Was this sever-side only? I haven't had any alerts for any updates on my end.
Although I seem to be having server connection issues now.

Thank you!

I'm an elite horizons player and still on the fence about Odyssey tbh...
I'm curious - can i keep my stacks, can i walk around my ship looking for a hydro spanner to fix the FSD, and, most importantly - can i shoot Thargoids and dodge concentrated acid for blood??

How about actively investigating how the developers keep breaking the game without understanding how the changes they are making keep introducing unintended(?) consequences.

Process management anyone ???

Quality control ???

Maybe time for beta patch testing before introduction instead of using players for whackamole...

I suppose this is a start, but my main focus is pirate missions for income. When wings of 3 scatter around you mixed with security in a resource extraction site (hazardous) that don't help, but get shot for fines, it's very frustrating. In a team, going to these res sites, disconnects us. Anyone else have the bug where your ships leaves you in the distance and you only see your hud? I looked at the list for the error codes and most of them are similar.

Here's a tip, look at what it does provide rather than looking at what it doesn't provide.

 

[Crazzybacon1945]

About how long do the updates take?

 

[Cmdr Microponto]

@Paul_Crowther
