Patch Notes Update Update 3.3.05
- Thread starter Will Flanagan
- Start date
There are always notifications before the big updates. The small patches just dont get them because well there small.
Now youve ruined everything lol
Stop jinxing things for the people who haven't downloaded the update yet.
It's good that a quick fix is brought out when it's possible to do so. Thanks to FD for this.
It's not so good that so little priority seems to be being given to a huge list of immersion breakers and other bits and bobs of simply crappy design.
Especially when the community here has taken the trouble to document them in great detail.
As in this thread on immersion breakers.
I plan to continue linking that thread for as long as FD appear to be doing nothing about what's on that list.
The community here is probably the most passionate group of potential evangelists for the game in existence. We complain about the game's shortcomings, not because we like to complain, but because we love the game.
The loudest complainers would become the loudest evangelists for the game if there was genuine evidence that it was on the road to becoming what it could be.

The word you were looking for is 'YEARS'.

Eh?
Very glad to see Frontier move so speedily on this issue. I was afraid it would become just another lingering bug.
Indeed, playing over a cellular network!
5 minutes !! ... what will I do with myself
I would not do what your thinking of....... that will still leave you with 4 mins and 59 seconds!
Haven’t crashed from SC myself. Mostly I crash when entering SC or changing instance. Is it the same bug or no? Good to see bug fixes either way.
I'll assume you meant "what is a BGS" ...
Background Simulation - this is the process that keeps track of the economy and political status of the inhabited galaxy - i.e. the reasons that prices are different in different systems, that some are at war and so on. These affect the missions that are available and the types of NPC that will be found in each system. Lots of the activity that drives these changes is down to the modelled behaviour of the population that live in a system, but the actions of players themselves count very strongly in driving changes to the BGS.
The big question is always related to "what does a player/group of players have to do in order to make a change to the BGS state of a system?". The answer is often unclear, and Frontier seem to change the rules from time to time. There is a lot of discussion and experimentation on this topic, and you're right, this isn't the best place to discuss it in detail
Frontier always in front line.
As usual.
