Well that removes all the tension ;-)

Looking forward to giving the beta a go.

didnt expect that so early in the day, i take my hat off to you fd o7

- Shield resistance to heat-imparting attacks increased, and active shield will now block 50% of the effect of thermal shock weapons, up from 25%.

And what about Thermal Cascade?

 

[Cynaqq]

Hahaha

'Mysterious things added' may have killed me, I can't breathe!

 

[xyphic]

Wow, that's quite the change log. Going to be a loooong day...

 

[hairychris]

Nice! Will probably not play with the beta this time but looking forward to these updates in the main game.

 

[Manfriest]

"Mysterious things added"

 

[Sabier]

Great! I was thinking I would have to wait until tomorrow for the beta! (it's 21:30 in New Zealand, where I live)

Although... not complaining, or anything... but at 0.10 MB/s download speed I may have to wait until tomorrow anyway. I guess this is normal? Or... is it? (I usually download the betas and patches on the day after release)

 

[Alec Turner]

Holy changelog batman!

edit: rats ... ninja'd by the Maynard!

 

[Marc_Hicks]

So still no major changes to Power Play? Also, aside from Passenger Missions, are there no new mission templates? Don't get me wrong, there is a *huge* amount of stuff in this update, but I was hoping to see more Mission Templates and the long hinted at Power Play Overhaul in 2.2.

 

[Cmdr Spencer Renton]

That's a lot of changes. Cant wait to start the bug hunt. lol Great job Dev's.

 

[Mark Allen]

And what about Thermal Cascade?

Poor choice of words on my part there , that change affects all heat attacks, Cascade included.

 

[SirDavros]

You lucky sods that aren't at work. As soon as I saw "mysterious things" I suddenly had the urge to go home!

 

[Kyokushin]

Poor choice of words on my part there , that change affects all heat attacks, Cascade included.

Thanx Mark!

(4 hours left in work... i cant wait get home )

 

[Titus Balls]

- Added Persephone (Planet Nine), Haumea, Makemake, Eris, Orcus, 2002 MS4, Salacia, Quaoar, 2007 OR10 and Sedna to Sol

Oh wait what?!?! Are these visible now?

It was never hinted coming in 2.2. It was hinted to be coming this Season. This season is not over yet.

Awesome!

Now if only i could get a download speed higher than 0.10MB/s on my 200Mb line!

Everyone else get off the FD servers, I'll let you know when my download is complete

 

[Michael Brookes]

They are present in the game, if that's what you mean?
