I can confirm my honk is also broken.
dont know about that up until last week i was having a ball and lots of fun in the CZ with stacking missions up to 108 ships killing for alot of credits
but its not about the credits its about the 108 ships that was the fun to stay in the CZ for 2 up to 4 hours and keep shooting and staying alive together with my taipans do exploring to find materials for the reloading of the multiguns
ofcourse now there will be people who say well go into the zones and kill even without the bonus yeah shure the rebuy of my ship is alot of credits and the outfitting pfffff abnormal
so the bonus counts to but that was not the main thing
its a game and somehow some people are stuck in between reality and fiction
for me a game should be endless fun and to be honnest the fun factor is seriously reduced at the moment for those who like the fighting aspect of the game
i dont care about trading and certenly dont give a rats a-ss about exploring then i fall a sleep "done that been there never again"
so whats next ? bounty hunting in hazerdous ? find another game ? go back to batlefield and games like that ?
then its a shame, awaste of time and money and i do really became to lave the game after a incredible boring start with just a sidewinder
i play games since the first game was launched some of you may know the game but most of you dont and i have never been in a position like now and so disapointed in a game like now

I know I already wrote this, but please: Add option to save several versions of the avatar!
I know this has been mentioned before, but it's still not completing installing via the launcher. It seems fine when I click upgrade, then the progress bar gets all the way along, the transfer speed sits at 0.02 MB/s and the time left indicator sits at <1m Where it sits and sits .. etc.
I have tried deleting the PUBLIC_TEST_SERVER_64 folder and re-downloading, same thing. The only fix I have found is to wait for a while after it appears to get stuck, quit the launcher, then go into the PUBLIC_TEST_SERVER_64 directory and delete Versioninfo.txt and rename Versioninfo.txt.new to Versioninfo.txt then restart the launcher then everything seems fine when I restart the launcher.
Never had this issue with any previous expansion until 2.3
But hey, not to end on a down note, the stuttering problems I've since the beta of 2.2 when dropping out of supercruise, especially around stations, and when docking / undocking have now *completely* been eradicated and everything is gloriously smooth as silk!

If you and your friend want to miss out on the rest of Elite Dangerous just because they need to continue earning money, then sorry for your bad luck. Your choice. Myself I don't mind paying a couple to 3 quid for some cosmetics that usually only I will see. People will still be able to see your ship's name when they lock on and do a basic identity scan. But hey, you want to cut off your nose to spite your face, knock yourself out.
Yup, no honk for me in Update 4 either. This now sits on top of the apparent sound problems with ship target scanner (no crescendo to indicate progress) and the SRV Wave Scanner (can hardly hear any of the old, familiar sounds anymore to discern different 'objects' of interest). Are these additional two actual bugs? If so, has anyone already reported?

i know this was not directed at me, however I just want to make 100% clear.. not everyone who has been here since the start took advantage of the HUGE holes in the games economoy.. indeed many of us actively try to dodge them.
back at the start of the game earning money was actually a skill, and indeed it was more than possible to LOSE money on a mission if you chose the wrong ship for the job and took too much damage etc.
To be fair at launc hteh game was maybe a little too tight on the money once you looked at ships beyond the T6.. up to the T6 however.. the economy was balanced far better imo than the game is now.

Great work FD! I look forward to test out the changes tonight.
Looks like steps have been taken to fix the mission stacking and instance hopping exploits, thumbs up!
It wouldn't be a 'exploit' if the game tracked the individual kills per mission in the order the mission was acquired instead of across all missions for a single kill. Then limiting the stacking wouldn't be required since only someone with loads of time would rack up 20 missions to kill at total of 80-100 ships/skimmers/etc. in 24 hours...
Killing the stacking (or limiting to 3) is not a fix, it is a plaster on a broken system.
I totally agree, the patch fixing policies are FDev are really frustrating, there are so many known bugs in the game for a long time, and as long as they are not totally game breaking, mostly ignored
they just dont care
many people have been complaning about bugs but all they do is what they think will make our life missareble
even with this incredible game killing update they produced more bugs but they just dont care
1) flying into a station is no longer smooth the graphics really su(cks)
2) loading of the missions board takes ages for the pictures to load that meens you have to wait with : galaxy map or esc or commodity until that has loaded ( they added a ton of extra checks and that takes so much time)
3) missions are messed up so bad that even sometime no missions at all
the game was playing the game but it seems that now the game changed and we are fighting against the DEVS and theire crazy idea's
i can only play for maybe 2 hours then i am so frustrated that i shut down the pc before i go crazy
HEY DEVS NO FUN AT ALL ANYMORE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

gotcha m8 and i understand what you are saying but you must agree that with a armour that cost arround 450 mil missions with 1 mill credits wont cut it
and maybe 10% is like you but the other 90% just took it as much as they could get and now they are playing the hypocrites
then the rankings pffffff man that took me a couple of weeks just to get the rankings for the corvette and then you must buy the corvette with all bells and lights for arround 500 mill without the armour
finnally got and then it fly's like a piece of concrete in a pool of cement and is blasted away by anaconda's
but ofcourse thats normal i blast the mercedes 500 sl amg completly gone with my daihatsu cuore so thats not new in this world
Another big money believer here?
No someone who cares about new players
i dont need rankings or credits i got it all
for me its about new players and the system that is a total mess atm
i wrote before i am only intrested in the batle side of the game and that has been totally screwed up now
i loved the massacre missions but now thats almost gone the 108 ships destroy missions are gone
and again a comment like this from someone with the join date picommander joined 24/12/2013
funny isn't it ??

Yes, highly aapreciated! Give us at least a level 4 dirty drive tuning there. Prof. "The Pain" Palin should not be the only one who offers higher drive tuning than grade 3.
