Patch Notes Update 2.1.04 update incoming

(Xbox) Fix for title entering unresponsive state after disconnecting the WAN Network cable
I don't play on xbox, so this is of no consequence to me, but I'm curious, why was this needed?
Shouldn't the game become unresponsive when you disconnect the network cable? and why the heck are people yanking out their network cable? :S
 
Hey! Is zooming into the planet surface with the mouse wheel, in system map new? I don't remember being able to do that before. Nice.

Various text updates

O.K. I am not one of those who keeps asking for next point updates, features,etc. usually but, considering we are still receiving small updates per week and an incoming huge fix on July for 2.1, when should we be expecting anything regarding 2.2?

It was supposed to be released this Summer but we are yet to see a single screenshot, idea or feature and its mid-summer.

Is it being delayed as well?

It's to simulate a loss of Service and the game is required to handle such situations without becoming unresponsive for a significant period of time.

Should be a fix against those who combat log. They either quit the game or yank the network cable before they get destroyed. There are some shaming websites and maybe a facebook page for the Cmdrs that do this on Xbox. It sucks getting interdicted by a commander hoping to pirate you, only to turn the tables on them, and have them pull the plug.
 
FYI - You can transfer modified modules between ships

Sure you can, at the risk of losing the module should your session drop mid transfer and then have support tell you they won't restore it as its not a supported function of the game. Sure, totally working as intended...
 
It says that "Drones can not be transfered" or something similar when I tried it. But yes... I agree with you... it is weird that limpets (drones) can't be transfered. A good explanation from the devs to why this is the case would be most welcome.

What I do:
• Go to station resupply screen
• Sell my limpets
• Go to shipyard screen
• Select one of my ships that has adequate storage space
• Select to store my current ship and retrieve my other one
• Go to resupply screen
• Buy limpets

The only thing that you'd be blocked from doing is purchasing a new ship that doesn't come stock outfitted with adequate cargo space.

(It is pretty annoying though. And I'd love to have a warehouse at my home station.)
 
It was pretty fun batting at my keys at just the right intervals to thrust down and left just right to manually correct for the DC glitch. LOL! I only have one on my small, disposable dune buggy delivery ship. Pop the skimmers and risk nearly no cash! Weee!!

I have an actual flight stick now so I don't really miss the DC. But it's good to know I can stick one in the buggy plopper if I want to. Yay!
 
Docking computer users rejoice!


I am rejoicing - As a full time user of the DC I was lost without it.
I can manually dock so please don't have a go because I use the DC but my faculties
have deteriorated due to the ageing process and the DC was a godsend for me
