi Michael, this line is not in the server changelog part, is it related to the client or the server?
Hurray..... It became very annoying to many CMDRS. I tell'ya!
I made a very similar suggestion last week,
I appreciate FD are hard at work but a running list of known issues and whether they are being investigated, fixed, fixed awaiting another update etc would be nice, similar at least to the known bugs page during beta when going to report a bug..
Not least because if we know it's a known bug we know not to bother wasting supports time by filing yet another ticket.
FINALLY I can get onto the companion app!
aaaaand the first thing I spot is a typo... (Federal Dropship is apparently a "Heavy Assualt Ship")
edit: also several ships missing from catalogue (adder, python, t7)

Stuttering when nearing a planet seems worse since the update.
Nothing to do with your post, just wanted to say how much I appreciate your avatar photo of Talby! I so wanted to be CMDR Pinback but someone (of course) already took it.
I would think the commander you are replying to may know a thing or two about how the developers react to the needs of the game and community. If it wasn't for some u turns by the development team based on ideas from the community pushed and concentrated by this commander to bring in super cruise we would still be asphyxiating in rooms in space. Experience of the dev team has given plenty of reason for this commander to be an optimist.

Nice! Well done devs. I hope we get a chance to manually set jump routes and save them at some point as well.
