Player Groups and Minor Factions - General Discussion

Thread Closed: Not open for further replies.
Just did a review of the application, and this one appears to be rejected by error. A previous application in 2017 (which was marked as approved but never added [as far as i can see] for some reason) caused the error.

I have revoked the previous item denoting Approved, and have placed the newest addition into its place for addition on the next batch addition. Looking to be 3.1 or so.

This makes me wonder if ours was rejected for some odd reason as we (Lucky Rocket Privateers) really don't think we broke any Elite Lore (as far as we can tell) in our submission and others are reporting similar odd rejection (i.e. wrong name of PMF).

Check your PM's real quick - there's a minor portion to it that I can change so it can be marked for addition.
 
Hi Brett - thanks for these updates

So the factions that made it past the rejections posted the other day, when will they get processed further and then find out if they will be added? Did you say there's another process to run ref govt type?

Not seeing any Player Minor Faction applications named 'Starfield'.

If it's a player group, it can be assumed it's an auto accept.

Thanks!
It was just a player group, we're still working on a PMF application and didn't submit it yet, thinking we needed some sort of greenlight for the group application beforehand.
Anyway, I assumed this group application thing led to the possibility of having a private group in-game (by the name of our group) instead of sharing one of our member's personal group, but couldn't find any information about that. Am I wrong or is it a whole different process?
Again, thanks for your time.

Right now, we're looking at the 3.1 release for the additions. However, when engineering runs their script for Government checks and so forth, it may/possibly result in additional rejections.

Copy that, thanks will keep our fingers crossed!

I can help you clarify this one.

So far, the game only creates Private Groups with the player's name.

Player Groups have nothing to do with "Private Groups" in the game.
 
So, as a quick update, our Elite Dangerous Dev team for the better part of today and tomorrow are/have-been in the process of moving to the new building. So unfortunate to say, slight delay.


Van R Flyheight, I will review what may have happened on the sheet. Will attempt to get it resolved before our team pushes the changes to our local servers for QA to further test.

Whoa whoa there, pushing changes to QA? Does that mean the scripts have run and you guys are testing injections? Or is QA managing the final accept/reject scripts?
 
Hey Brett!

What is going on with "Linguistic Alchemy"? It was approved as "pending" on 9/30/17, but was never added during or after the 10/30/17 additions. Did I get ninja ejected? Or are we on the list for the near future?

Thanks

QA in the PMF addition process generally will validate the following (apart from a few other things... 1) did the PMF get added properly, 2) did it cause things to explode in bad ways (BGS does weird things when things are added wrongly), 3) did the description get added as per the master sheet, 4) is content populating to the PMF. They generally do the final checks on our internal servers before throwing it to PTS or live... or both.

Coolio! Thanks for the info & quick reply!

Hi Brett, Could you tell me if THE EAST CIRCINI COMPANY is in this batch? If the system is still to be looked at it means we can do BGS and get the 7th faction kicked out, hopefully in time for the engineering running the script.... Knowing this would solve what i beleive is our only problem? Also a timeline on when the script will be run?? :p

It was rejected on Aug 6 2017 for an invalid Group Name.

The December 21 2017 application is still awaiting / pending addition, does not show as rejected.

You should end up in Beta Circini.

That's a very specific update. :p

If you're answering requests would it be possible for you to check the PMF status for "Allied Imperial Coalition"?
