Patch Notes Update Beta 3.9 Change log

[IceViper]

Omg, its huge again. Can't wait!

My girlfriend said!

 

[Hap]

Amazing amount of changes

Now it sounds selfish but having read through I'm not sure if there is something about the issues people were getting with stutter in SC near planets, when being interdicted or coming out of FS?

Anyone see anything?

 

[strangerdanger]

Those additions are frankly, underwhelming, and less than I had expected.

Michael, I really hope that means nicer transition from supercruise to starport.

Didn't you say we'd get wings with this update? And background sim? Guess who's wrong.

 

[Amiga]

Mission will stay when we log off and log on?? I could't find it...

 

[TotemicWeevil]

Holy cr*p! That's a heck of a lot of tweaks and updates - thanks guys!

 

[Saw1967]

Nice work guys

 

[Belisarius]

So, has the bug been fixed where doing Planet discoveries + Detail Scans of Planets in a system in one run (and selling the data afterwards)
results in less money being awarded than doing a planet discovery rund (then sellign the data) + doing a detail scan run afterwards (and selling the detail scan data)?

 

[CrazyDanStarman]

Cant wait to fly to mars an look for lifeforms

 

[Martin1956]

Fab,

Don't think I will keep track of them all to try to test them out.....

There are plenty of gems buried in amongst the things I don't understand rofl

 

[Sterlino]

When leaving supercruise safely at a station, ring or asteroid cluster (notably, not interdiction), use an 8km arrival zoom

p.s. unless i misunderstood its meaning...

 

[Robonator]

Oh damn, this is one of the longest changelogs i have ever seen!

 

[Marak]

WOW!!! Don't you guys ever sleep??

 

[Kepler]

Amazing !!!!!!!

 

[rupok]

I had my doubts but this list is extensive. Love you FD

 

[Majere]

I just tried to connect and it says "Your client is too new" - I guess it is coming....

 

[Dave1235]

I'm intrigued by this...but ill find out soon enough

Quote from Wiki:
"A greeble or nurnie is a fine detailing added to the surface of a larger object that makes it appear more complex, and therefore more visually interesting. It usually gives the audience an impression of increased scale. The detail can be made from simple geometric primitives (such as cylinders, cubes, and rectangles), or more complex shapes, such as pieces of machinery (sprockets, cables, tanks). Greebles are often present on models or drawings of fictional spacecraft or architectural constructs in science fiction and are used in the movie industry (special effects)."

Shame. I was hoping baked greebles were some sort of in flight snack.

Did Wiki mention what gas mark you needed to bake them on or how you can "bake" a "simple geometric primitives" .

 

[ShottyMonsta]

So, what's the TLR regarding network performance increases?

Didn't you say we'd get wings with this update? And background sim? Guess who's wrong.

The events and missions are all part of the background sim. With more to come.

No wings I'm afraid.

- When requesting docking, have a station respond with a greeting based on the faction's standing with the player

Oh, this is very nice. I love all the little details they are adding in.

 

[Druid]

Some good stuff . No multiplayer support still . Getting seriously worried that this is just going to be an online solo game.

Still, will be interesting to try this itteration.
