Along with Basic Conductors
Chemical Storage Units
Compact Composities
Crystal Shards
Galvanised Alloys
Heat Resistant Ceramics
Tempered Alloys
Unknown Fragments
You can also dump some Data
Aberrant Shield Pattern Anaylisis ..... Needed for The Sarge ONLY
Adaptive Encryption Capture
Atypical Encryption Archives
Decoded Emissions Data ..... Needed for Tiana Fortune ONLY
Peculiar Shield Frequency Data
Unidentified Scan Arcives
I imagine it's not so much the size of the patch or the number of issues it fixes but the time it takes to offline each server, rebuild and redeploy, it restart and test it, then get all servers spun up and ready to accept client connections. Hundreds of thousands of players connect concurrently which takes a fair whack of processing power and bandwidth that has to all work together.
Air Traffic Controllers on an Airless moon? hmmmmm. Suspicious.

If what i see is correct, mostly stability fixes for missions (disconnects, response time issues).

For sure at the spot where the big money comes from. Seems like this is not europe.
People from europe, buy more stuff!!! Still the question. 5 hours. Is that normal?
I was all ways having a server disconnect every half an hour it was frustrating so after a bit of resurch I found that changing the DNS setting on the ps4 could help. What did I have to lose? Right. Since then I hardly get a connection loss. I'm based in the UK and my IPS is bt
Lately it's been more like 8 hours, so you WIN 3 hours [up]
I've just started reading around this solution - oh my god the amount of shouts of 'snake oil!' there are around it. Point is, though: if it works, it works.
I'm betting the PS4 does something weird with its DNS requests when on auto which fouls up the geo-load balancing or something. Like the first time I enabled Chrome mobile's 'Data Saver' feature and immediately started getting US-targeted web pages
Anyway... drums fingers on desk, waiting impatiently for 5 hours to be up hopefully in 30 minutes because it's not fair!
Sulks... had the morning off to play Elite Dangerous! Good job I have the afternoon off too!

thinking back, as someone who've used to help with NPCs in an mmorpg, Yeah. if there's been new quest tweeks and some other "under the hood" changes to make sure they run better, you will have to actively kick everyone off. After that, you start the server in "offline mode" and personally check the nps, both in game and through the code's spaghetti to make sure it all links up. One time we went from a 4 hour maint to 10 hours as some NPCs wouldn't stop breaking the server.
So we're saying BT DNS is b0rked, and I switched from using Virgin DNS a while back as it was b0rked. Seems brit companies aren't good at DNS - lucky we have google.
According to Inara these
Basic Conductors
Chemical Storage Units
Compact Composites
Crystal Shards
Filament Composites
Heat Resistant Ceramics
Tempered Alloys
are the very common and common ones not tied to a blueprint at present. You might also include Unidentified Scan Archives as well, Common data not currently being used.
Peculiar Shield Frequency Data would be another one, but it is classed as Very Rare, while Polonium and Yttrium, elements not used in blueprints, are reserved for synthesis recipes.
And then there are all the Thargoid and Guardian materials and data.
I don't know if it is safe to dump these. Who knows what else 2.3.11 may bring?
Devastated! PC version down as well!!
As well as what? You are aware that the game clients all share the same universe, riiiiight?
