Mission Boards - What the hell did you do???

[Deleted member 182079]

Am really starting to think maybe it's time to give this game a break for a while.


















Ah, who am I kidding.

 

[Navigare Necesse Est]

I did nuffin.

 

[Midian Cabal]

Wait. They forced a patch with a bug? Am I reading this correctly?

Drastic times call for drastic measures.

 

[Hanerib]

So did you donate 40 million credits?

 

[Red Anders]

This makes the one where the 'fix' for passenger mission payments being too high was to make the mission board crap the bed if you tried to accept a passenger mission paying over 50 million look like an elegant engineering solution.

I appreciate that it's undoubtedly better to have the board accessible so that people can actually accept missions they want to take but considering the original update wasn't supposed to make any changes to mission boards to begin with, the overriding question I'm left with is 'just what the hell does the codebase for this game actually look like?!?' The mental picture I have is a vast barrel of spaghetti

This ^^^

The probable alternative was to leave the mission boards borked during the weekend, until they have time to concoct a proper fix sometime next month.

Best launch and get out before your ship gets impounded.

"Now, about that donation we politely asked you for..."

Game breaking bug. 500 seat passenger missions to the same system for same station that is selling them. instant 20 million exploit

If you can create a build that ships 500 passengers?

 

[Maro-Val]

Always wanted to ask you; is that guy bottle feeding an upside down white shark?

Oh yes! As mentioned, is from Anchorman 2
Best avatar on the internet. Took me 10 minutes to fix it lol.

 

[jellowiggler]

There are also passenger missions with impossible amounts of passengers, who have the same start as the destination.

Come on fdev. Where it the testing before patching? This is still hangover from Sept update. Sept patch, a few rounds of hotfixes and we are still introducing new bugs. What is happening to my beautiful Elite?

 

[jellowiggler]

So this is part of the 'fix' they introduced

This fix was brought to you by Duct Tape & Chicken Wire Solutions

Red Green software house!

FDev need to back Rockforth fertilisers for these missions

 

[Urbanski101]

I'm actually wondering how long they will leave this workaround in there.

My guess is this will be the 'solution' and become part of the legacy of ED and will need to be explained to bemused new players / returning players on the forum for all eternity

 

[IndigoWyrd]

This is what you get for asking for the Blue Store Link to be changed to Vomit Orange.

Speak for yourself - I'm sailing in a Color Cruise this weekend.

Take your phone - you can use that to tell the threads why they can't take those missions. Maybe we should just point then straight to the issue tracker

Just logged back in after the server reboot, I'm docked at Ekono. Almost every faction is offering a donation mission. Ok that's a bit odd, but not too strange I guess. However, rather than the maximum of 1,000,000 they normally ask for (I'm Elite), they are all asking for 40,000,000!!!! and what do you get in return... 2 stars of influence and reputation!
Holy hell, what did you do FDev??

They are giving us the chance to redeem ourselves from the fertilizer scandal!

Almost slipping into a comedy farce.

What am I saying it way past that now ...
