Patch Notes Update 1.6 and The Engineers (2.1) update incoming

Wow, I really have to applaud to this Update, Devs!
Especially the new station voices add a huge point of immersion to gameplay.
Awesome and easy to understand voice acting!

Found a few annoying bugs in the galaxy map though, but I guess you'll fix that in time.
 
Thanks for the great iteration to 2.1!

It's the little things that have really put the icing on the interstellar cake this time:

Radio comms chatter.
Some other audio tweaks and new atmosphere sounds for bases and ships.
The clock; necessary but unobtrusive.

The big things are also great:

Bookmarks and improved galaxy map icons systems.
Integrating CG's into the Mission Boards.


Some of the new UI's are a bit Xbox and I get the need for console integration but the game mechanics behind the UI's is rock solid.

EDH has become a whole new game again.

Awesome!

nice graphics on planets. generally not a bad upgrade.

Combat is way to hard for me at least. iv lost 26 mil in the last day. You need to have a difficulty slider for folks like me who suck. 46 years and I still play chess on the level 1 as level 2 always beats me. some like level 10 others need level 1. choice is the way to go.

You heard it well Patrick ;) and a bunch of new ships like Beluga and Dolphin as well. Michael said that ships will coming in relation to gameplay. So... Big hype ;)

And a some ideas go through my mind related to passengers gameplay mechanics :

Prisoners convoys : let's imagine a mission to bring an evil pirate and his crew to a trial. we can expect a multi stage mission (convoy, ambush,etc,..) > special cargo hold > cells ---> ( a new outfitting option)
Humanitarian missions
Medical assistance mission

With your ideas, the galaxy comes to life even more

In the patch notes one of the new tweaks and fixes was this:

- Add links to new tutorial videos

Does anyone actually see any new tutorial videos? I can't find them. I tried from Training in the main menu, it tried from the link on the launcher and I also tried going straight to the FD Youtube page.
 
Hmmm it seems that I miss update.When I log in and check game updates on client options it say "Game is up to date". Under "Play" button I can read X 2016.05.25.109052 0.4.5537.0 (0.4.5499.0 SERVER) ND.

Something I noticed with 2.1 is way better interactivity. There is more life in and around stations, both in space and on surfaces.
I feel like I'm part of space now and not just being a spectator on the side.

2.1 is what 2.0 should've been, not including Engineers ofc. But better late than never. :)

B**ch please. Devs don't even knew this issue existed. I wrote report at support site anyway.

...

where do i get those MICRORESOURCES for the engeneers?????


If you click on one of them in the engineers screen, then a tooltip will come up and tell you the best place to get them. Most are gotten by scanning ships, picked up in some Signal sources and scanning ship wakes.

This is an essential aspect for the success of the game and for the immersion
 
Umm... If this has been asked before, I apologise, it's hard to know what's already been talked about.

Is it just me, or have the black market prices been drastically lowered? For example, I've got this black box here. I'm on Crick Terminal, a wealthy, large pop. Orbis starport. Its black market offers me 2551 vs. a galactic avg. of 6995. A couple of small survey data caches - 1827 vs a galactic avg. of 4055.

Have I just lost track of black market pricing, because I've just reurned from a three week hiatus, or did the prices sink, indeed?
