Your lucky to even find pirates, have taken several of these missions, get the 'abandon mission' alternative, but always ignore it. Then I travel around for an hour or more and find nothing, takes 10 minutes for a USS to appear and then it just contains cargo or clean ships. On one occassion i got ambushed by at least 10 ships, did not have time to find out what they were as 3 of them were firing on my eagle and I got out quick, figuring those odds were to uneven. So spent an hour just flying around and then the contract expired. Does not make me eager to take other similar missions.

Exactly since 1.07 some Joystick controls have stopped working! I use the Thrustmaster warthog since I fly in my flightsim cockpit and in options/controls I can still reassign commands to the trim POV and the TGP slew horizontal axis. ED does recognize and assigns the input but then back in game they do nothing!
Anybody else with a TM warthog has that problem? Thank you in advance?

Okay, let's go for some combat bugs this time!
Just did a mission to assassinate some general for the Empire, located the target, scanned him and noticed he was clean. With this in mind I waited for hem too shoot first, which he did, still clean (!?), so I killed him anyway which of course gave me a neat little wanted status and bounty on my head. After this I returned to the station where I got the mission, handed it in, got the new rank, and tried to pay my bounty, but the pilot federation claimed I had nothing to pay. Confused I checked the faction summery on the right and it was still showing a bounty and the wanted status was still there. So, now both confused and a bit frustrated I restarted the game, and yeah, no bounty or wanted status whatsoever ...
Besides that I note that you still get a bounty if you shoot wanted ships before scanning them, so I guess either the devs haven't fixed this since the beta days or it's actually your scanner making them wanted.

Ran into a strange bug tonight. I try to run the game, and the client will auto-minimize. I can't make it stay in focus. I hear the music and see the menu momentarily when I try to maximize the client, but it'll just flicker back to showing the launcher or desktop. Any help?
The only thing that's changed is that I cloned my C: drive to an SSD and now the SSD is my boot drive. Should I try reinstalling the launcher?
OK, I read that there's some problem with the Samsung Magician software for the SSD--that it causes a bug with full screen games. I turned it off and now the game works.

Trying logging in and out that normally works for me.
Hey everyone,
Has anyone had a problem with paying fines since the last release? Got a fine in Matec but no option to pay it.

Yes, that's what I did. Have raised it as a bug though:#00000033401. We can't be logging out and back in again everytime we get a fine.
So i also have the fine bug and my buddy, but this comment is about the weird boxes around the stars. i completed an assassination mission and now i have an odd box around my suns. sorry would post actual image but i'm a newb on the forums :'-( so i can't post anything useful to show the issue, if anyone else has the same issue and can post picture please do. its one of those unique things that's hard to miss
type 7 lost at launch 1.6m credit rebuy
I want my credits back first off. I had just hit launch after being griefed by 2 d.b.s on approach to station. When I cleared the pad... the station guns open fire on me! So... 2.5million credits gone in about a minute. First loss... 1m credits, oh well. Griefers grief. Then I uograded my ship so as not to go down so easy next time. Pop on launch. I'm a bit perturbed.

Issues following FSD wakes after 1.07
So my friend was out bounty hunting and I thought I'd get a little practice following him about. Normally it's a bit tough to approach and disengage near a low energy wake but today it seemed impossible. Occasionally there was a message saying the wake needed scanning, my friend tried it too WITH a wake scanner (even though we were only trying to follow low energy wakes and not high ones) and it still wouldn't let him disengage.
Then there were multiple instances of the same enemy appearing for me apparently after it had been killed by my friend.
Co-ordinating with someone else is hard enough usually but hopefully this can be ironed out soon as it made supporting each other completely impossible.
Also big lag on hyperspace jumps, some lasting close to a minute.

I just found a problem in the game that is user caused, but something needs to be fixed in game to keep it from happening again. I left the Wolf 1301 station and traveled to Mantja System in a Cobra Mark III My ship was fully loaded with all the bells and whistles.. I purchased some Palladium (32 cargo) and then tried to travel to LP 355-65 to sell the cargo. While at Mantja, i also decided to upgrade whatever i could. I believe it was here that I did myself in. To keep the story short, I Trap myself at Mantja !!!! No matter what I did, I could not leave. I even went to the extreme of selling my cargo (for a loss) and selling all the Hard points and whatever else I could to gain the much needed jump distance to get out of Mantja. My feeling is that if I would have had a warning to not upgrade my Frame shift drive or whatever it was I upgraded then I could have saved my Beautiful Cobra. But the reality of it all is.. i needed to get out of Mantja so guess what i did to make this happen.... There was really only one option for me at this point. I had to blow my ship up on purpose ! I feel something needs to be there for the player in case something like this occurs. I am now back at LHS 3447 in a sidewinder... Can someone look into this please... to protect the player from such a catastrophe?
Tried the exact same thing in my Type 7. Things are getting pretty hairy for traders in open play. By nature it's a free for all, and it brings out the worst in griefers. Getting interdicted by players in Pythons with all guns blazing too. I'll probably move to group play soon, and let the loons have their fun in open play.
If you're in open play, the only safe place is inside the hangar.
