Greetings Commanders!

This week's Discovery Scanner is now live on the website: https://www.elitedangerous.com/news/discovery-scanner-23052022


---

You may be wondering why the Discovery Scanner is being posted to the website instead of the forums - let's talk about it!

There are a number of reasons why, those being:

  • It's much easier to manage from a single location.
  • It looks much nicer displayed on our website!
  • We want more of you to discover the community section of our website, including the Event Calendar!
  • It helps us with translation so that we can reach more Commanders with the post.

You can of course continue to discuss the post as normal in the thread below!
And we will ad-nauseum.

I think your stated reasons for doing this are good, except possibly the looks one, but it does make commenting on specific points a little more awkward.

Do keep starting threads linking to the new Discovery Scanners each time though remember some of us are old and have memories like goldfish.
 
I have a couple question: Wasn't update 12 supposed to be released by the end of May?
The forum post reads "This is merely scratching the surface when it comes to the amount of work put in to Update 12, so stay tuned in the coming weeks for more information"
Are you implying that update 12 will really release in June, instead?
I know that, technically, this week and early next week are both going to be in May, but still...

They say it will help for the translation.
Not that they will translate it.

So, technically, it's correct.

And yes, I confirm the news wasn't translated when I checked. Might come later, or not.
 
This is merely scratching the surface when it comes to the amount of work put in to Update 12, so stay tuned in the coming weeks for more information, as well as the full patch notes on release day, which is currently aiming for the end of May

This information is little confusing, "stay tuned in the coming weeks", "which is currently aiming for the end of May" Which one is it, weeks or a matter of days?. Seems like your not that confident in delivering update 12 on time and covering all bases.

You're relatively new here, so I can see why this is confusing. Which one is it? Both. The update could release 31 May and be "in the coming weeks." But it could also come in June, be "in the coming weeks" AND "aiming for the end of May." Notice he didn't say "arriving by the end of May." So, what month will Update 12 drop? I'll give you one hint and it rhymes with "soon."

Time is relative.
Also they said end of May, but didn't mention the year. Playing it safe.
 
The end of May is within the coming weeks.

This week: Bug fixes and Odyssey. Next week: Bug fixes and Odyssey. Last year: bug fixes and Odyssey. 2020: Bug fixes and Odyssey. 2019: Bug fixes and Odyssey. Look, let me be frank - if it isn't fortnite yet it isn't going to be. Move on already.
 
The longer they leave releasing it the less bugs, in theory, it might have...
... and they might even address the issue with stolen goods transfer from FC, or the 32 button limit... (I'm a dreamer, I know!)
What is the 32 button limit and how does one reach it? I have nearly all my binds spread across a Hotas X Thrustmaster & Elecom trackball and I haven't encountered any issues, I'm sure I have more than 32 items bound, probably going on double that when I consider I'm using three sets of modifier keys. My problem is remembering where they all are.
