I like the attention to detail .... the game is no longer broken !


  • Fixed a small dot that appeared next to the throttle pin on several ships

And yet (sorry, I wasn't going to do this) ... SRV fuel still stuck at 45%? sound for decrementing commodity quantities still missing? iCourier bobbleheads still viewed from the back in outfitting? SRV/supercruise-ship still auto accelerating in camera suite? Galaxy still beige? Wing beacon mechanics still broken? And they have time to fix a "small dot"? Priorities people, Priorities!

Sorry ... back to the love ... you're marvellous Frontier. You hear me? MARVELLOUS! ;)

Still nothing to manage.
Still a grind game where ONLY BRABEN play. Players watch, grind and read.
This game will be soon old, and still a game of 1990.

No real trade. No factions. No pvp. No Colonisation.
Only RP, on the head.

Do yourself a favor. Let your whining play something else and just get out of here. Thank you!
 
STILL no materials limit increase? FDev, you simply cannot introduce new materials and (with this patch) likely new RNGeering blueprints requiring those materials, yet restrict us to the paltry limit we have at the moment.

Please, I urge you to reconsider.
 
Manual Launcher update instructions for Steam users.

1) Close Launcher
2) Go to the game folder (C:\Program Files x86\Steam\steamapps\Elite Dangerous\)
3) Run EDlaunch.exe and it will update automatically.

Cheers!

Not quite.

It will open a web browser. Save the file and open it. It will have a location that includes the steam path, plus an extra folder, "EDLaunch". Go back one level, then install.
 
Ship Rebuy Penalty – When a player commits the crime of murder (PvP only), an additional cost is added if they swap to a less expensive ship before paying legal costs during the rebuy flow
Exemption for valid Powerplay PvP
Pilot’s Federation Bounty – When a player commits the crime of murder (PvP only), they receive an additional Pilot's Federation Bounty. This bounty is valid in every jurisdiction except anarchies
Exemption for valid Powerplay PvP

Hopefully this will end the griefers.

As a note, PvP in open does not automatically equal griefing. PvP in open has always been part of Elite Dangerous from the beginning, and is expected/accepted gameplay.

Having said that, it will definitely put a damper on a good number of the casual noob-killers over time as it starts hitting them in the wallet. There'll always be some of the more determined types who will keep at it, but the ones who were only doing it because there was zero consequences will rethink things after a few of the higher rebuy penalties.

Sounds like a different game. Have wandered into the wrong forum?
 
At least Ed should be live streaming the stuff in the patch list, hyping it to intergalactic levels and doing some compos to win free kits etc by us typing something in the chat. ED Jokes, etc
 
"Made salvage commodities legal to pick up from wreck sites (will still appear illegal if dropped by ships as that is not salvage)" Yahoo! I've been asking for this for over a year! Always thought it was dumb to have every piece of salvage be illegal! Now this will open up a new path of game play, buy a nice big ship and become a junk dealer! :)

Sorry, but that is not entirely true.

The updater will offer a non-existent path "C:\Program Files(x86)\Frontier\EDLaunch", not your steam path.
You have to change it to yout actual Elite Dangerous installation path, which will look something like "C:\Program Files(x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Elite Dangerous" (provided that you had Steam install ED into the default location).

Nope. We will wear the Pilot Federation Bounty with Honour.
 
Dolphin


  • Fixed some texture issues with the Excursion Paint Job
  • Flipped some text on the cockpit fire extinguisher
  • The Dolphin now casts a shadow correctly when in the hanger
  • Fixed a texture error that occured when the Dolphin's shields were hit when viewed from another ship



sigh!... no fix for the Dolphin heat issues then 3 updates and no fix?
 
[*]Fixed an issue where the "Shields offline" audio played after every jump when shields were turned off

- Thank goodness you nailed this one, it would have driven most explorers bonkers pretty quick!

How would you be able to tell the difference? Most are bonkers to start with :D

Quoted for Truthery.

Speaking as someone who's currently on the last leg of a near circumnavigation and about to hit the neutron clusters to get to Colonia from the western rim, I'm quite, quite mad. Still, it'll give me a chance to test that 20,000 LY plotter.

Also, please please please can there be planets that aren't brown? Yes I know, ice worlds can sometimes be blue or green or pink, but...

At least now you have instructions for the fire extinguisher for when you do overheat ;)

I feel sorry for you, if you don't like it go play the released version of Star Citizen.
Personally I am looking forward to this update and the many updates to come in the future.
