With the change list being so long, you can always hope they missed mentioning it!
There is also no mention of Trappist-1 system being included, but there was an announcement saying it would
.. wait and see

Hi there,
That's not what this means.
Previously when choosing which missions to spawn, the normal and passenger missions shared an allocation. So selecting a passenger mission was effectively at the expense of generating a normal mission and vice versa.
Now they've been given their own allocation, so this isn't an issue anymore.
This was part of a raft of fixes and tweaks in the mission generation system to hopefully populate boards better and have fewer factions with 0 missions...
Hope this helps,
Dom
It's a mixed bag.
I've just looked at Ed's OP post and it looks as if the Horizons's only bits are the Avatar creator and the Multicrew, and obviously any stuff for planet landings.
Nearly everything else seems to be tweaks and changes which you will be able to gain access to.
So that includes:-
Ship naming
Mission mechanic changes
Fixes to npc/AI.
and what sound's like a lot of UI fixes to make life easier.
I can of course be wrong, but that's how I read it.
Nice, looking forward to this one.
Great job!
Great job!
Hello,
Thank you for such fantastic update.
Could somebody specify the use of the megaships in the game?

I'm enthusiastically waiting for multicrew but 'Multicrew usage is based on the number of physical seats on your ship' will needlessly exclude newer players from the ability to fly together. Only the high-end ships offer three seats.
What's the thinking behind this barrier for less affluent players?

Naturally one of the features I want to use most[rolleyes]. It honestly feels a little like base game owners are left behind in terms of shiny new content. I understand they may want to keep some goodies for season pass players and that's fair and understandable but the pendulum is swinging a tad too far in one direction imo. It's still not gonna stop me from playing though. Hopefully there will be a sale for Horizon's soon.
Thanks for the reply though!

it shouldn't be too bad, it won't take even a new player very long to get a big enough ship to have at least 1 extra seat.
True not all ships can have fighter bays, but other than that, multicrew does need not a huge ship.
You can always join someone else's crew as a starting option.
I had to do this as a workaround when some dudes got stuck in one of my cabins after a failed mission. Is that issue fixed?
Like that there are lots of little QoL improvements, this one in particular is great.
It's most likely 2.
Whenever I had this happen, it coincided with times where the entire mission board was behaving erratically, and certain active missions were listed without title or description text in the transactions panel.
There will be ... I suspect ... just as horizons 'season' is finishing and they move on to the next great "thing".
see you planetside then cmdr.
Some great features in here for sure.
Not being able to stack massacre missions is stupid however. In most systems, stacking is the only way to get a worthwhile payout in civil war systems. This was NOT an exploit. Most massacre missions that spawned over 2M credits had me kill several dozen NPCs in conflict zones. Sometimes I would drop in and randomly get attacked by the entire enemy fleet and having to exit immediately to repair. The combat bonds barely cover the maintenance expenses... And many systems don't even spawn that many massacre missions anyway... I think this was an unnecessary nerf since there is a level of risk involved.
Instead of dropping the nerf hammer on every activity worth doing, FD should create and control those lucrative activities, perhaps by making them temporary and challenging to find. Think of a community goal where instead of being announced it is secrete and you get super good deals on a trade route or a mission type for a couple of weeks but players would have to find these deals across the bubble ...
Ed Lewis, if you read this, please give it a thought ! Don't make it hard and tedious to make money, make in challenging and interesting !!

Knowing my luck >< I have heard rumours of a new season in the works though but realistically probably a while off yet.
The Pilots chair in my Corvette is empty when my Cmdr is in the fighter, so much for telepresence and no NPC in sight, switch back to my ship and the fighter seat is now empty. The vanity camera is a nice bonus.
Also the helmet does not appear in camera view when you switch off the life support even though the visor view activates in first person, it could be a long beta.
