ANNOUNCEMENT September Update out now!
you know what, programming at this level is not an easy task. (been there with several years of software development behind me) If you have teams of developers and terabytes of data that need to be organised along with deadlines then you really need structured code & data control systems. Either there's a type of SCCS in operation where it's not taken seriously or its being used ineffectively...... either way, Fdev need to prioritise, bang some heads together, and get professional about complex software development.
I did so, but it still doesn't want to work. Is there some other issue that I have to adress?
In rude health means "very healthy" - it's not a negative thing.
Skins are definitely appearing and disappearing. I wouldn't worry too much about it for the moment. Yesterday the SRV had a full set from basic to the big shiny ones. Today there was nothing available. Nor for the Python, Krait, Type-7, Cobra, Imperial Fighter.
I do wish Frontier would have public beta tests of ALL patches that involve changes to the game client, would have certainly helped mitigate most (if not all) of the "known issues" plaguing the current patch (especially those that have rendered the game totally unplayable for a lot of players).
It is extremely obviuos that "internal testing" does not, or is unable to, find large errors.

You may be right. The game is not dead. But by late 2020 many of it's players will be...
That's why we pay them to do it. And, do it right.
I've had a look through the FAQ's at the start of this thread but can't see a definite answer.
In the past I've looked through the store online here: https://dlc.elitedangerous.com/products/ then bought items, sometimes for ships I'm yet to own - the link is now not working.
I understand that you can buy stuff in-game but will this link be working again? - apparently there are a whole bunch of new paintjobs (even for the cobra MK IV) so is there a place outside the game that these can be seen?

NO, i believe everything is now to be purchased from within the game.
First you have to purchase or earn "ARX", then use that to buy from the store.
The 400 cap weekly is rubbish, the price of rubbish paintjobs that are basic as and are only a collor change are not worth a week's worth of my time. For it to be worth the whole pack should be sold to the pirce of the individual skins. It's already outrageous to have to wait a week to be able to bye a single basic paintjob for ONE ING SHIP! Ridiculous, I already ing paid for the game and while in return all the money that's being made with microtransactions have no return to the game, anything takes years to be implemented in the game, making the game stale, boring, meaningless, devoid of anything engaging to do. UP YOUR STANDARDS AND FIX YOUR GAME FRONTIER, AND STOP TRYING TO MILK THE LAST DIME OUT OF US!!!
Harness that anger Cmdr, then kill some Thargoids with it
Being given 400 Arx for doing exactly the same things you did before the Sept update is something to thank Frontier for is it not?
Choosing to attain the weekly Arx limit is a Cmdr's choice, as is buying a paint job with real-world currency. Doing the former might save you some of the latter (that was not an option before this update).
Enjoy the black Cmdrs.
I already have over 400 arx in just a couple of days of doing whatever I would normally do anyway ... should I spend them before my surplus is taken away from me :O

Okay, this is even weirder. Both of my ships were using the Victor COVAS. The one I had active when the update hit has been defaulted back to one of the two free COVAS options, and Victor is no longer even an option to buy in the store. However, I just switched to the ship that I had in storage at the time, and it's still using Victor.
I had a similar issue. You find the Victor one again by clicking on Verity, and he shows up as a second option ...

I really get frustrated with people who always assume that because there is a bug in the game that QA didn't spot it. As a software tester myself I can tell you that they more than likely did.
I think the best thing about this update for me is "Fixed an issue where the SRVs weapon were firing slightly offset when used from the driver's seat". It's so nice when collecting materials now that I don't have to go into Turret view every single time I want to shoot one of the materials. Thanks for finally fixing this!

And Frontier left in bugs that break the game? Can't engineer, can't mine?
I'm all for assuming the best in people, but if QA did notice these then whoever decided they didn't matter is completely incompetent.
Sure, there's going to be hundreds of bugs in every release that don't get fixed for one reason or another, the offset SRV shooting is probably one of them, but these two are not.
ok, some bugs can really be difficult to consider on the test, this is understandable. however, those bugs that arose after installing the September update are so obvious and serious that if they had conducted internal testing they would have found them 100% but since all this surfaced on the release, it means there wasn’t even any internal test. in fact, now all the players have become beta testers, and this would not have caused such a wave of anger and indignation if the "beta" icon now hung on this patch.
as for me personally, I was convinced that fdev cannot but screw up. they like to mess and do it with enviable regularity, because I am looking forward to the December update with interest, I want to find out exactly how they screw it up there.
