Release 1.2. is great!

I used the debug camera in beta 1.2.... for all of 10 seconds. So I can see what my ship looks like from the outside. WOW.
Sorry but could never understand why something so superficial to quality of gameplay got so much interest.

The reason why so many, myself included are complaining about ship prices is: why they should be adding more ships available to traders only.

And this. We already have big expensive trading ships like the Anaconda. The price of the FDL a combat ship is just silly!

i was happy about it so i thought i would to the founders world to buy a anaconda get there and poof gone........
 
I'm happy they finally fixed the current route getting lost when you drop out of supercruise. That makes exploring a lot nicer, not having to replan the route after taking a screenshot, and it's a lot faster to turn an Anaconda around when not in supercruise.
.
However I hope this is a bug: My hull integrity dropped from 94% to 0%, or at least the indicator next to the shield status now shows 0%. My ship is still flying, windshield is intact as well. Not sure what to make of it. Maybe it's displaying ship integrity now? If that's the case, where can I see my hull damage?
 
Is this just on my side or did the Color for the Faction change for everybody? Intendend or Bug? Alliance is now Green and Independent Yellow, thats not that bad, but Federation Red and Empire Blue? Thats madness!

I swear it drives me nuts.

I bet it has something to do with this (from the 1.2 changelog: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=123776):

- Economy type colours now align with commodity colours, and the faction colours align with the branding we use for them in the galaxy map

Btw., it's really exactly like Titus Balls wrote in this beta testing thread: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=121905
The normal "Dangerous Discussions" forum is indeed "all gone a bit rabbid" ;)
 
More impressions:
NPCs definitely seem to be playing a little differently. Got interdicted by a puny NPC wing again, but this time I killed the 1st sidewinder very easily (immediately) and the other 2 fsd'ed the hell out.
Audio - 1.2 seems a little bassier, sound generally seems much better.

I'm not gonna read all of this, I'm way to lazy for that. And my point still stand, no matter the Reason: Empire blue and Federation red is madness! :p


As to where I post this, I was just looking for some general Thread about 1.2, this one looked fine for that.

I didn't argue against anything you said. Just wanted to point you at a possible explanation for what you discovered.

My statement about the Beta thread was aimed at you at all, but instead at the general negativity of the normal "Dangerous Discussions" forum ;)

We need a PB forum, IMO.

The fact that you won't use it doesn't mean that others won't either. Have you considered people who enjoy taking screenshots? From now on, in addition to the fact that they will be able to take nice scenery pictures, they will also have the opportunity to spend time adjusting the position and angle of their ship to make beautiful screenshots. Sites like http://www.elitegalaxy.org/ will greatly benefit from this feature. Actually there already are some very nice pictures there making use of this feature.

And I didn't even know about www.elitegalaxy.org :eek:

Thanks for mentioning it! What a great site :)
 
Even though nobody seems to be interested in anything but the new ships' prices, I think "Wings" is great!


So, keep complaining about the ship prices, everyone, and continue to overlook the important game play improvements that have been made, I am off enjoying Wings :p



Not just Wings is great. There are a lot of little tweaks that improve the game for me.

I admit I am a bit shocked about the price of the Vulture, but I sure won't lose sleep over it.
The FDL's price would be fine to me if it had a better jump rage.
It is a ship with only minimal cargo space. Trading is out of the question. So it should be a good bounty hunter, which means it should also be able to follow it's targets. It's jump range is a handicap I think.
