Patch Notes Update 2.4 The Return - Update 2.4.03
- Status
With engineering, you can build a very fine Clipper that has all the shields it needs for PvE and PvP combat. The latter is a joke regarding weapon placement and canopy integrity, though.
Clipper. Die in style.
Did you get the missions from the same faction too? If so then that's why it happens as those missions don't stack any more unless you get them from different factions. What I mean is:
Faction A gives you a mission to massacre 20 Faction C ships
Faction B gives you a mission to massacre 20 Faction C ships
Faction A gives you another mission to massacre 30 Faction C ships
When you wipe out your first Faction C ship the first two missions will show the count but the second Faction A mission won't. It used to but they changed this in the first 2.4 release.
I don't understand, before 2.4 everything was crisp. I can't understand why after bringing in new content the graphics on PS4 degraded. It shouldn't have happened.
Anyone know what 'speed docking' is saw it mentioned in the 2.4 update
I believe (although I keep forgetting to look) that it's one of the tutorial/scenarios available from somewhere in the main menu.
You're preaching to the choir director, LOL. I can forgive it happening (bugs happen), but for Frontier not to be able to fix it weeks later, that leads me to the conclusion that they don't know what they are doing, at least on the PS4.
FDev, I know you have been working with various in-game HR departments to get the proper traffic controllers back on duty where they belong. But the much beloved pre 2.4 era TC in Ohm City, LHS 20, is still missing.

They're never too old to learn.
I saw tones of data missions to colonia from merope, now after the update I want to go to colonia, but these long distance missions seemed to have dissapeared??

Fingers crossed! If they, particularly those in charge of the Cobra graphics engine for PS4, can master the PS4 the way other companies have (Naughty Dog comes to mind), then ED has the potential to be truly great on our console. I just hope the people they have on that team are 100% focused on the PS4, and not spread thin across multiple platforms. Otherwise PS:ED will always be just a Windows port to a non-Windows console, and it'll never be as great as it could be.
The thing is, before 2.4 it looked fine to me. No such stupid texture issues at all. What has changed in the graphics code that causes these malfunctions?
Replying to 'speed docking' question I raised.... It was in patch notes 2.3 first, I went from 2.2 director to 2.4 so was looking at what I had missed. Don't think it's in tutorials as the note is under changes. Thought for a moment it was a return to the good old days of being able to go more than 100MPH without penalty around stations.

I assumed it was this under "Challenge Scenarios" ..
.. but now I think about it, didn't SJA re-vamp the docking computer to make it cope much better with speed docking? It might be referring to that.
What are you smoking?
It's comparable to a Python in cargo and armour (slightly less cargo, slightly higher hull armour).
It's fast, in fact it's ridiculously quick - it's the fastest large OR medium ship in game, so it can escape any situation with ease and (like the Cutter) it mass locks anything faster than it.
It's as agile in a fight as a ViperIII or FdL, which is ridiculously good for a Large ship and it has a size-6 power distributor to give it excellent sustained firepower from the hardpoints it has.
On top of all that, it's only 22 Million CR! A similarly capable Python costs 57M CR and it's still less than half the price of the 52M FdL.
Moaning that it has smaller shields than an FdL is pretty ridiculous, since the FdL is uniquely a shield tank and has the largest shield (and most utility slots) of any medium ship.

Would be a little bit late though as the docking computer has been like that for a while as you said by SJA. Interesting what it might be then, thanks for all the replies though o7
