Before the update i was playing at reduced resolution with medium settings. After the update i turned on my native resolution with all high and increased performance
-Stuttering when cruising near planets is significantly improved
-Performance near big stations is way better
-Some sound issues i used to have when exiting the station, vanished
-Stuttering when facing planets, also vanished
-I also believe that cruising has become faster and more efficient than before
All in all, well done

10000% sure.
You said "options are always good", like it was either akin to a Law of Thermodynamics, or alternatively something that sounds like it might be true until you think about it a bit. I went with the latter hypothesis. As for your idea of Supercruise control being better, we'll have to ignore all those things that only occur in Supercruise like scooping, exploration scanning, interdiction, unidentified signal sources...I guess you'll be the guy rushing back from the loo just in time to see your ship being popped like a kernel of corn by anyone who isn't AFK.
So great multiplayer features and wings are just a few months out from the initial release? Perfect, there should be around 500 people playing by then consistently.
Mercenary Edition..........any news?
Might have been mentioned before.
"As you all know we’re also working on paid expansions for the game and these will have their own beta periods as well, we’ll again make details available of how this will work as we near their release."
Does this mean as an Alpha backer I still have to pay for future expansions??

I'd be interested to know how 'comms' as they are presently represent a form of 'Bait and Switch' as you call it?

Dear Michael, lighten up on the date of Russian localization. All Russian-speaking community is very interested in this information. Thank you.
TBH .. For me the most important thing to add is the ability be be able to move my fleet of ships around (not instantaneous of course, but the ability) ...
I will be brutally honest I personally dont care about wings myself ...

The latest sabotage by Frontier of Slopey's BPC tool is immature and stupid.
It is no more than the facilities that might be provided by a newspaper's business page and it is free to anyone who cares to use it.
ED will not be the first popular game to go under because of these petty childish antics by the developers.

What? .. Take a chill pill ...
Yes I am.
Slopey's does nothing that should not just be in the god damn game, and nothing they change can stop Slopeys, it would work even without current system info. They can't stop EliteOCR without making everything looking like a captcha.
Thrudds is also completely delinked from the game.
I take it that it's not as 'hackable' as EVE. IIRC the Russian community in EVE added their own localization very early on o7
While I understand that line of reasoning it doesn't leave much headroom: 4 or 5 weeks where 2 or more patches are needed and that schedule has run out of space.This is in no way important in any way whatsoever...BUT, I assume this will never really come up.
I don't really expect to see more than 9 minor patches between each major one.
Based on previous experience they often release a major build and then quickly follow it up with a couple of quick patches during the first week, but since this now will happen during the short Beta phase this won't transfer over to the main build. After that first week I don't really expect more than 1 patch a week (if even that). Thus giving them roughly two months before the numbers "run out" and by that time I expect that the next major build will already be available.
I get that this is a version number for consumer consumption, so it can be called anything ("1.05 patch 1" or "1.05.1" for example). The real important numbers are those on the launcher at the bottom left and noticeably don't have any link to consumer version number system.
So I've probably answered my own idle question, but having seen funny things happen with version numbers in software this one has set off my "twitch" mode.
Thanks for taking the time to answer.
As an Alpha backer you got the lifetime expansion pass. So no.
