Patch Notes Update Beta - 1.6 and The Engineers (2.1) incoming
- Thread starter Zac Antonaci

As pointed out above - nice surface texture too. Great to see more detail added!
On the wheeltracks - how long do they persist? I know they'll never be permanent, but it'd be great if they could last at least a few minutes. Not just for cosmetic reasons, sometimes I'm on the path towards a POI and want to veer off to investigate something. Being able to get back "on track" by looking for these would be a big help.
Never understood how making people leave a fight to re-ammo a utility module is good for balancing, and is anything other that frustrating/annoying?
As regards the SCBs change, where you used to run them in parallel, as long as you can now fire off SCBs quickly enough (under a single Heat Sink effect), then that should be workable, and a nice alternative approach...
But if FD have instead prevented that, it will be frustrating to see parallel SCB usage killed.
My real beef is with the heatsink -1. All my big ships run 2 SCB's each, and 1 heatsink to SCB. I'm always left with an SCB I can't use without frying my ship, or installing a third heatsink launcher which would of course scrub a shield booster from the build. QQ I know, but [sad] all the same. I guess it'll be 3 heatsink modules for 2 SCB's from now on.
Currently liking the fact that I get a connection error when I self destruct so have to take the long route back to the bubble only 5000lys!
Serously!
available sooner than I expected....nice. everyone realize there will be bugs and it wont be perfect.
A very impressive list of changes. Two things I didn't see, and may have just missed them (I hope) that would be nice to have are:
1) Prevent collection drones from picking up jettisoned/abandoned cargo.
2) Storing modules at stations (This seems more necessary given the Engineers update).

Well I've not really tried out much in terms of the new engineers / missions content but there's a massive improvement with planetary visuals and frame rate. Getting a steady 60 fps (GTX 770 4GB) on planetary surfaces with Terrain Quality and Terrain Materials Quality both on ultra. I've only landed on 2 planets but looking very good so far.
Have you scrolled down the list?

Picked a. Will take a while. There is plenty of time for playing on Saturday and Sunday.
Thank you Frontier. The list of changes and new features is massive. From what i have seen by throwing a short look, it seems, that you have really done a job in this update. Will continue to read now and looking forward to fly a round or twentyfive
