Notice April Update - Known Issues (24/04/2019)
- Thread starter Will Flanagan
- Start date
@picommander -- There are two types of ground installations that feature in Planetary Scan Jobs that have no security/trespass zone. One is labeled a Building and the other an Outpost. In both cases the Data Points are Public and need no security. This is of four types of installation used by PSJs; the other two do have Private DPs and Trespass Zones as well as other security like Skimmers or Defence Turrets.
So the training isn't in error, it just doesn't (and could not) cover all situations. Experience is the best teacher anyway.

@Will Flanagan the DSS mapping bug is not fixed. i was mapping this body on the right and i literally saw the other body next to it getting mapped too. well at least on the hud.

Wow. Look at all the code writers.
Maybe Frontier should hire them?

Well, be glad the guys who wrote the Viper's software were not game programmers or 'enthusiasts'. But this is true: both fighter jets and software project leads constantly have to work against gravity. So better not be at places like Ceres Tarn
O7,

Just move from the message tab back to the leftmost tab before you close close the comms panel and you will have your keyboard back.
Wanted to write the same! Filling, and unloading my T9 now takes AGES after the update! This change should be easy?
There is no mouse on PS4.....it does not speed up....
If you are reading a mission msg and an FSDI occurs the com closes- locking the keyboard.
I have seen these bug ridden episodes in another game. Not saying its the same, but....
They used older versions of the game to make changes, this reintroduced old bugs back into the current version. Old BGSO players will know what I'm on about. I really hope I'm wrong.

Seeing worlds showing graphically as mapped when they aren't. Thought that was fixed.
These known issues are only scratching the surface of bugs that occurred as a result of this last update, and you still have old bugs to work out. You need more QA staff, the current amount is not enough. How about the fact that all canopies are made of paper now? When will that be fixed?
When will launching the game from the steam launcher be fixed?
There is a update for steam do that then restart and it will work.
It didn't work.
@picommander -- I never said PSJs are the full gamut of planetary installation missions, just that they feature installations with no trespass zones. Frequency of this happening is inconsequential. Discovering how to deal with security setups is the fun part, and need not be a threat at all. Doing PSJs in ships is just silly, scanning the DPs is simpler in an SRV, faster if you know your business, and safer than a ship because you can completely avoid any deadly threat without firing a shot. Skimmers at Buildings are cannon fodder and even a new Commander should have no difficulty with them if they use a little common sense. Outposts with Defence Turrets can be stealth-scanned very easily with just a little attention to the layout of the installations. Since the 4 types never vary, it doesn't take long to recognize them from the air and respond accordingly.
For other kinds of planetary missions involving installations, there are no doubt differing strategies, but learning the basics is just that -- basic. Leave the Commanders to learn and figure out their own strategies, it boosts the feeling of accomplishment. There was no training for planetary missions when I started ED, yet I've never lost a ship to one of them and they have been a mainstay of my income since I could afford a ship that can carry the SRV. Some were real hoots simply because landing on the planet was a major chore (e.g., Mitterand Hollow) -- can't train for that, just gotta try it.
