ANNOUNCEMENT April Update - Coming 23 April 2019

[eldougie]

Would have welcomed bookmark locations on planet surfaces.
Oh well maybe one for the future

 

[EUS]

Extra s1 slots for M&L ships!
Hands off SC?
That's great news.

 

[Swiiiifty]

I'm interested to know where these "beginner" systems are and if they're in any way accessible by pilots like me that have reached elite.

Don't make it too obvious lol

 

[Allikat]

Accretion disks on black holes... when? We got proof of them about 30 minutes ago...

 

[Cmdr Alan Trent]

Nice additions, thanks to the team.

 

[GreyAreaUK]

That's great news.

I guess an extra 4 tons of cargo isn't to be sneezed at

 

[Lordxenu]

Some people have to find something to complain about, I guess...

I'll admit I'm in a poor mood towards Fdev at the moment especially their community management team.

and it frustrates me that everything has to be so secret when there's nothing on here that needed to be secret

But yes you are right i am just complaining

 

[Will Flanagan]

The way I'm reading it, they become permit-locked after you get at least one Elite rank.

I've updated this to be extremely clear, the beginner systems are only accessible until you earn your first rank in Combat, Exploration or Trade.

No worries mate

 

[Dwarden]

never enough of QoL improvements and 'bug fixes' , tho we need the detailed list of those
so we can focus our attention to those missing from that

 

[Alwayslate]

Whuaaaat? Advanced docking computer? Supercruise assist?

Just snipe them. I know you wil, CMDR.

 

[Marcus Sirrah Of Hyperion]

Great thanks that crept up on us sounds fun @Will Flanagan any news on the combination limpet controller?

 

[rodnanne]

great stuff i have been watin 4 a take off computer ....love it...flyon

 

[CMDR Disco Cat]

"Interstellar Initiatives" : intriguing, now let's talk about them in 2 weeks, yes ?

Also, one of the areas that had improvements I wasn't that convinced about was trading, but you're revamping it even more, I'm curious about how it looks now !

 

[Alec Turner]

WOW - most unexpected - love it!

 

[Old Duck]

Same as the lore that stops you entering shinrata until Elite I suppose

But that doesn't make sense, because this is just the opposite. It's one thing to say, "Only admirals are allowed in this briefing room." It's quite another thing to say, "Only recruits are allowed in this room - Admirals may not enter!"

I hope these are new worlds, because some of the current starter worlds are actually unique and beautiful, like Azeban(sp?) Orbital. If I'm locked out of these, well that would be a shame.

 

[EUS]

Thinking more like DSS taking a s1 slot instead of a s3 slot (Corvette, etc).

 

[Kira Mikamy]

what about BOT? moar easy to use it with this new module.

 

[[VR] wi03016]

Supercruise autopilot yes!

 

[Bigmaec]

what about BOT? moar easy to use it with this new module.

It's time to get one myself I guess

That black hole is larger than our (edit) solar system .... I'm not sure it's representative. But you're right, I mean 30 mins is more than enough time for fdev to code it.

another edit -that was sarcasm, btw.

 

[Screemonster]

Are those new size 1 slots gonna be restricted in any way? If not I can see myself engineering a whole lot of C1 thermal HRPs for any of my ships that are using reactive plating. Either that or extra MRPs
