Beta 1.1 comments for non beta players

Sorry if this has already been discussed in this thread (can't find the time to read all pages) but I have a question regarding the interdiction change (if you interdict a clean player, you become wanted). How does the Kill Warrant Scanner work? IE. Right now (unless I'm mistaken) we can't kill warrant scan someone while in SC. I guess they need to enable the kill warrant scanner while in SC.
I hope that made sense, I'm completely nackered after a long day's work!

KWS does not work in Super Cruise, but your normal scanner does. And that one picks up local bounties.

In essence you are only allowed to interdict NPCs and Players which have a local bounty in the system. As it should be.

Why would the feds let you interdict a NPC/player that has bounty from the Empire? Their ennemy.

The scanner doesn't work in SC. It just means that now players can't do the equivalent of running people off the road and searching their car on the off-chance they might be doing something illegal. Which seems fine to me. Interdiction is a hostile act that inflicts damage. Now it carries consequences.

Actually in the endless thread about it it was all about PvP.

And the answer to poor AI is better AI.

I agree with the interdiction change but I think they really should let the kill warrant scanner work in SC with this change. Really, what's the downside for most players with enabling the use of the kill warrant scanner in SC?

You are correct. I would add, however, that enabling the KWC to work in SC makes sense. Indeed, many lazy nearly asleep traders would probably welcome being told that they were being scanned as they may not have noticed the pirate on their tail.
 
I will never cease to be amazed at the amount of negativity that appears in this forum with every update. Been here since Gamma and the updates, tweaks and patches have been continuous. As for comments about the lack of communication, jeez! Never seen a forum with so much input from dev's and producers. The game is amazing! The regular updating and tweaking is amazing! The way the dev's encourage feedback from the forum is amazing! The game is less than 2 month's since release and FD have shown how much they are committed to it through continuous development, I think some people should see that and stop criticising the dev's and start being a bit more constructive in their criticism. Just saying.

The downside for players who are clean in a system is being interdicted I guess. Another upside is that it makes bounty hunters use their judgement and weigh the odds.

Personally - I'd solve the problem, if there is one, by selling bounty licences or a super-expensive scanner.
 
only higher goal for combat interested players is now nerfed to death. python not interesting anymore.....i regret i have bought it and now will miss 5 millions in my account when selling this crap

so back to the viper?

great

thats motivating

same here. Was bounty hunting my way to get a Python. And I just have a bit more than 5 Mio. Credits at the moment but was very motivated to get a beast of a gunship. But not interested anymore. That's a shame.

Totally agree on this! But that's how the interwebs work i guess ;)
 
So Bounty Hunting got nerfed.
Hmm, I'll see how this will effect my gameplay when it hits.

Bounty Hunting is most of my gametime.


Can someone explane EXTRACTION ZONE HUNTING nerfed in a bit more detail. I'm bounty hunting @ RES a lot and I think compared to trading, the money you get is way less. I hope they did not nerf it so it's even less worth. I REALLY don't want to trade but I somehow want to be able to buy expensive ships. If it takes even longer now, then

GOOD BYE!

I already replied to another user but I'm quoting again.


People in the beta have been to RES and reported that nothing has changed.

I think the only changes they did to RES nodes was to prevent this: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=100979

No bounty hunt nerfs so far, it was a rumor started by misinformed users because they saw this in the patch notes:

- Prevent infinite stream of pirates in extraction zones

One think I notice was that graphics are incredible, I'm not sure what they did but textures are much better and shadows are incredible, if you have a very powerfull video card and can use supersampling x2.0 it is almoust photo realistic, im not jocking.

screeeeeeeeeeeeenshots!

Ah, ok. They already changed the amount of Pirates in RINGS. I think/hope RES are still the way they are.
I saw a video of a guy randomly flying in a ring (no RES) and so many pirates popped up, no police. They already "fixed" that with 1.07. I just tried it after I saw the video and it was great, tried it after 1.07 and hardly any ships with BOUNTY and police came along immediately. Approaching ships were immediately FSDing off after you started scanning them. A shame but ok as long as the RES stay the way they are. Otherwise you can hardly make a decent amount of money bounty hunting.

increasing difficulty of bounty hunting by cell and chaff nerf and not increasing bounties is in fact still a nerf of combat. no matter if RES got nerfed or not....
so combat will be more difficult ( i have no problem with that) but it takes way longer to earn money because you will just need longer to kill an opponent.

= less income

can FD do other things than nerfes?! since i play this game, things got nerfed......nothing buffed. and thats frustrating

<Confused> If you want to earn money - trade.

Takes longer to kill a NPC? Skill up...

How does chaff and shieldcells make you kill things faster?
I don't use both when bountyhunting. Ok maybe cells for elite annies. But never had more than one equipped, so i guess no real drama.
