Nice to see that the horrible black bar of doom is gone 
It's also an interesting option to now be able to limit a plotted route to certain star types which is a nice thing for explorers as you could theoretically prevent stranding by only going along fuel systems.
However, I'd still like to finally get an option to just softcap the jumprange so that it would try to stay below that unless doing so would result in a vastly longer roundabout route, if any at all.
With how the fuel consumption works could I in my almost 40ly ASPX save literal TONS of fuel if I were able to limit my jumps to 20ly. I already set the cargo slider to max all the time but that doesn't do much even with my 64t cargo space : /
I'm also gonna be looking forward to the fuelscoop mods, but it'll be a while until I can get those, both because the update isn't here yet and for another because I'm still far away (for my terms anyways) from the bubble.

Not blind - In what should have been a simple code change, I managed to this up.
In Beta-5, only systems with a state (famine, war, boom etc) will show the star class too. In Beta-6, all will be working as intended.
As a fellow developer, who - regardless of how much due care I take - mucks things up on a regular basis, I salute thee!

Curious and hopeful about this.

The screw-up fairies are very cruel indeed, I often entertain their visits...

Taking quick peek at ship transfer costs in Beta 5...
Lakon Type 9, parked 95 LY away from my current location. Sale price is 93.8MCR. Transfer will cost 3,500,000 CR to get it shipped to me.
Cobra Mk IV, parked 122 LY away from my current location. Sale price is 11.9MCR. Transfer will cost 580,000 CR to get it shipped to me.
Given there is now a delivery delay (which, I must say, is very neatly presented), I'd be happy to see transfer costs moved somewhat lower than this.

I am excited to see the changes coming soon and love reading the beta patch notes! TY FDev and beta-testing CMDRs o7.
Is there a reason the reboot option was removed from fighters? The thrusters on these things are very flimsy and I have had to reboot to get the fighter moving again a few times now due to random lucky railgun shots.

Yes, I think this deserves some attention. It doesn't seem realistic. It needs to take into consideration the time needed for a player to pick the ship him/herself compared to the time needed (in average) to earn those credits. And since there is waiting time, the cost should be lower than that average.
My intention to advocate wait times was not only due for the whole system to be believable, but also to prevent another credit sink. We pay with time, basically.
Let commanders do transfer runs, it would make missions more interesting.
Of course, once and a while the ship would not get to destination, and instead find itself in the nearest chop shop... But in general it would work
The damage increase for plasma accelerators seems insignificant, hopefully new engineer upgrades help.
Nice analysis of the FSD UI there +rep
Hopefully the devs will overhaul the UI at some point because it's getting very cluttered as your screenshot illustrates.
Hi, worth noting that on the latest patch the ships are now full cost, not 10% as usual with the beta. Is this purposeful? I didn't see it mentioned on the update. In addition I noticed a couple of interesting things:
- - - - - Additional Content Posted / Auto Merge - - - - -
Sorry about that... won't TAB again.
The interesting things I noticed were:
- Got stuck in hyperspace indefinitely. I didn't exit and my wi-fi connection was good. Wasn't a computer freeze, it was a game issue and the game didn't pick it up as an error
- Ships are now full price in the ship yards (not 10%)
- Autodock for the Beluga Liner gets stuck occasionally when landing on planetary stations. It just hangs, you need to re-take control and then pass back to autopilot
I hope this feedback helps. I wonder if anyone else has noticed any of these.

Thanks. I don't blame them though, the game's UI is doing things that approach the complexity of a general purpose UI toolkit, but attaining the flexibility and efficiency of design and implementation that those have specialised in for years is unlikely. Absent those, making sweeping changes gets expensive and prone to causing regressions.
Is there any way to access the vulture ship kit mentioned in the notes?
Huh, didn't realise how annoying that black bar in outfitting actually was until it was removed
OK, I'll admit I'm stumped as to what this black bar which has cursed people's lives is. Can anyone help out with a screenshot??
(genuinely curious, and not having a dig as I suspect I'll find it irritating too, once I've noticed it...)
