Patch Notes Update Update 2.3.10

[[VR] Mad Mike]

No. It means that that item was put under the wrong heading in the patch notes. It appeared under the "SRV" heading in the beta patch notes and has nothing to do with MC.

really....? FGS, that sucks....

i was having daydreams of a wing of 3, SRV, SLF and main ship doing a raid on a large base

You will be assimilated

We've been waiting as patiently as KGB sleepers waiting for the code phrase.

We are PS4. We are legion.

Oooh! Operation Dismantle Old PC Chair/Clean The Study/Install New PC Chair/Go Shopping will be advanced 24 hours - I think I'll rename it Operation Real Life instead. Now, where did I put that damned screwdriver...

You left it with your Holo-Me, so there' naught you can do until the servers come back...

 

[MarkAusten]

hope you are fixing the crazy thing it behaves like a demented chicken.

It only behaves like that if you try to use it outside of its operating envelope. It's fine when I use it.

Not exactly. The Colonia factions are part of the rewards for participating in the Colonia Migration community goals. They are a community goal reward just like credit rewards from participating in other CGs.

The Bubble factions are giveaways but have to be researched to make sure they don't overlap existing player minor factions, conflict with the existing government types in the desired system or otherwise conflict with existing lore.

The big difference is that, where Colonia is concerned, we're talking about populating previously colonized systems where none of these conflicts exist. The Colonia factions also did not get their choice of system. Frontier Developments did.

Comparing the Colonia factions to the Bubble PMFs is like comparing apples to oranges.

i dont know about the other guys who are complaining but according to brett my minor faction has already been approved to be placed in but they wont put it in. the only difference between the colonians and my pmf is that they had to do a cg. i dont need to do a cg cause its not required for bubble pmfs

2 hours down, 6+ to go. Then another hour to install the update.

You forgot a very important phrase in that statement, 'if all goes well'!

Ok what you write is certainly right, but do not you think that 3 months wait is enough and that people are tired of waiting ???? I just want to understand and not criticize for nothing !!

 

[MarkAusten]

we arent that important to fdev apparently

Or there are more important things than this as far as FD are concerned. You are probably still important to FD.

Maybe.

if there are more important things why do the colonians get there minor faction

Well ... that's not quite the ONLY difference. Bubble PMFs have to be inserted in place of an existing NPC minor faction. There's all kinds of BGS stuff to consider in how that new PMF will effect the existing factions in the desired system. I obviously don't know all the details behind this but inserting a faction into Colonia would be comparatively easy as you're building that systems BGS from the ground up instead of manually manipulating an existing BGS.

Don't get me wrong: I totally understand the frustration from having to wait months (our group earned it's position in Colonia back in April and we're only now, at the end of June, finally getting it).

Hope you guys get yours soon.

my dyslexic brain keeps skipping an important word and my heart kept skipping important beats with every re-read.

Multi-Crew

Fix to allow the Helm access to turret mode options when they do not have a Gunner in their Multi-Crew session

Talk about seeing what you *Want* to see

Good luck with your faction

 

[Ryan Murdoc]

Let's just hope they don't drive the BGS against the wall as they did with 2.3. There's still issues to deal with as aftermath from that .

 

[aymerix]

Cool. Thank you.
Something about the API update for third devs' ?

 

[Fost]

As in, it's in the hands of engineering and design teams to add them all in one by one now. There's a ton of updates to get passed into the game at this point in time regarding minor factions. I think today or tomorrow (depending if i get an updated sheet), i will be able to post a list of rejections and approvals.

Glad to hear some movement at last! Thanks Brett.

 

[millstonebarn]

Can you explain this? Because as far as I'm concerned, you can't use SRV while on Multicrew.

If I were to guess (and I am) it think it means "Board Ship" is not available until you drop some cargo.

 

[Chrizaim]

Happy days new shiny things whoop!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, I wonder if this fixes my finger launch crash due to network disagreement vs local on number of fighters available

 

[Warflower]

Celestial

• More factions have joined the Colonia region of space

Is there a list of factions joining along with their locations?

 

[stormyuk]

2.3.10 is today.

PS4 launch as far as i am aware hasn't changed on date. I am unsure at the moment on the patch cycle for PlayStation4.

Not quite sure what that means, do we have 2 patches tomorrow on PS4? The "original" day one patch (which appears to add the Pro options, as the disc users currently don't seen the Quality /Performance option and other stuff) and 2.3.10?

Or is it all one patch?

Thanks.

 

[t.o.mosh]

Good point.

All my ships are showing as being in the Pemoeri system. Which I moved out of about 2 months ago.

If it's not fixed in 2.3.10, maybe it's a 2.4 fix...?

As a workaround you could enter each ship. On entering/storing the other ship its location is updated on the map.
