Nav's are *not* redundant. In my play time on beta so far the nav beacons are super useful for quickly locating all USS immediately in a system. It's a lot faster than using the FSS to locate them meaning that under the new system the engineering grind is getting way easier.

Looks good overall, but...
Dang it. There's too few dedicated exploration tools as it is. Now there's even fewer interesting outfitting decisions to make for the explorer.

Any sign of fixes for Multi-crew FSS and DSS
Oh! Inclusive.

Already did so last week. I was just hoping so much that this issue would be fixed quickly. Alas, better luck next patch, I hope.

So, this is great, but I had issues with the FSS background in VR at all zoom levels, not just intermediate. Hopefully this is just an incomplete note, rather than the weird divergence/distance issues with the FSS not being completely fixed.

I don't understand why you would feel this way? Making the FSS/Disco Scanner built in to all ships means *everyone* from all walks of life get more versatility. It also means its easier to have exploration capable small ships and those explorers in ships with enough exploration modules can now justify carrying more survival or support based equipment like repair and fuel transfer limpets.

Looks very promising, especially the VR bugfixes - besides the exciting new features of course. Looking forward to jump into Beta 2.
Thank you very much and o7.

They mean the word immersion.

Noooo, what have you done?
Now I have to take each single one of my ships and fly to Shinrarta Dezhra in order to fill this free slot with ... what? A detailed scanner? A docking computer?
The GRIND will kill me!
FDev simply doesn't honor my play-time!
And the refund is absurd, too!
Now I'll make more credits with a single patch while being docked than in two hours killing ships in a CZ!
Can you bother with the game's balance not even once, FDev?
Jesus!
Agreed. As an explorer, I'd like to see more speciality for ships, but not total unification.Looks good overall, but...

What changes have been made to the HYS cannon? This actually came by surprise to me.
pretend you only have 2 slots then.
the rest of us will enjoy this wonderful gift.
solved
I've made a post in the feed back forum asking this too.
I use them on my mining/trade vessels after dropping an enemy's shields. A great weapon!
Not really, they give you everything immediately, instead of having to scan the system manually.
Definately a point to them, I'll use them I'm sure.
Is the beta actually out now then?
Making the scanner a mod is great. The only issue I can see with it is for those already out in the black hauling around an empty slot for 20k LY. No biggie but you know somebody is gonna go all tin-foil hat on it.
I actually cheered when I read that.
Thank you FD, that's such a useful change for small ships.
Ahem, Any chance the Diamondback Scout could get 1 more slot to make it a truly useful explorer. Pretty please?
And the VR bugfixes, great stuff
