I'm burning credits on fuel..

Finally logged in, flew to the station, docked, (fuel 89%), Station disappeared.. lost connection, logged in, flew to station again, docked (fuel 84%), access bulletin board.. connection lost.

Logged in, flew to station for a 3rd time, docked (fuel now 82%), accessed board.. connection lost..

LOL!! I'm spending money on fuel and not getting anywhere

Thanks Nomadski..
Looks great to get me started..... Ordering now

I have the same inexpensive but still good stick: definitely great value for money.
I regret not buying the Rhino X55 when it was for sale at £169.
You can get one for £220 on ebay now...

Helps one to appreciate just how complex a game of this magnitude actually is, and how much hard work goes into making it perfect. Thanks very much to all.

 

[synchromesh]

Got in and have no idea what im doing

Trying again ..

 

[Seradin]

How do we play with friends? I added a buddy and we cant find each other or find a way to join each other. Private Group doesnt seem to work.

 

[Nomadski]

I just had my first CTD - buying fuel.

Dont buy fuel!

 

[Existence Unavailable]

Git online!

Got online and played solo. Took several attempts to get docking permission at Aulin but worked great for a while and then lost online status and got kicked back to main menu. Still, I flew! Great to be back in the seat again.
Happy flying guys. This rookie pilot of off to the sleep pod.

I bought fuel and it was ok.

I think whoever is still on at FD should go home and have a beer now.

Thanks for all the effort guys.

Just had a quick fly to Beagle 2. Asellus system looks stunning!

 

[Nomadski]

I think Aulin is really buggy.

Very dark...

Spoiler

Had slow framerate at one point, two crashes.

Got some pics of the ring though...

Anyone sussed if we get to keep our previous PB ship like they did with last update or has everything been completely reset?

 

[Vlodec]

Hmm, I see supercruise and hyperspace controls are now one and the same. Had me puzzled at first.

P.S.

AFAIK everything is reset.

 

[Nomadski]

We get two pulse lasers now instead of one

I noticed this earlier, I think the planet that the station is orbiting is eclipsing the star.

I'm pretty impressed so far, seems to run a lot better on my machine, much smoother. I like the missions but there doesn't seem to be a way to split deliveries (ie. if you need to provide 7 items you can't do a delivery of 4 pieces then another 3 - if that's intended then it shouldn't let you accept that if you're in a Sidewinder!).

Ive just logged back in, and your right, the star isjust appearing behind a now visible planet!

I feel a bit dim now.

supercruise dropouts lag something fierce. Hyperspace too. Can get a tad annoying.

Always remember it's a testing version. Actually I think it's working spectacularly well.

 

[Dungeoncrawler]

Since ai are now docking, is their collision disabled inside of stations? Awesome update btw!

A couple of small points for any devs reading this.

Firstly, the Galaxy Map really needs its own shortcut key, in my view.

Secondly, I'm constantly being told I don't have enough fuel to make the jump I want to make, but the Galaxy Map has no indication of fuel required. So you have to do it by trial and error. Or am I missing something?
