Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Update 7 Notes

Hi Dev's, @sallymorganmoore
Firstly thank you for all your efforts in the bug fixing.
This one for me is a major issue:
https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/42858
Efficient weapons have lost the damage increase values.
Overcharged weapons damage increase numbers are not accurate & seems to be either nerfed or have a miscalculation.
The experimental affect oversized is current only granting a 0.3% increase instead of a 3% increase.
Please will you sort this out as soon as possible.
Thank you.

That's not all it does!
continuous relogging leads to negative values which can trigger an integer overflow.. making it an unholy killer weapon with effectively unlimited power.
Indeed.I've had a long career in the Telecom industry, where critical software has to be spot on or there are huge consequences. It's not so much that there are issues, it's that the reasons for the continuing issues has not been corrected (imho). That is a management issue.
Sally is giving it her all, so that is commendable, I don't envy her task
The main issue I see is that most of the problems with update 7 could be found by simply playing the game normally in single player for a day by a single person.
PLEASE @Sally get the message to Frontier management that they can’t continue to release untested software.
If they dare to say it WAS tested they will just make things worse.
Is that working in Horizons as well or only in Ody?That's not all it does!

Tried blapping a capital ship or are they just inherently indestructible?That's not all it does!

Whoever that Sally account is that keeps getting pinged is going to be mighty confused if they ever log back in again.
They go to 0 health instantly but don't die.. they are indestructible
Ody only... but they kindly made the absolute nerf of most of the combat weapons also apply to everything in Horizons too.
So in short combat and all that relies on it in the game is thoroughly rodgered right now until it's fixed, as you can imagine!

Yeah there's something wrong with Horizons efficient engineering numbers.
I have flagged this user for potential future collection, thank you mate
Do you ever come across any spare stuphz Sally?
I'm open to negotiations, perhaps along the lines of trading stuphz for some pictures of Phil Mitchell exhaling and going red?
Just putting it out there whilst I'm here
@sallymorganmoore would it be worthwhile/possible to simply rollback Update 7 for now ? Update 6 wasn't so terrible, at least there were no plasma accelerators with a bazillion damage and engineering worked....

Oh, and another for the list:
Now when mining all of the RAW materials spawn inside the asteroid. (at least in Pristine Metallic rings - have not tested other ring types)
Simply UNBELIEVABLE.....
My old (now replaced) PC played Horizons beautifully at high settings. Very early in Alpha I raised an issue that I couldn't get out of the station - it seemed to be related to Alpha needing a lot more memory and crashing my 8GB system (usually when it tried to load the system map). I couldn't take part in Alpha because of this, and the "full" release had pretty much the same problem (which I reported again). I lost patience (love) at that time and had around a 2 month break from the game.
So, long way of saying, that the original statement of Odyssey running on same game was false. The memory requirements (min/recommended) on the Steam page for ED are now 6GB/8GB and for Odyssey 8GB/12GB. Obviously an acknowledged difference now, but I couldn't play at all until I got my new system (and then didn't feel like it for a while...).
I am surprised they haven't brought down the servers to issue an immediate hotfix yet.That's not all it does!

This bug has really affected ship combat in a bad way.
I'm not. It's not all that big a deal (ie, won't cause all that much harm in the long run) so long as it's fixed soon (which it will be, I imagine it's at the top of the list of priorities (can't think of anything else that came up in this thread that even comes close).
Rolling back a patch that has already been pushed to live is not a simple matter. Its quite possible it would break even more things.
