Many stations removed since 1.1

It would have affected around 100 systems.

If anyone had an ounce of Common Sense they would have given the backers named stations in unexplored areas not in areas where we are currently living and working. I havent played for a few days so I'm really looking forward to having something else to moan about .NOT! Do you think we like moaning? Actually no, would rather praise anyday over moaning, its affecting my health all this negativity, games are supposed to be the thing in my day that relieves me of work stress, a method of escape.....

.
Why dont these issues get picked up before release? Have you guys not learned from your previous mistakes? I'm sure most of us would rather get bugs fixed than have new stuff in the game. If you are going to do new stuff make it worth the disruption..... if my stations gone then the missus is gonna get a beating again and its your fault! LOL just kidding hehe

I think you misunderstand. The manual naming of stations was for a handful of systems and they paid a lot of money for them to be in populated space. The majority of the renaming came from the dynamically named stations, which was unexpected, but we'll fix it.

So, to be clear... Are the current station types & names here to stay? Is there a chance you will change them back to what they were a few days ago? Or, is this decision still pending?
 
So... Bond Port in HIP 12716 has NO commodity market. Yesterday, this was called Boss Station. http://www.elitetradingtool.co.uk using "Lists" tab, searching for HIP 12716, clicking on Boss Station, shows it certainly had a commodity market yesterday. (I don't remember noticing any places without a commodity market before...)
(Screenshot in my post I'm quoting, omitted here so it's not double posted.)

Are there supposed to be stations with no commodity market? (Perhaps I haven't noticed this before.) Or, is this a bug?

I think the name changes are here to stay. Names are going to change in the future to, so they are going to fix that.

Yep, there are stations without commodity markets. Has always been the case. Whether they change or not is another question.
 
Why were so many icons changed on the BB? We used to be able to tell delivery from fetch from parcel, now they all have parcel icon

I'd just like to call this out. I've been wondering about it as well. All the icons are the same,
requiring a perusal of the flavour text for the mission to discern it's type.

It has begun
 
Don't know if this is an issue or not, but I thought I'd mention it here in case it was related to the stations subject. I just did a little bit of exploring within 20 LY of the Belarsuk system, and visited about 5 systems that I'd not been in before, and every one of them just had a single star.....no other bodies to discover. No planets, asteroids, just the star. Now I haven't done much exploring at all, so this may be a very common occurrence, but what little exploring I have done before I've encountered systems with planets, asteroids or even other stars...every time.

It may be nothing, it may just be those systems have always been that way and it was just pure chance that all of them I checked out today were single star systems. I don't know. Maybe more experienced explorers can tell me if there's a lot of systems like that ?
 
This totally floored me last night. I was doing a few things and picked up a trade mission as well. When I came back to the system, I find that 'deliver to' station wasn't there. I had been drinking, and just kept staring at mission, and the system map. I logged out right then and there, figuring I was too trashed to play anymore. Glad it wasn't my brain short circuiting.
