Patch Notes Update Webserver Hot Fix - 5th Feb

[Michael Brookes]

Hi,

we've deployed a webserver hot fix to fix the issue where gaining an Elite rank of Elite didn't give you the Founders World permit.

Thanks

Michael

Cool - Thanks as always, Michael

How about a fix that just allows me to even play? I have tried to land all morning and the application crashes within 3 minutes, usually just after docking request granted and close to the entrance of Kealleam Ring Station. I have tried various things (reboot, logout, change graphics modes, solo/open...nothing helps) Its impossible to enter and land without the application crash report popping up and crashing to desktop. I have opened a ticket and submitted crash reports. Cannot play while this unstable :-( and I am afraid my mission timer is long overdue and will result in an (unfair) fine for non-completion within time limit.

What about a different station? (for now)

Hi Michael
Any word on what this means exactly for combat ranking of dangerous since its stated on the main Elite site and was a common topic David B would mention in every interview in beta not to mention the premise behind the name of the game.

Pilots of Elite ranking have further exploited their status and the incredible demand for their services, by forming an organization within an organization: the Elite Pilots Federation.

Increased crime and piracy has now forced the Elite Pilots Federation to open its membership up, expanding to include Pilots who reach the 7th ranking - Dangerous!

Not fussed if it is Elite only or not but some clarification would be nice.
Cheers
Mallick

So after all the whingeing on the forum from Elite pilots without the permit, we can presumably now look forward to those same pilots complaining that there is nothing really worth going there for ...

That's true in the fiction but you need to reach Elite status to automatically gain the permit.

out of curiosity, once we hit dangerous (or even elite) do new missions pop up?

(so new delivery missions for "elite" (aka dangerous) traders, new combat missions for combat "elites, and possibly some explorer missions for the explorers).

if not is this part of the planned mission generator overhaul (which I know you said whilst coming, is not coming "Soon")

Thanks

Not yet, but it is something we plan to support.

Thanks for that clarification Michael.

I was actually more interested in whether or not there would be some form of story tie in or something (as opposed to the permit thing) such as an "entry" mission or notification inviting players into the EPL and on a side note will decals have any distinctive graphic that shows membership other than the rank style?

The Elite rank logo is the badge of the Elite Pilots Federation. They have a different logo which is available for Founders. Down the line we'll also add missions specific to various rankings.

I've officially stopped playing/streaming elite. The game is too repetitive. A vast universe but nothing to do. It needs improved comms chatter, team missions/races, faster ship ageing/engine/parts deterioration. options to join NPC forces. base building.

The game is still in its infancy and has plenty of scope to add stuff later. Whiners want everything right now or they threaten to stop playing. (I bet you don't). Make your own missions.. I want to map my star sign constellation and some famous southern sky constellations. I want to get my commander name linked to newly discovered planets in these systems. If you are bored go play something else for a while. I have 3 games on rotation at the moment. If you play any game for extended time it becomes repetitive and boring...mix it up.
