Nice one, lots of fixes!

* Fix cabin escape pods not always being used when passengers eject

Interesting. So cabins actually have some sort of their own escape pods.

I will try a reload and test again.

Can confirm that all audio for discovery scanner has gone AWOL. Also did a reboot, no change.

More specifically; "Added new ship naming popup in livery".

Does this mean players will get basic font for/and ship naming in the Livery without having to pay for it when it goes live? A mate of mine said that if basic ship naming isn't provided for free (no fancy stuff, just basic font and ship naming on the hull), then he will not be making any further purchases in the Frontier store, nor will he be buying the next expansion (whenever that is after 2.4) - I do agree with him myself, and would also boycott any further purchases if this isn't the case.

No wish to belittle your opinion, clearly it matters to you, but your ship name not showing up on your ship seems like such as small thing for you to never support the game again. Happy to take a bashing over this - maybe that would make me understand.

Just an innocent question: Over how many iterations does the stupid 45% srv fuel (display) bug persist for now?
I mean it's just a minor display bug but really so minor to never get fixed at all?
One of the reasons I stopped beta testing. It's too frustrating to care about all the formalities on bug reporting only to see them ignored in the end.

+1 ... yes, really frustrating!

I totally agree, the patch fixing policies are FDev are really frustrating, there are so many known bugs in the game for a long time, and as long as they are not totally game breaking, mostly ignored :(

You are right, it does seem excessive for such a small thing that we haven't had up until now anyway.
