Patch Notes Update 2.3 The Commanders Beta - Changelog

[Becky]

NPCs

• Added in the Vulture & Python to the police archetype, these ships should now respond to crime and have the correct skins

Will pythons be getting Military slots to add more protection for the po-po?

I know in the last round of ship balance updates (where the traders were buffed), Sandro mentioned giving some love to the Diamondback Explorer in the form of an additional size 2 slot. Any chance of seeing that sometime in 2.3?

 

[Schlack]

3 Skimmer mission limit? The Great BGS Hamster smiles up upon you.

MFW reading these patch notes:

Ohhhhh yeah, that's the stuff.

So much good stuff here, I'm going to have a lot of fun following this Beta, and salivating at the chance to try everything myself when it gets to release day.

 

[Schlack]

Quick question, are the asteroid bases only located out in the black or are some located in the bubble?

 

[IndigoWyrd]

[*]Massacre conflict and massacre skimmer missions limited to 3 per player at a time. Rewards increased slightly to compensate

[*]Planetary scan missions now limited to 3 per player at a time. Rewards increased slightly to compensate

This will appease all those who hate "mission stacking" and utterly destroy the gameplay of those who do it.

Misc

All players on 2.3 Beta 1 have a minimum starting balance on their existing Commander of 1,000,000 credits.

For some reason this doesn't actually show in the post and I didn't notice it until I'd quoted.

 

[Sayne]

If you want to limit the stacking of missions and board switching, which I'm sure is tough on the servers, you need to more than slightly increase mission rewards - not just Massacre and Scan missions, but for all missions.

For Massacres I'd at least double if not triple or more the rewards.

 

[starman]

Making some pancakes while the beta upgrades...

 

[Mephane]

Added 32 asteroid bases in various deep space locations

32? As in, among these thousands of inhabited systems, many of them containing millions of asteroids... only 32 times did anyone have the idea of turning an asteroid into a space station?

 

[Deleted member 38366]

Hmm.... No fixes/tweaks/additions to the BGS this time around? Or did I miss anything?

 

[bradLP560]

No mention of the instant mission failure?

 

[Minecraf345]

Empire Trader? Is that the internal name for the Clipper, or is it a secret new ship?

 

[C. Watt]

Any word on whether we can buy Beta access still?

 

[Cosmo]

32? As in, among these thousands of inhabited systems, many of them containing millions of asteroids... only 32 times did anyone have the idea of turning an asteroid into a space station?

Yeah these should be as common as other station types.

 

[Darkminded]

Stations can now be disabled, which will turn off thier response to crimes and will disable AI spawning

Wait WHATTTTTT What do you mean Disabled ????, as in shooting it into "lighs out" ???, or server side fdev disabled ?

I am assuming states of war. We maybe getting Combat zones around stations at a guess.

 

[X-Terminator]

Have we heard if we will be able to keep the Holo-Me we create in Beta, or will it get wiped? Don't want to spend 3 hours getting it just right if there's no way to keep it.

It's 13.3 Gb mate

 

[Strangepork]

Great, thanks so much.

"Fix issue where srv could still be driven even though it was..."

Wha?
