This Game Is Lame Now...
ANNOUNCEMENT Fleet Carriers Update - Patch 3
Oh my... my carrier is about 6-7000 LY away and if tritium mining has been nerfed then it's a huge problem for me and many many others.
I wasn't able to play for the past two weeks (and won't be able to do so in the next one) but my carrier is happily draining my account anyway. And even if I could play I wouldn't be able to move my carrier WITHOUT tritium.
I could decomission my carrier but I have no idea where all my ships will end up and I'm not even sure if this feature is working correctly. And I am not willing to test it on my carrier.
Things do not look well for FDev and upcoming Odyssey. If this is how you want to encourage people to buy it then I suggest you reconsider your plan.
PS: Oh yes, whatever happened to "postponing FCs in order to fix bugs" initiative? You fixed a few bugs here and there and then you create even more?
I very much regret the ARX I bought for my FC now and once again I will be very careful what I spend my money on.

Yep just experienced this too, on two separate asteroids I think Void Opals too
Don't do SSD before. Just crack rock. Doing ssd + crack = bug.
Totally agree with you. For the moment, leave it where it is and/or suspend all services. This will mitigate the
As for ARX, I truly am ashamed to have been so impulsive! I should have waited before buying ARX to buy FC liveries.
Learned my lesson, won't make the same mistake ever.
Thanks, will just do crack now. Same as the devs lol
No no! first you open your eyes. then you turn on the light. than you take that brownish fluid and a towel...
Cool patch, now please only resolve issues below:
Mining broke - Abrasionblaster does not work: surface deposit won't break off
Mining hotspot contains huge amounts of nothing of value

Removed Odyssey from my steam wishlist after patch 2, in the hope that some popularity counter somewhere is decreasing for Frontier (doubtful, but still...)
My humble way to protest against the handling of this situation by Frontier.

Good idea, I just did the same.
After a month and a half in 2015, you may have gotten to a T7, if you were lucky.
Their crack pipes must be hot to the touch tonight...
Just done the same myself Wish removed from steam. If they cannot get a patch right how can the get the next expansion right

They should patch the game so it makes fun for the 15.000 players which play it.. They patched it now in a way that it does not make fun anymore.. So why should I buy again any " ARX " and support Frontier ? For me the game is over ! I dont have so much time to play the game to support my carrier. I will sell my carrier now and play other games. Thanx Frontier for that mega patch 3 !!!!
As of last night my Exploration carrier is on its way back to the bubble and will then be sold after that i will look at my options game wise. I tried mining for Tritium and gave up after 2 hours. If you cannot fuel the carrier out in the black then whats the point. Great move Frontier to wind up your players once is bad enough but to keep doing it is criminal.

Seeing a lot of comments in this thread and others, that FD hate their player base.(as I'm writing this one has just been posted, just to note, I was writing this before you posted that) Reminds me of the routine that Bill Hicks did about the wave of rock bands that were accused of putting satanic messages in their albums in order to convince people to kill themselves, his point being, what band in their right mind is interested in killing their audience/revenue stream?
Maybe I'm out of the loop on a running joke/meme here, but does actually anyone believe they hate their player base? Maybe some of their measures are ham fisted, but HATE their player base?

Considering they don't listen to their player base that not only warns them of things that may happen but also downright ignore the base telling them of the actual game stability probems, it sure as seems it.
A smart development team would fix the issues that are plaguing their game, rather than constantly work on new content. Nor do they follow the tried and true risk/reward method: The most dangerous activity in the game pays pittance in comparison to everything else. 1mil credits per Thargoid kill, is it? I can earn that in the same amount of time to kill a Thargoid by just killing a bunch of pirates in a haz-res, with a fraction of the effort. Even moreso with massacre missions.
Something needed to be done with Mining, that's fine. But what they did to it was akin to an execution. Not only is Mining currently not viable for credits anymore, but Any and all Carriers out in the black are ed, and on borrowed time: Mercy of Angel, one of the DSSA carriers, has been reported dead in the water because of the sudden scarcity of Tritium.
Hell, even standard Trading makes you more than Anti-Xeno work ever has. Station has a good price on an import? Not too hard to find another nearby station that's exporting that for a low price. Go there, fill up, come back, sell, BOOM you just made a profit of 1.03 million credits.

So mining hotspots are dead space and if you do happen to find a core 'roid, forget getting anything as the deposits inside are attached by superglue. They certainly don't break away with abrasion blasters. And now, just tried to log in and the servers are down. Coincidence ? Maybe a rollback to before yesterdays fiasco ?
