My favourite part of the patch notes?
- Xbox One: Fix for rumble happening on "other" landing pads
The amount of times I've docked at a station and set my controller beside me as I do something on my phone. One time the rumble was so bad i jumped out my chair =D

Some changes come through a day or two before we compile the update into a patch for everyone. Which ultimately wouldn't be much help for advance notice except to forum goers.
Cool,
Fixed softlock when quickly selecting refuel/repair/restock after opening station services
^This - finally no refule button getting stuck I hope.
Permit Missions should now give a permit
^Time to rank up with Alioth Independents again for me. Yeah.
When determining the rank of NPC ships for interdiction, use the player's combat rank, rather than their highest PF rank, although add 1 rank if their trade or exploration rank is higher than their combat rank
^ Like this - a little easier for traders and explorers than we have now. Unless they are/were bounty hunters in their spare time!!!! Good next step in tweaking the AI in my opinion though.

Did they look at assissination missions that require a suicide run to a data beacon on a heavily defended base?
It seems to me that "pimping my ride" through lvl 4 is already the hardest part of the "grind". Why can´t it simply cost 100 million credits?
I certainly hope so for the first one. As someone who isn't a fan of weapon upgrades, it'd be nice to have the favour mechanic as a means of say, making an armoured power plant a bit lighter, or adding a little extra boost to the optimal mass for the extended range FSD.
As for 2, I look forward to seeing how future changes pan out!
fantastic

You are then restricting it to the super rich. I have 16 million credits, my balance has never been over 50 mill, but I could get my engineer reputation up to level 5.
That wasn't my experience when I was testing it in the early beta phase. Crafting, though not one to one, was quite a slow way to gain reputation.
Great job! Thanks for all the hard work!
I have to smile at some of the posts on the patch updates threads. The update isn't even out yet and already there are complaints.
There just isn't any pleasing some people.
Game development is very hard and fixes take time. Not only that but the bugs are rated by importance to the game, not to the person submitting the bug, and then also prioritised by the time it is likely to take to fix. Work then starts on the top items on the list and the list is reviewed constantly moving items up and down as necessary.
At least that's how it goes in most software development and I'm certain the FDev are no different.
So, the fixes are coming, just look at today's list and realise how hard the developers are working.
Be patient.
I know you want everything right now, especially that bug that is really bothering you, but that isn't going to happen.
@FDev - Many thanks for your hard work, I wouldn't want to be in your place even though I develop software for a living!

A lot of people that were complaining are already pleased and said it (me included), but yea there will always be a few left no matter what.

Of course they would - why should a particular system change just because the player has more time in the game? However, the game may opt not to send ships of low "power" against a player at all.
I would agree - ship type should possibly make some system's NPCs just not bother attempting to annoy a player. I was not advocating that mission rank should be ignored at all - if a player takes on an Elite mission, the game should treat them as if they are capable of handling an Elite mission.
Not deconstructing risk, in my opinion, consistency of the NPC response in a particular system - why should a system become "harder" just because a player has played the game for a while? Moving to more dangerous areas and taking on more challenging missions would still be available.
My only concern re this is the way that NPCs are tailored by rank to our combat rating. I really like the improved AI and increased challenge and jeopardy in game but it seems a little off that I'll now only be interdicted by Elite ships. Thats all thats been interdicting me since 2.1 was released and it just strikes me as a weird way to do this. Its like a difficultly level based upon how long we've been playing rather than where we might be going etc..
