Hull is not equal to modules. Were the module repairs also high?
Then let me make this real clear and simple for Michael.
If this is the case, I am done. Enjoy your game. If I can't use a highly spec'd combat ship for combat, then why am I even here?
The glibness and complete lack of communication on here is getting really tiring.
Honestly, It's like the proverbial escalator with these patches - up one step and down two. What with bugs in repair costs, advancement missions, combat rep, exploration to name butr a few! Please FD show a little sense here and get some priorities in order. At least get the major stuff sorted in ED before swanning off to lands afar (E3). You couldn't make this stuff up if you tried.
Yes, but all gained through a couple of interdictions which makes it pointless to run such a big ship.

Make sure to post feedback and issues in the Xbox forum so the right people see it and can track it.

We are looking into the issue of repair costs. It was shifted to server moderated prices in 1.3 and is having some knock on effects which we thought we'd fixed but clearly not.

that depends.. if it is not a bug but a balance change then I guess it is just added noise in the bug threads for when there are real issues (take the exploration one, that is a huge problem which is breaking the game for explorers and unless sorted "Yesterday", or (more likely) rolled back will kill exploration..
ideally there needs to be 1 thread per bug, and then only posts directly relating to said bug going in the thread, that way it is easy to see the sevwerity of the issue by looknig at the thread size. in the real world however this does not work, but I guess the mods are just trying to do what they think is best. I do not believe it is some conspiracy to hide bugs

Just spent several hours in game.
Problem after Problem
"weapons overheat where they never overheated before"
"Bounties that no longer pay out"
"Ranking Missions that dont work"
etc etc etc , i could go on & on.
The Game was FUN at 1.2 , which is what games are supposed to be.
Now with all the bugs there is nothing but frustration & growing anger.
Seems your too busy looking at expanding the game to other platforms , rather than fix the growing list of problems.
Please get your heads on strait and Fix the problems, no more adjusting things that work & creating more problems.
Taking a break from the game till i cool off.

Any plans to add more weapon variety?
I am currently doing combat Elite in CZ and definitely the progress is seen. Currently I am deadly, 31% left to Elite. What is the most important is that the progress depends on the ships you destroy and their rank. If you destroy mostly harmless Sidewinders - you can destroy one thousand of them and not see any progress. Elites, and especially Elite Pythons and Anacondas lead to a fast progress. I would also speculate whether you get the best progress for killing the enemies of your rank +/- 1.
in which case I stand corrected from my last post (i assumed the increases were part of a balance)
Does that mean costs paid over the last few days will be refunded (if not no worries I am just curious)
What about minor faction reputation decay? It's not meant to happen, yet has been observed but many people, and we still don't even know whether you devs are aware of this being an actual issue, and how severe and pressing this matter is: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=152296
Does anyone actually drop 100 tons? That would push even a T9 trader into negative cash flow. I would presume a vast majority would give you the middle finger and hit self-destruct regardless of the cost.
However, i did see a post not long ago where an open player was asking if anyone had seen a T9 recently.... from what I understand, a lot of people who use trade ships for trading now do so in group or solo. I presume this is because trade ships are terrible at defense. If you are going to trade in open, you need a combat capable or a very fast ship unless you want to be a soft target.
I've made the point before, there needs to be more defensive options (although more well thought out than SCBs) that are valuable for traders but not pirates (maybe more powerful mines, but that would bring its own issues). If they can add something like that it would balance the scales a bit and provide less one sided encounters. Another (perhaps easier) option, just give traders a lot more slots for turrets. Let them tank. At which point, they could also do something about the whole submit/jump issue, and something with the high wake business (although i'm not too bothered with that, at the end of the day, a pirate should be carrying a wake scanner).
Hi All,
I'm beginning to think that the number of days that I'll be playing this game are numbered. I backed the game on the first day of the kickstarter campaign (which in the beginning was really poorly thought out) and also played it through beta but it has never really lived up to expectations. Perhaps that's me hoping for too much but...
FD is a business and like all businesses they want to make money. I'm coming to the conclusion that PP was released so full of bugs because they needed something to entice new players (customers) and with E3 looming plus the Xbox thing they had no choice but to bang it out when they did. Since then of course it's just been a case of "fix something and break something else" which generally speaking, seems to have upset a lot of PC players. But here's the crunch, we've paid our money and FD gets nothing more from us unless we buy a livery for our ship which we seldom see. So why should they really care? Just make lots of noise about warring factions and Combat arenas and rake in the unsuspecting. By the time that they realise just how shallow and bug filled this game is it'll be too late. The money will be in FD's bank account.
I'm sorry if this seems a negative view on the game but it's really how I feel right now.

Which beta was that Michael?
Cross play beta was unplayable the 1st night due to 100's of cans spammed at the station. Recent trade CG's were also trolled in the same way.

Currently minor faction reputation will decay but to a capped level. There will be a change in the next update so that it doesn't however negative reputations will still restore slowly back to neutral.
