Notice Clipper Ship Kit Issue

[Captain Willard]

These are some things that just shouldn't happen.

What has a cosmetic ship kit to do with hyperspace travel? Or in other words, how can a damn visual asset influence the borked net-spaghetti-code? I am by no means a 3+ years experienced net architect dev but I'd carefully state that there is something flawed at the fundamental level of the codebase.

I did find it rather odd that so many things broke on the patch that were so disjointed and disconnected from each other.

o7 @Stephen Benedetti
i have a Cutter WITHOUT ship kit, and very frequently he refuse to jump and i have to "help" it with a boost...

Edit: Ignore I didn't notice that you were talking about the king of drifting the Cutter.

You want them to remove the mission board and the Xbox?

Joking, joking.

Yes both is overkill, when fault finding only shutdown one subsystem at a time.

Just checked the store. There's no ship kit for the imperial clipper. What is this topic about?

Taken from the first post where the topic is defined.

" In order to prevent anyone else from experiencing this, we have temporarily removed it from the store."

It being the Imperial Clipper ship kit.

Outstanding QA as always, FDev!

And so typical how fast this gets fixed, shipkits means money.
This while I can hardly play on the Xbox due to a broken missions board, commodity market and horrible screen tearing.
Priorities........

What are you talking about - they removed it, it's not fixed ...

And they're planning to fix the missions in the next release along with the kit ....

 

[Rebel Yell]

Wait... a kit for the Clipper? Fancy a pic?

Yeah the fixed kit will be in the 2nd September patch, where did you read that the missions board will be fixed too in that patch?
If that's true then I stand partially corrected, I didn't read anything about a fix for the screen tearing on Xbox either.

i never tought that the drifting could be responsible for that, i'll do tests
thanks

A ship kit preventing hyperjump? Looks like one of those "interesting" bugs.

Yes we should question the designer of this kit.

 

[Patrick_68000]

Woah.

If there's a 1001 way to break the game, you can count on FD to invent 1002th.

A goddamn shipkit prevents ship from jumping.

Seriously?

SERIOUSLY????

For the moment it is only the Clipper.

 

[Patrick_68000]

How is that even possible?

We must first find the bug to answer your question.

Yeh, it's renowned for it.

 

[Bob McBobblehead]

I take it people that bought the ship kit they can't use yet will not be compensated by getting a free unique Imperial Clipper paint job?

 

[Patrick_68000]

Cosmetics, pay to win, pay to lose, that's the question.

Buy it, and Raxxla will be yours. Post-patch, that is.

Surely the Clipper is purely made for basking, and the ship kit helps you bask better.

So just find a nice place to bask, fit the kit, and bask. No need to jump anywhere.

 

[Skip Rockbounder]

Surely the Clipper is purely made for basking...

No, the Clipper is made for Exploration and visiting backwoods communities and impressing the hell out of them... "bow down to the Empire, for we are allowing you to gaze upon our splendour... and bring gold!"

Maybe its getting fixed because it is very easy to fix. The other fixes may take longer as they maybe a bit more complex.

Just a wild guess.
