Imagine the furor if Blizzard was to announce a server update and all players would lose whatever levels they gained during an entire weekend! So, your level 90 warlock is now back to level 85!
Nice. I did 3 different rank missions over the weekend, ranked up 1 rank in empire to Knight and 1 rank in fed to CPO, and then did another last night to go up another fed rank to Warrant officer.
I'm now back to Squire and Midshipman (?!?). Thanks FD, nice to see my time wasted because of your poor release decisions.
fix broken cockpit hole not rendering whats behind it? No? ...great. A blind spot in the middle of the screen is really a blast to play with.
The last docked location is the safest location we can automatically return you to, the bug basically caused a loss of your known location. However we can access your last jumps so we'll move the 90 odd affected commanders to their last jump that we can access which should put them close to where they were. This will happen sometime this afternoon, so hold off playing the game until this is done! Otherwise you will be magically teleported.

No - it only affects players whose rank suddenly reset to zero, or suddenly increased beyond a single step up.

We will revert the ranks to the highest of what they were before, even if that was incorrect. Progress will also be reset to an appropriate level for that rank. This change will be active later today.

This is true. But, as expected, whiners will get their "so hardly earned" ranks back. Unfortunately.Am i the only one that sees that the whole quick ascension in ranks was just a bug and it shouldnt be allowed to remain in the game ?
I am one of the people that went from viscount to DUKE within the weekend without really any effort, just doing the random ascension popping up missions. But i saw that this wasn't right, since to gain a rank i would usually need to make like 20-30 missions before an ascension mission would pop up. So i don't get why people want to keep the FALSELY gained ranks.... And i also don't get why FD bends on their will and give them back. As other people said, if you want to be Duke or baron or whatever, work for it, don't expect to get it over a bugged weekend of ascension mission continuesly popping up all the time ...
Hi everyone,
Thanks for your patience while the servers are down today... (should be back up at approximately 16.30PM BST)
Here's a list of the changes in Elite: Dangerous 1.3.01:
Client Changes:
- Fix soft lock loading system map
- Fix for route plotting: route isn't cleared anymore each time a target is locked. Route is now cleared only when plotting a new route, reaching the end of the current route or when jumping in another system which is not the next destination on the current route
- Fix NAT handling for text chat
- Art tweaks for vibrant and tactical paint jobs
- Fixed Hangar cameras for DiamonbackXL so the right camera is focusing on the appropriate place
- Increase base repair cost for Diamondback Explorer as it was too low
- Fixed miner loadout with missing mining laser
- Updated Hitman Attacks AI archetype to be more aggressive
- Altruism Missions Will now remove all cargo upon completion

- Fix a bunch of UI text issues
Server Changes:
- Fix rank benefits for reducing fines and bounties from committing crimes
- Various performance and reliability improvements, including significant improvements for hyperspacing and exploration scanning
- Fix some missing ships that should have been stocked by various powers
- Commanders who cannot load back into the game after a certain type of Hyperspace failure should be automatically rescued to one of the last 5 systems they jumped from and their fuel tanks filled.
- Fix faction influence levels when many factions experience significant influence drops in a given star system
To address problems from the above issue, all minor faction influence levels in all star systems have been reset back to their state just before the release of 1.3
For those Commanders affected by the problems with military ranks, their Federation and Empire progression has been restored to the state just before the release of 1.3
Mission Server Changes:
- Missions should now give correct rewards
- Massacre missions should now payout correct reward
