I was unable to find an option to toggle this on/off.
Also, I noticed the Asp cockpit still has got those holographic lights on it, whereas the Keelback does not. Surely there can be a bit of parity added to solve the Asp issue.
gotta love these changelogs, they're full of hidden pearls.
keep it up, and keep posting them!

I don't mean to insult your intelligence but I was told in the 2.1 Beta discussion that it hasn't. Do you have pics?
I'm sad that there isn't any mention of making Thermal Shock and Heat Effects respect thermal resistance. I have a video here where I'm completely unable to counter Thermal Shock with 103.9% thermal resistance on a Python's hull.
I really hope this is addressed. Looking forward to testing the torp changes as they have become a required part of my Python build now. I am worried that a 2.5s timer is going to be entirely too much but we'll see now that they inherit the speed of the firing ship, so thanks for that.
The video in question:

very constructive post for a mod...
I suppose you think FDev lie?
Anyway, it's very easy: It works exactly like it did in 2.0 & before, which is that you click on the current route type, and it deselects it (leaving it active but not visible).
Yeah, that ones very useful.

Perhaps. But when people make absoloute statements about what other players think, which are not correct, I think it deserves a little ribbing.
I, for one, want to see the RNG buffed. Get rid of metas, get rid of minmax. If some do it, that forces all who come in also to do so in order not to be slaughtered. That is unfun, that is BORING. More randomness, more variety, more uncertainty, please. Make it so that there IS NO "best build", just builds that generally work better in some circumstances, until the fella w/ something sneaky and unexpected comes along. Will pay additional real cash -happily- to see that realized, and I'm no rich guy.
In the end, I suspect they will have no choice but to give us the option to reject special effects (whilst retaining the upgraded module), as it is the one thing that the majority of the community (RNG haters & lovers alike) agree with in respect to Engineers.
I also think a solution lies in having delayed upgrades that you have to come back & pick up when done, so that people aren't *seeing* the random element at work in any shape or form.

Which again highlights that these issues with *controlled* randomness has more to do with the psychology of the player than any problem with the game mechanic itself. I myself made 6 upgrades to my Cobra MkIII, & I only rejected one of them becausr I thought I could get the weight of the module down a bit more. I personally love it overall....even if I think it could use some minor tweaks.
Hi If any of you are getting the failed response from server error try selecting the alternative download method.
I have started reading the Lost Fleet books again by Jack Campbell. I read them 3 years ago before Elite Dangerous
and thought at the time, wouldn't it be amazing to take part in these big space battles. Trying to get home though enemy Territory.
Reading the first one now and can think I have been there in Elite Dangerous. Give this game time it will be epic like JC's Lost Fleet.
Download working now. yes not long. will see you out there maybe.
have a good one

It's my understanding that thermal resistance refers to resistance against damage from thermal type weapons, not against heat itself. It may be a case of confusing double-meaning for the term "thermal", but I think the damage types would be best thought of as "energy" meaning lasers and plasmas, kinetic for shells (MC/cannons) and explosive for missles, mines, torps.
The thermal shock effects are using heat as another influence which is like a DOT effect - inputting heat results in module damage over time. I'm not sure if lasers have always added some small measure of this or if 2.1 is the first time we're actually seeing it as a weapon effect, but so far in 2.0 and prior the only way heat damaged me was if my own weapons/systems generated it.
Thus adding thermal resistance to your ships hull/shields would increase their resistance to laser/energy weapon damage types but not block the heat transfer effects. Perhaps a dev can confirm or deny this?

So I quit the desktop launcher then, unchecked the alternative download. the Upgrade Box for engineers beta was replaced by PLAY. It had upgraded.
ok now lets hit the slots.

Aww, and here I was imagining an entire population of gypsy like folk roaming around their star system in a mismatched assortment of ships, complete with cobbled together fixes for the inevitable breakages.
I thought that Moses had reincarnated and led these poor souls there.
