1.2 is out. Recommend you spend the next few days in a sidewinder

Yeah - last update to 1.1 cost me my Clipper to the collision bug and 1 month of offline waiting for support to get my credits back. Been waiting a few days now in a Sidewinder until i see the FDL price before rebuying my old Clipper
 
A lot has changed. You might want to play in a sidewinder for a couple of days until the dust settles.

Sure, I'll just park my Asp at the nearest station and change over to my sidey. Oh that's right; I'm 750 LY out and haven't seen a station for three nights.

Now you tell me.

those first few seconds when he exits supercruise in wings formation and ends up INSIDE the station....

Yea. With you there.

Me n my Clipper are not getting parked up any time soon either. Bout 6000ly out!

And while it's only a couple 'o tons I'm now slightly down on jump range cos I fitted modules with no mass that now have mass.

Curses1
 


Just had a play in my conda - yes risky but worked out ok

heat changes work as advertised. I let my 42 beam weapons overheat (101%) for just 2 seconds and had 1% daamage
to sensors (no cost yet so small damage) - more importantly no costly hull damage as it was before.

Supercruise out 890ls to nav point for some fun ... and it was :)
very busy nav point - 10X more traffic, some wings and a series of type-7's that were wanted - 11k spam in a can every time
got savaged by a wing when I killed one of their wanted members

Also found another wing with only 1 wanted member - fried him and the other 2 ran and jumped - nice touch

What else - havnt played with wings yet sorry

Graphics seem better performance for me in 4k/SLI still a little lagging when you pass the star in view but for sure better

All weapons/shields etc on my ship as they were before

Got rammed by a python in a wing ... shields stood up as usual (and I only have type 5's not 7's)

Clocked up 20 kills and 250k in 30 minutes and headed back to station

Main Repairs : Still 0%
Repairs to hull ...... 29k (it was 0 when i left so I guess that little round trip cost me . prob about the same as before)

Havnt tried interdicting again but will later to see if it still costs 100's of k

all seems good - apart from mission database/server seems not to be up yet

One last thing - fuel scooping with the changes to heat much better now I can scoop @ 70-75 without being in the red
brilliant (ie still under the new 100% which i think was the old 160%)

Thank you very much FD seems a nice release - a lot of hard work

Be very careful with the fuel scooping. Try not to let the heat get much over 60%

This is probably the only change to really "watch out for". Nothing actually changed except the corresponding values changed to make more sense. So before when at like, 160% or so, you started to take damage, now that happens at 100%. But they didn't change what temps start the dmg, just the visual representation, so if you just keep doing what you used to but aware of the visual changes..you'll be fine.

I will probably never play because the ED servers suck and I get like 150kb/s on my 50 Mb internet..

I thought damage started at 100% on all ships now? A typical scoop for me is in the 75-80 range.

Cool. That works for me.

If someone could see their way to shipping one out to Sagittarius A region, that would be great ;)

The trip out would be easy. Getting back might take some time with my thumb out.
