Patch Notes Update 2.3 The Commanders - Changelog

[danteuk]

New organics added to surfaces
- I've yet to see any of the other organics yet

There are threads here for various organics that have been found by explorers and the damn lucky ( since we have no tools to detect them, only your eyes ).

Added 32 asteroid bases in various deep space locations
- I wonder where these are and how deep into space they will be?

400 billion star systems and only 32 asteroid bases, mmm.

Reverted the order of the latitude and longitude readout on the hud to be the same as pre 2.2
- How will this affect current tools and db's that already have the old coordinates? I supppose they just reverse them

Those forum posts I mentioned above for finding organic objects without having to manually search 400 billion star systems and some astronomical number of planets, well the coordinates are all going to be listed the wrong way around and all screenshots that show them will also show the wrong coordinates. - Thanks FDev.

'Fixed fighter bay hitcheck on Federal Dropsip.\'

Wha.... my ship now has a fighter bay?
Awesome!

 

[Ben Ryder]

Thanks Fdev!

Bounty Hunting certainly looks like it has got a breath of life back.

Anyone interested in seeing my notes in one place ca take a look at https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteAntal/comments/64q434/23_direct_effects_on_antal_pledges_and_utopia/

It was written for a particular player group but all the info is there in one place and hopefully in a nice neat order with some observations and an inital conclusion.

 

[FrogsFriend]

Why the coordinate switching every update? Why? [blah]

 

[danteuk]

FD please give info on 2.4 and please let it be the core game.

2.3 just doesn't do it for me. Enough gimmicks please.

I'm also underwhelmed with the 2.3 release, lots of cosmetics, some nice stuff for the youtube content creators ( although they didn't get the much needed to multiple save slots for holo-me's that they will need! ). Apart from that we have the mutli-pew lore breaking telepresence nonsense and a new ship( which is a nice ship and fly's well ).
I'm really hoping the alien story line moves forward more and the stuff in the trailer from PAX is actually all in game and findable ( and not just a scripted non-interactive event again! ).

Good work guys!

General:
Mysterious things added[alien]

LOL, you guys


[alien][alien][alien][yesnod]

I think it's the Thargoid base and Thargoid capital ship.

• Added some new challenge scenarios
- 4 new Incursion scenarios
- Speed docking
- Driver challenge
- Ship launched fighter challenge

Interesting.

Limtied missions

Well FDEV the part of the update i do not like is the limited to 3 missions for massacre , skimmer and planetary scan missions . I think this is going to make this game more of a grind than it already is for making credits and eventually will in turn deter people from playing this game once they find out they can stack missions like they used to . credit making in this game is already tough without being to stack more than 3 at a time . I think this tweak is a big mistake and will get a lot of people to change their minds about playing this game anymore .

 

[Macros Black]

So who stole the D-Scanner Complete boom-sound?

Edit: In fact, I think the whole audio sequence for the D-Scanner is gone.

Sorry, cargo bay, not fighter bay!

I was single before reading those patch notes. Now, I'm married and have 3 children. Thanks, FDev! [up]

Added a new Data Link scanner for ships

What is this for?

 

[bAdbUd]

What is this for?

I missed that. I'm curious too. It could have meant SRV rather than ship?

 

[Alex Brentnall]

What is this for?

Scanning data?


In seriousness they mentioned something to do with megaships on one of the Q&A livestreams.

 

[Azirphaeli]

Asp (added second chair for Multi-Crew)

Wait...you mean that there was no second chair all this time? Than what was that thing directly below our upper chairs, on the lower level?

This is probably the most disappointing thing about the update, I was so looking forward to being seated in between the two hardpoints and watching multicannon shells whiz by.

 

[Macros Black]

Reset my save, noticed that CMDR starts with a million credits. Is this a beta thing only?

 

[trigg88]

What are the locations for these folders?

In the launcher open options and enable cashe check, and enable virtual cache.
No need to move anything about and the beta sub dir will get deleted at the end so you don't have two copies

Magical telepresence, magical pips, and magical third-person gunnery, all on schedule. *shudder*
