Yes its very handy, got lots of HGE uss's.

Some of us are just wondering why there's the need for different keys to get it on and off ?

I'm getting constant disconnects "cannot connect to adjunct server". Ugh.

Cdr Voorheez · Oct 30, 2018

Been downloading for the last 2 hrs. I'm about 70% there.

Some little things I like from the Patch Notes

Hello Commanders,

Please find the beta patch notes for the first week of beta.

Bug Fixes and Improvements

Anaconda

Fixed size3 hardpoint doors getting in the way of the size4 hardpoint

Ah-HA. At last!

AI

Fixed NPC ships charging FSD with weapons still active

Ensure the 'Terrorist' archetype always comes with a bounty

Fixed NPC having no FSD cooldown after being interdicted

Destroying an NPC power plant now takes the ship down to 40% power (inline with player ship behaviour)

[up]

Cockpit UI

Ensure completed and finished community goals are cleared from the transaction tab

[up]

Missions

Stop missions requesting cargo that it views as illegal (Federal mission asking for imperial slaves, for example)

Oh hey, I remember that! [up]

If the servers are choking now, can't image what it'll be like on release day!

Well, I suspect the beta servers aren't the high-end hardware ones, while (hopefully) the live servers are.

Got kicked out of the beta twice. I wish I could send some pizza and chamomile tea to FDev...

BigBANGtheory [VR] · Oct 30, 2018

"Added new things to find!"

Is what Chapter 4 all hinges on now, if that is good we're sorted.

Twice, made one jump to Jameson and got kicked five times in the effort.
Managed to dock and select the asp-x and not been able to connect since.

edServer: Error 403 from webserver: "Down for maintenance"

Went into "patch notes and server status" and it didn't say anything... This sucks. so excited to play and this is the worst connectivity beta I've ever played

Humbo · Oct 30, 2018

Yep the disconnects are pretty bad.
You can see a fair bit of the new stuff in the training missions and challenges.

hs0003 · Oct 30, 2018

No shock cannon ammo buffs, damn.

hello!
I can not target surface scanner with mouse moves. Am I missing some controls set up or a bug?

Hi Will,

Thanks for the patch notes and kudos to the entire team for a huge and (by the looks of things) excellent update. Damn but that looks like a pretty impressive list of fixes quite apart from all the newly added functionality!

Had a brief play with the beta and while there are some teething issues (to be expected), I'm looking forward to trying it all out in more detail to provide some more comprehensive feedback.

Hope the team are on their toes and fully fuelled-up with coffee, donuts, coke, and pizza! They'll be extra-busy for the next few weeks!

Cheers,
- Micha.

You mean firing probes? It's a known issue, control binds for this are under "Multi Crew".

senray · Oct 31, 2018

Is there a manual for exploration in Ch. 4? I get the FSS, but I can't figure out/find a guide for the DSS/probes or any idea about what the short range composition scanner is.

Tikanderoga · Oct 31, 2018

Enjoyed reading the patch notes, got a few questions though:
- delivery Wing Mission payout increased - by how much?
- Massacre mission target reduced - by how much? Already a big thank you though.

They also mentioned we'd get like an SC boost or something, so we don't have to fly for ages to get to distant planets -has this been implemented?

Thank you, this helped a lot.
