I'll bet some of you have some pretty interesting and cool stuff you do to help with the grind

I don't do anything. I dislike having music going while I'm playing a game, so no music.

I'm generally too busy in game to do any web stuff or forum stuff. I just play the game.

Then when I'm done I might come to the forum to post wicked cool screenshots of my adventures.

I also don't usually "grind" anything. If I'm not having fun I do something else. I have made a couple of exceptions to that in the past (Empire rep used to be very hard to get), but that's my rule. If it ain't fun, why are you doing it? :)

I get up to use the bathroom as needed. And my dogs need attention fairly often during the day, so that gets me to go outside. Otherwise I wouldn't.

Sorry. Nothing interesting or cool in my list I guess :p

Go back a few years and it was briefly possible for the nasty minded to build a Cutter that was tougher than the station guns, they would then go and park in the slot, this was considered by them to be a great answer to other people having fun using that station for say a CG.

I don't know if that's funny or sad? I guess some people think it is funny to do something like that, I could see somebody doing it

I wouldn't say that, I always enjoyed your screen shots of the flora you found, I did all my exploration in Horizons so no xenobiology for me. That's why I always found your pictures so fascinating. Because of that, I now know what to look for and how to do it, very informative.

I'm going to head back out into the black as soon as I make deadly in combat, it is a tremendous grind getting there from dangerous, I not looking forward to going for elite. I think exploration is my first love in this game. I think I'm going to come back to the bubble to unlock some more engineers and then take off in my Anaconda from there.

Massive list of fixes for tomorrow's patch. Most of the things being fixed are things I've never noticed :p

There were 2, however, that I know about.

NPC visual variety has been fixed

If this means that NPCs in chat no longer all have the same face, then that would be good. It's a very minor issue, but it kinda bugged me :)

My sunglasses need to be visible at all times. Yes.

I hope the patch doesn't break something I care about :D

Just managed to land before the servers went down for update 12.
Playing with my alt account for a bit. I'm doing some more engineering on his ASP X for the trip to Colonia to unlock engineers.
I could get more jump range by:
  • going down to 4D thrusters and a 3D power distributor, but I want to be able to carry a passenger cabin without changing thrusters and boost just a little more often
  • complete grade 5 dirty (only one roll done at grade 5) and drag effect to the thrusters I've got, but approx 475m/s on boost is enough for me on an exploration ship so its not worth collecting/using more materials for it
  • live with less shield strength, but 334MJ will save me from the worst crash landing I've known and I've got the materials to do this
  • light weight the heatsink launcher from grade 4 to 5, but it makes almost no difference to jump range and I'd have to collect more materials for it
Basically, I'm less fussy with this exploration ship build as I won't being doing more than exploring a different path between the bubble and Colonia for exploration rank and might catch a ride in one direction on a Fleet Carrier. The trip is mainly to unlock the Colonia engineers. It will also be nice to use the ASP Explorer for a decent length trip. I think FDev have toned down the propeller engine sound - it doesn't irritate me the way it used to, and the cockpit view really is better than in the Phantom.

It seems that "Manage Your Ships" (at the bottom) is the problem. I can switch ships in Odyssey but only from the right panel. If I select "Manage Your Ships" at the bottom it hangs the game.

I've never understood why there are 2 scrolling lists of ships anyway. That interface is just weird.

Anyway, there's a workaround so...

Issue is here for confirming purposes:

I can't switch ships. I'm on my carrier in my hauling Cutter. When I try to switch ships the game hangs and I have to task kill.

Is switching ships working for you guys?

I was able to switch ships by logging into Horizons. Tried again in Odyssey, it still hangs. I'll post a bug report if it's not just me so we can vote, etc.

The Cutter is the current ship on my Fleet Carrier set up for laser mining. I went to outfitting and removed the mining gear and put back cargo racks and guns for hauling. Then I switched ship to the Federal Corvette, and it worked OK. All done in Odyssey. I specifically clicked on the "Manage Ships" bottom panel to change ships rather than any other route to doing it - i.e. did not select from the right hand vertical list of ships.
Perhaps there is something other factor here. I did lose my custom cockpit colours, so I'll need to reapply those.
At a glance, custom key bindings look OK.
Only additional carrier services I have are repair and restock.

Just seeing Codgers last reply to this thread - I also just tried selecting the ship from the vertical list on the right hand panel and that works too.
Conclusion - I don't experience this issue which ever way I change active ship.

I decided to do some Odyssey missions. I've been out in the black for a while, so I was feeling a bit rusty. Nonetheless I dived right in with a "Kill Scavengers" mission, which turned out to be me against 23 scavengers, in the dark.

I had a very good time. I do love the feel of on-foot combat in this game. Needless to say I haven't lost my edge. Those scavs even tried to shoot my ship, but I stopped that nonsense :)

Here's a shot from when I ambushed 3 scavs. They were aware of me, but I ducked behind a rock and managed to surprise them anyway.

I also tested out the "visible glasses" fix. Works ok, except not in my portrait on the mission board, or on my ship. No glasses there.

Here I am with my now-visible glasses.

And this is the alt, with her also-visible glasses. :p
