Discovery Scanner - 23/05/2022

[Zac Cocken]

Greetings Commanders!

This week's Discovery Scanner is now live on the website: https://www.elitedangerous.com/news/discovery-scanner-23052022


---

You may be wondering why the Discovery Scanner is being posted to the website instead of the forums - let's talk about it!

There are a number of reasons why, those being:

• It's much easier to manage from a single location.
• It looks much nicer displayed on our website!
• We want more of you to discover the community section of our website, including the Event Calendar!
• It helps us with translation so that we can reach more Commanders with the post.

You can of course continue to discuss the post as normal in the thread below!

I like how the website has been given more focus on and has grown over the past couple of years. I for one, am behind this decision.

 

[Tyres O'Flaherty]

No FC owners crew knowing who their CMDR is? Boo!

cant wait for update 12 , theres alot of bugs currently every mission you do with a team eventually bugs out probably due to instancing problems , hopefully this is on the list . is this supposed to be called a raid mission ?

• An illegal variant of the Raid mission type.

I thought it was an illegal variant of the defend mission type ?
Either way im excited .

Also posting on the website is great .

So Update 12 is next Tuesday?

Great idea using the website, that way it remains clear of useless comments: Just like my own, naturally!

 

[wanderer between the stars]

full patch notes on release day, which is currently aiming for the end of May.

That is, not again this week...

It's the developers of Elite Dangerous. It's Frontier Developments. They're always dragging it out to the last...

By the way, yes)

Nope, the end of May is next week.

It's OK that the website getting the update, I just hope there are forum posts pointing to the latest discovery scanner in then future.

When they said that the update will be in May, then it was already clear that at the beginning and in the middle of the month to wait for nothing, because they are always and always have problems.

 

[Riverside]

Thanks for recognising that this change needs some explanation Zac

 

[Animage]

Well done frontier, post more nothing in the website that no one uses and pretend not to see what is going on forms cause there is no option to leave comments on the website, genius

 

[WINGBACON]

I bet the forums will be utilized on the website in the future too, right?

 

[HappyMoonMonkey]

Nope, the end of May is next week.

Does this mean Lave Radio gets the scoop this time?

I bet they push it back to 1 June just for you.

 

[Alec Turner]

Like the switch to having the post be on the website - only suggestion would be that the "join the discussion" link at the bottom of that page should maybe point directly to this forum thread?

Lol, Watch out,, probably will change it to first week of June!

 

[Rat Catcher]

Lol, Watch out,, probably will change it to first week of June!

The longer they leave releasing it the less bugs, in theory, it might have...
... and they might even address the issue with stolen goods transfer from FC, or the 32 button limit... (I'm a dreamer, I know!)

 

[amigacooke]

All those irritating consumer comments can be hidden away behind at least two clicks.

Just to note 'bi-weekly' is ambivalent meaning occurring every two weeks or twice a week. Perhaps fortnightly would be clearer?

• We want more of you to discover the community section of our website, including the Event Calendar

Shame Discovery Scanner in the news rather than the community section then and some events in the events calendar might help too.

 

[Giogi]

Everyone is wondering when Update 12 will be available.

 

[Old Duck]

So does this update 12 touch anything in Horizons?

 

[Flimley]

Hooray for everything. \o/
p.s. I never look at the website. Ever.
