ANNOUNCEMENT Fleet Carriers Update - Patch 3

Always expect the unexpected in production data ;-) "Oh so this thing I thought has only two states now has four because some legacy code used that and parts of it live in the database, for example. Code isn't ready for that, was never tested for that etc. etc. And now we need a hotfix".
These things happen. Making changes in old and interconnected code can break things, like the aforementioned Thargoid slf combat bug. If there aren't proper tests in place, and I can imagine that given the sheer scale of this mile wide project ;-) there's zero chance to predict it. And testing databases are usually smaller and much less diverse than production databases. However it's almost palpable that they diverted 98% of workforce to PDLC, and I don't envy the crew keeping the lights on until then.
Just this.
Fixing the eggsploit was needed, and I could see the argument for pushing the prices of LTD's down some, but I can't believe that they intended what they've delivered to happen.
Leaving Hotspots with literally everything worthless in them, with only the barest fraction above zero of what the Hotspot is supposed to contain must be a coding failure.
Out of interest, (and apologies if this has been covered elsewhere, I've missed it if so), has any one tried mining for things just in the rings but not in Hotspots? I saw comments from people searching other single and other mineral hotspots, but nothing about ignoring them entirely.
That thargoid has done combat logging and must be banned by that!
In this case, the medium-sized project is an integral part of the big initial project, and as you said it is necessary to have Analysts.
Not station, stations, yes I've hunted for the best buying stations to sell at, and laugh all you want but an almost 50% devaluation is a market crash. Ask any market analyst in the world what they would label a commodity losing it's value by almost half overnight.

That's assuming you could be mining it right now, which you can't. Again the problem isn't JUST devaluation or JUST the hot spots being screwed up, it's both. If it was just one, it would be bad but manageable, the fact that Fdev can somehow zero in on the exact worse case scenario and make it happen is just uncanny honestly.
Spoilt by inflated prices (mainly in the bubble, I'd suggest) so when they drop it hurts. Try being a miner not 'boiling the egg' in Colonia, oh... you wouldn't because there are no stations / bases offering anywhere near maximum price most of the time.
It may be the first time you have seen low prices. I wouldn't ask a market analyst about a computer game where the economy is non-existent to begin with... If there had been correct implementation of supply & demand you'd not even have considered getting out of bed to go mining but would be playing the high-risk 'optional' scenarios as they would actually be offering a realistic payout.
..or you would not upload logs to edsm/inara and make own trade network
Problem with prices is, everybody go to the same station.
It's not just LTDx3HS mining systems or high sell pric systems, nor the number of people playing. It's the # of Fleet Carriers in the system. Probably the amount of data being transferred from the servers. I took a new player to a Guardian Site system last night. I was surprised at the number of FCs there. (Are they selling HN Shock Mounts or what?). Anyway, we both had loooong load times going to SC or dropping into the GS location. This is on XB1 and no response to System Chat pings.
Dear Stephen,
should i really read? i'm afraid of a new update now
i hope doesnt write "we did remove all mine in game".Wow, you're just full of assumptions today.
No I did not use the egg-sploit glitch. I didn't even know about it or really understand it when I heard people talking about it until after it was already being fixed the first time and even then, I said "Just go regular mining, it's not that hard." So I AM a miner.
In fact, I took a break from mining to go out to Guardian space with a friend to do unlocks when all this was happening. We had to cut our trip short because I felt it in my bones if we didn't go back now my carrier would be stranded out there, and boy was I right, if we hadn't cut our trip short and mined for trit when we did, we'd be fraggin' STUCK OUT THERE!!!!!
It's not spoiled to hunt for the best price, nor learning how waiting for Booms on systems which elevate those prices to get the best deal (That's WHY in certain systems LTDs go for 1.4-1.7). Perhaps you should learn how the game actually works and precisely WHY these issues are real issues, before tossing insults people's way.
Good idea. 2 hours in a few "popular" LTD hotspots turned about to be roughly 80% tritium instead and not diamonds at all. They definitely broke something. Just add the two words mentioned above and that will fix this problem quick. We just have to find the latest 'reliable' hotspots by name, if there are any left.
... OR you can simply replace the word 'hotspot' by 'coldspot'

LOL
Mining as of this latest patch is truly jacked up right now. Not sure where to go to get what anymore.
On a different (non-mining) note, has anyone noticed a substantial drop in HGEs, or any signal sources TBH, since the patch? I'm in a 'war' system, population of 2.9 billion, and there's 4 signal sources. 1 convoy dispersal, 1 distress call, 1 degraded emissions and 1 encoded emissions.
The surrounding systems are no better.

Try actually reading what I'd written, if I wanted to insult you I'd have done a much better job!
"Full of assumptions.... learn how to play the game..."
Odd you didn't respond to the comment about Colonia... But I guess if you haven't been there, you'd have no perception of the difference between the 'tiny bubble' and the bubble... 30,000+ potential markets in the bubble, BGS state changes permit many systems to be in the correct states to give bumper sale prices for minerals, a tiny fraction of that number in Colonia with the correct states being reasonably rare.
And you accuse me of insults, priceless

It looks to me like the extent of this mining nerf is intentional. not the new bugs of course, but they changed exactly what they meant to.....
"we're looking at live service numbers"
Get off your lazy butts and hop in a ship to see for yourself...
Im utterly disgusted
Not much i can do about it except to vent here and deploy my own nerf of my time and cash into this game
