I have one question do they ever take a brake frontier is working nonstop sins the first alpha release .
High
concerning the shader generation, new files are generated in the directory:
c:\users\<my user>\appdata\local\frontier developments\Elite dangerous\173732\something.TRD => i this the new compiled shader ?
compare to the nvidia cache shader, thoose are a lot smaller (only 50k rather 8Mo for the nvidia shader cache), is it normal ?
thanks

It isn't.
Oh sure, players pledged to PowerPlayers other than Ms.Winters are no longer flagged as 'HOSTILE' when entering the Shinrarta system, but the system itself is still listed as being 'Exploited by Felicia Winters'.
I'm afraid this just won't do...
Can you imagine what all the other PowerPlayers will say when they open their own galactic maps and see the phrase 'Exploited by Felicia Winters' on the homeworld of the EFP, the very organisation that all of them rely on to do their dirty work? They'd all unite in a heartbeat and turn Ms.Winters to dust for her presumption.
And she KNOWS this!
Which is why it's folly for any PowerPlayer to lay claim to Shin Dez.
Being 'Neutral' is not enough.
Shinrarta Dezhra should be excluded entirely from the PowerPlay mechanic!
Now, it may well be that until the current PowerPlay round is completed, legacy code means our beloved Shinrarta appears as 'exploited' and that flag will disappear at the beginning of the next round.
But if it doesn't...
As I stated on page 7 in this discussion thread, anything less than total exemption for Shinrarta is an insult not only to all the other AI PowerPlayers, but also to the Elite Federation of Pilots, every single human player of the game, and most importantly to the entire history and lore of Elite itself!
No fix for the Imperial Courier's ridiculous heat build up, rendering fuel scooping impossible? Please don't tell me this is an intended feature for a COURIER?
Michael, any chance of an update on the VR fuzzy graphics issue. it seems there's no obvious menu setting to increase the graphics to the same as the main game.
I guess you didn't read the Beta 3 patch notes?
Although my HUD clearly shows SD to be Hostile, I have had no hostilities directed towards me as I fly about the system.
I suspect this is a display issue.
I must a concur with Turjan that SD should be neutral in every way.
Amazing work Michael by you and the team. Thank you!
Look upon their works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Geraldine!!!
Lovely to see you again - last time I saw you on the forums was when I introduced myself along with my father to you and Steve O B Have.
I hope you are very well indeed.
Totally off topic but still.
Happy trails
Steve
What, you mean this?
Yeah, not happening. Bought my Courier AFTER all the complaints (and after Beta 3), to see how bad it was.
It's bad.

No worries, mate. Just take your ride down to Fat Jake at Fat Jake's Custom Crafts, on Lave Station. Ignore the grubby, battered looking shipyard; the guy's a genius. He's an artist with metal. Pilots from all over the sector come to him to have their ships tuned up. We're talking the full max power treatment here. He'll have your courier surfing the corona of the hottest star in no time, and you won't even see the temp dial twitch. He'll also do the works: engine tune-up, overdrive the hyperdrive, tweak the tacticals, and if you talk nicely to him (and put some freestyle on the counter, y'knowadimsayin'?) drop in some of the more... off-market security and defence hardware, 'cause a guy's gotta be able to protect his sweet ride, no? And he's got a great paint man, so your ship is going to look the looks as well as fly the flies.
.
So Fat Jake's, is what I'm saying. Just tell him I sent you and he'll see you right.
Q. with 1.3 will the Assassination Bulletin Board Mission bug be fixed. The ones where you drop into USS and you get a messenger counter offer which then breaks the game as no matter which sss/uss/wss etc you drop into you don't see either the initial or revised target.
The fix we use it to shoot the messenger which prevents the contract update - however this makes you wanted.
If not, when will this be fixed please as it's right annoying.

yes its fixed. i just did one in 1.3 beta 4 and went with no problem, and yesterday i did another one and got the messenger with the counter offer and i still find the target and completed the mission.
Listening to your players = good. This new system is an improvement - in the same way that being bitten by a dog is better than being bitten by a Tyrannosaurus Rex (one day Jurassic Park will be real and I will *NOT* go there if they have 'Raptors).
This system still forces a player away for accidental friendly fire - including attacking people that are hostile to you! If I hear "under attack", spin around and shoot at the red guy I just targeted, I'm going to get a fine and have to leave the area - which means leaving the game and coming back another day. If a suicidal AI flies into my lasers (which happens a *LOT* if you engage from >500m), I have to leave - which for myself and other casuals means leaving the game. I'll spend two minutes *ACTIVELY* doing something - paying off a fine. I won't spend any time passively waiting in the game.
There *NEEDS* to be a threshold where there is a) a fine-only (you don't get attacked) and/or b) <$1k fines can be paid off immediately.
This is certainly better than before - but it's also worse than 1.2 and *MUCH* worse than what has been suggested in every thread that exists about this topic.
Awesome, thanks - I got 4 assault fines yesterday trying to search for one rap scallion - no idea what that 1200 fine would mean in the new world?
Not too much - assault comes as a bounty but you can pay it off as a fine within an hour (-ish) as long as it's not too much.
You'll be able to see the timer for the bounty ticking down. When it says H-Jump, you have to make a hyper jump so it switches over.
Is it just me or if I do something wrong I should get a fine first and then and only when I dont pay said fine does it become a criminal matter a awarrant is put out for my arrest (or in ED a bounty is put on my head) ED seem to have it the wrong way after all would you want the cops gunning you down because you were doing 80mph on the M6 (not that it ever gets above 60 and i never speed officer) or am i just missing something??
Cheers, guess the new stuff will take some time to get used to it. Massive step change this version.
