Patch Notes Update CQC Update (1.4) Beta Build #2 Incoming

Tbh complaints about CQC items appearing in game I can understand but they seem quite minor. Especially compared to something like the wording of all galnet articles relating to powerplay which constantly scream: "You are playing a a game and you need X points to keep playing a game!"
Looking forward to 1.4 when it comes out of beta

I see this somewhat differently. I'm looking forward to CQC and I expect to enjoy it - but having said that, I agree that the CQC status is out of place with the Elite rankings.
However you look at CQC, as an integral part of the game or as a arcadey add-on to comfort console owners, it is essentially a sport, for entertainment, and its not (IMHO) what the Pilot's Federation is all about, and as such, the ranking should be displayed separately.
I understand FD want to shout CQC's praises from the rooftops and perhaps deservedly so, but I think they should show a little more restraint. The Commander's bridge is holy ground, its the player's man-cave, or lady cave - it should be sacrosanct- it is not Hyping-space (see what I did there?)
Similarly, I find it difficult to navigate news now, without being bombarded with Powerplay data, and wish this information which I have no interest in was more of a distinct entity.
Hi Audio Devs,
From the long changelog:
Does this mean that we're no longer limited to 44.1KHz? SHould we try other samplerates as well to see if the crackling has disappeared?
What are your recommendations and current findings?
Thanks!

The fed assault ship appears to cost 3M credits, so it's a little difficult to test out. Is that intentional?
Sticking with my Asp, gaining heat due to weapons fire appears to be quicker (possibly too quick). Though I've been out in the depths of space for a long time, so that may have been an earlier game change.
Seeing the same 10CR repair outstanding issue as others.

Where is my proposed bar to show the "overall" position. ie: Showing where "Master" actually is in the bigger picture? (Note vertical bar right of Elite ranking image)

Err, the audio's native sample rate is 48KHz. Some time ago, MB said we should use that in Windows' audio config to avoid low quality resampling...

That's useful info, thanks!
I always have this problem, i'm not playing on the beta, i'm still on 1.3, can't repair the paint job, it's like 10cr, but i can't pay it.
As well, i need to desactivate orbit line everytime i have to log (the game doesn't remember i turned it off on a previous session)
Aside those minors problems, i'm very pleased with all the new stuff you guys put into the game !
I read somewhere that it is possible to go to CQC in-game and you don't need to use the main menu to join it. Going there to do some PVP is more immersive than just going by the main menu. Is this true or i'm complety wrong ?
so iw was wondering if the rank requirements for the federal sips was out yet, i flew the dropship mark 2 but it didnt have a posted rank yet.

Going per current beta release - you're completely wrong.
Can you help me understand the thinking behind this change before it goes live.
Isn't this change taking the strategy out of the back ground simulation?
I don't see any benefit from this, apart from allow NPC to go nuts over the galaxy.
- Wars between non-controlling factions are allowed and will co-incide with scenarios generated by the controlling minor's state

how long might us normal users wait until CQC is out? I want to send some CMDRS to the void already :L
(Also, what about combat logging in cqc?)

Based on comments from MB here on the forum the Beta testing will run for two weeks, with an open 'gamma' style stress test period to follow that.
Based on an answer given by DB over on the Reddit AMA, expected release date on Xbox is 6 October, with PC/Mac being on or close to that date, though that would appear to be a 'hoped for but tentative' release date.
Edited:
DB also mentioned on the AMA that they're working on dealing with combat loggers, and he even expressed an opinion that they (FDev) need to be stricter with CLoggers.

The private Beta will be 2 weeks followed by a public stress testing period before it goes fully live. (See today's Dev Update and follow up comment by Michael Brookes.)
David Braben has also done an AMA today where he stated their goal for the Xbox One launch date is 6th October 2015 and they have gone on record in the past to state 1.4 will go live on the same day as the Xbox One launch. With the current information we have it's looking like:
- Private Beta (1st September 2015 - 14th September 2015).
- Open Stress Testing (15th September 2015 - 5th October 2015).
- 1.4 goes live / Xbox One version goes on general release (6th October 2015).
So it's currently looking like a 5 week process in total.

Interesting. It's going to be pretty busy then from October until the year-end, as we'll have 3 major releases in less than 3 months.
I'd guess Ships might need a huge beta period, if it's primarily just the addition of the new ships. They're quite easy to test with a small QA team, in comparison to testing changes to the sim or networking code etc. But you'd expectHorizons would need a long Beta period, and that's also due this year.
Muchos gracias rootrat . .. with your help I managed to find it.......maybe instructions could be provided by FD next time ?
