Fleet Carriers - Patch 3 - Known Issues

[Stephen Benedetti]

Greetings Commanders,


Thanks for your feedback on the latest patch! We understand that some of the changes had unexpected effects and want to address them:


Overlapping Hotspots Commodity Distribution
With Patch 3 we implemented a change that was primarily intended to bring down the effects of multiple overlapping hotspots, especially on rarer commodities (such as Low Temperature Diamonds). We're currently looking at data from the live game to determine the actual impact that it is having and will review this based on our projections. If the data does not meet our expectations we will be making changes accordingly.


Tritium
One of the most noted points of feedback we've seen so far is that the rarity of Tritium has been negatively impacted. We'd like to make it clear that any negative impact on locating and mining Tritium is unintentional and the intention is for Tritium to remain as accessible as it was prior to Patch 3.


Limited Purchasing on Fleet Carriers
Fleet Carrier purchase orders are now limited to a maximum order of 2bn Credits. This was omitted from the patch notes and we apologise for any confusion this has caused.


Console Players
A small update will take place tomorrow around midday for Xbox and Playstation users. This update won't contain any noticeable changes, but lays the groundwork for future bug fixes.



Finally, we would like to thank you all for your great feedback, we have been listening and watching and we appreciate your patience and support.



UPDATE: We are investigating the issues above, and are working on a patch. We will update you with the date for this patch as soon as we have it. Thank you for your continued patience.



o7 Commanders.

Awesome!
But please fix the bug that makes winging up with my friends on PS4 impossible. Relogging and changing to open or several private groups don't work. It's hard playing with my squad mates if we can't even see each other

 

[Cmdr Sbf-2006]

Is the tritium supply in Colonia stations being fixed? It's been in single digits since patch 3

Maybe my english is limited but I don't understand this one. Is it linked to the commodity trade on FC's? One cannot enable a trade for a commodity for more that 2 bn at once?

 

[Cmdr Tali'Shepard]

"...bring down the effects of multiple overlapping hotspots..."

Well, you achieved that intention in spectacular fashion!!

 

[MadSinUN]

Why is special attention paid only to issues related to the latest updates? What to do with the problems that have been dragging on for several years? Or is it no longer a problem?

Any reasoning on that? Seems arbitrary.

Unless it’s really just because you can’t properly fix the display bug for total volume m)

 

[alexzk]

Fix fights! Now after kill drop disappears if you fly away too big dist (I suppose 25kms) as it does for rocks. However, things like toxic cloud from thargoid remains invisible in area and does dmg if come back close.

 

[The Broken Limpet]

"Sorry there is an issue guys, We'll look at it and make changes if we need too, When? Hahahaha. Next question"

Also, No mention on Supply/Demand. I too agree that a true supply/demand economy would be good for the game! However, so far we only have half of that.

C'mon Fdev, What about those carriers that are stuck now? Screw them right?

 

[[PS4] Lorenzo Waringos]

This all sounds perfectly reasonable. I’m furious. What am I supposed to do with this pitchfork now? Can’t even use it for mining.

 

[Patrick_68000]

Frontier always in the front line . +1

 

[photomankc]

This does not mention the abrasion blaster no longer working on core rocks if you’ve used any other mining method before planting charges.

 

[Thauma]

I do hope that tritium actually gets a heavy buff. Hotspot asteroids should have more than 50% richness in them, imho, cores as well. You can balance this abundance of tritium by making it dirt cheap to make sure that players won't just start making money out of it instead.

 

[imaner76]

Fix the squadron bookmarks please

 

[M4RTH4]

What of the other hotspots? It's not just Tritium that was effected.

 

[cmdr Temeleen]

So the LTD spawn rates - that got allegedly hammered as hard as Tritium if not more - are not specifically targeted as unintentional?

 

[djadjok]

Thank you! News about Tritium planned availability are reassuring.
Good news, according to my information today is the first time (since FC introduction) regular mega-ships have jumped according to their respective flight-plans, and I haven't seen so far any reports about connected causalities.

Yeah, I noticed that as well. Almost like they wanted to make LTDs rare but not anything else - if that were the case they'd have been better to remove LTD Hotspots from the available list and re-roll the rings again.

 

[Straha Yeagar]

So are any of these things going to be able to be fixed server side, or are we going to have to wait another week or two for a client side patch?

 

[Ed [FCOC]]

Thanks guys for trying to address this ASAP.

Restoring the Tritium supply in Colonia stations is a really important issue - lots of CMDRs want to get home to the Bubble on passenger/squad carriers!
