Patch Notes Update 2.3 The Commanders - Changelog
- Thread starter Edward Lewis
- Start date
It's particularly interesing in lieu of Braben commens from AMA that CQC isn't high on the priority list to put it mildly.
Also, having played EVE: Valkyrie I'm surprised CQC didn't lift off successfully, maybe poor matchmaking or poor advertising... I have a lot of fun CQC-ing in Eve ;-)
Cool list.
But...do we still only have 3 real shades of brown complexions in the holo-me?

It tells you on the name plates what type of design they are - ExplorerNamePlate/TraderNamePlate/PassengerNamePlate/CombatNamePlate/PirateNamePlate
and the generic PracticalNamePlate.
So you could put different designs on different ships....if you want.

Blimey! I expected some tweaks but this is massive.
Just 1 thing though: no fix for Elaunching in VR by default when the Vive is conntected? Because I don't use the Vive for E
Little detail for the next changelog?
Did you file a bug for that?
This is the Clipper. The APIs, Journal, game (behind the scenes) uses this notation.

As developer accuracy with estimates goes FDEV is probably best in class out there. They have made most of them actually. I think the only exceptions are pretty much the 2.2 (1 month after end of Summer) and 2.3 (delayed 3 1/2 months after end of Fall). They hit all the different updates for the early access phase (pre-1.0) and then all the updates in the 1.X original season, then 2.0 (Dec 2015) and 2.1 (in spring 2016) were all also on target.
Also, just for info, 2.4 didnt have a date in the original announcement which was copy/pasted here: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...ajor-patches?p=3531095&viewfull=1#post3531095

I'm looking forward to Asteroid bases, megaships, and seeing if the new missions actually have any new gameplay. A lot of the other 2.3 stuff is non-gameplay fluff as far as I'm concerned but will maybe show value in a few years from now when there's gameplay to accompany it.
I'm also pretty irritated by how low-priority some of these bugfixes have been. I know I should be thankful to FD that they've fixed these bugs eventually, but I personally feel that their timescales and priorties for what to fix and when to fix it are very wrong. No other online game on the market would remain this broken for so long whilst the interim patches prioritise mere balance passes and minor, unrelated bugfixes:
The SRV wave scanner was horrendously broken from 2.2 Beta (7 months ago) - so as much as I'm pleased to see this huge list of bugfixes, I'm just wondering how many previously-working things have now been completely broken, because the SRV wavescanner was a case of 1 step forwards and 3 steps backwards.
2.2's single biggest feature for me (ship launched fighters) have been plagued by hull-health issues for rebuilt (and new) ships. For the entire duration of 2.2 I have constantly had to launch and recall fighters until I get one that launches undamaged. If you consider that SLF was one of 2.2's two main features, it really shouldn't have been this broken for the entire duration of 2.2 :\
Sorry to sound snarky, I know a lot of work has gone into 2.3, but I'm just displeased that the work wasn't done MONTHS AGO as a matter of priority.

Thank you FD for an amazing update incoming, that is one hell of a change log.
Complainers: Shut up.

Didn't see it in notes: is SLF's launching with already damaged hulls been fixed? All I wanna know...
Or even different ones on each side of your ship.
Very slightly disappointed that the ID number is a separate purchase.
There was the lower chair was supposedly for HIRED crew

I don't see why they would, that is kind of up to the CMDR to look at his/her own ship statuses.

I would think that is a Steam issue

I was thinking the same thing
2.2's single biggest feature for me was the Ancient Ruins sites ( pew-pew bores me ) - the code for this wasn't even turned on at release time! - we had to wait for 2.2.03 to turn it on - then it was horribly bugged - from beta testing at the ruins sites I'd say 'most' of the bugs are fixed ( but FDev never really admitted to most of them and in the release notes we just have 'Multiple fixes to address problems with an Ancient Site' - hopefully this is bug in the release notes since we found 100+ Ancient sites! ).
