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

The problem with the auto-docking module is that it really can't understand the urgency of any given situation. Say, for instance, you're abusing the Robigo run, and need to get through the mailslot before you're scanned. The docking module will attempt to do this below the speed limit, when you could accomplish this action at 350 m/s and use the rear wall of the station as a brake.
Yeah, but the nice thing about the Docking Computer these days is that it works even if you activate it only after you go through the mail slot.

And it does a better job of braking than I do. :D
 
Still sitting here waiting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe I should go and do something more useful instead? Problem is you always think that if you do then something might happen. Of course when they do finish I still have to download the update and then probably the loader. You also know that due to demand and everyone doing the same thing at the same time it is going to be painfully slow. Its a pity it doesn't do this automatically but you know I am going to keep waiting just so that when the upgrade is finished I can press the upgrade button. Maybe I need to get a life?
 
Drones/Limpets:

- Prospector limpet drone replacement order gets stuck fixed
- Fixed refinery bin list jumping up and down when collecting fragments that are automatically removed from the hopper
- Stop jumping when non-auth drones receive a position update via the network
- Non targeted collection drones should try to return to their ship and find another target
- Drone controller modules are no longer visible on the HUD arcs unless assigned to an active firegroup
- Limpets can now deliver cargo to a hatch which is trying to be any of the 4 open states, rather than having to wait on the door to cycle back to the open scooping state
- Fixed bug where roaming collector drones would re-build after authority transfer as single target drones
- Don't allow further drone launches while another drone controller on the same ship is busy launching a drone
- Prospectors now display asteroid material content as high, medium or low


I've already read that & played the beta's (& ice mined upto beta 4) :p, with the engineers beta they introduced collector drones with much slower & circuitous return route, it massively slowed them down. We posted a bug thread about it & it was acknowledged, but their were no further updates regarding this issue in the change logs or in the thread.
 
I picked a good time to get back into ED I see! Bless the devs, and the people who have felt the burn of the maintenance the full duration.
 
I think someone at FD is looking at a screen saying.

Yeah, but why do so many sneer at those who use a Docking Computer?
I personally find manual docking to be way too tedious and repetitive.
Am I alone?
 
i just hit start on the opening screen and it is giving me the rotating circle with "logging in" under it.

WE'RE ALMOST THERE GENTLEMEN


Ignore what i just said, post above mine explains why LOL updates on updates on updates. I don't care what's in it, just give me my crack!
