I think it means the added paint jobs will be available in the store soon, and the added paint jobs are for all ships bar the Anaconda
Not that all ships get the vibrant paint jobs for free except the Anaconda which will be paid for via the shop

Well im sorry ive i misread but now im confused.

I read this as that they added paintjobs for all ships ingame and will add the one for the Anaconda later in the store for purchase??!!..

Michael?...

Can anyone explain the appeal of paint jobs? When do you get to see the outside of your ship? Maybe there should be an F10 type 'selfie' function for these boy racer types!

I believe that it's the minor faction that the level of affiliation relates to rather than Federation/Empire, but I could well be wrong. If what you say is true then I would file a bug for it, because I'm sure that's not what it should be doing.

Ok but it's not just me it's happening to
And yes i am allied with the minor factions too.
Its frustrating enough having to stop what i'm doing and fly to a station to pay it off as it is without having to potentially jump to further systems as well

Don’t allow NPCs to kill steal by them hitting the powerplant

Thank you sir this makes me very happy.

Grt job FD... update took less than 5 mins to DL

Any update on when the following known issue will be fixed:

Gameplay - No leads to assassination target if mission overwritten by counteroffer

I hate losing out on big kill contracts when this issue comes up

Thanks everyone.

How "soon" is this soon? I wanna be able to paint my Vulture ASAP :3

Ok i now have the Level 2 scans what's a Level 3 scan then?

Genar-Hofoen · Apr 10, 2015

So, I just upgraded and ran ED to look at my (old) exploration stats:

Shows Level 2 scans but no Level 3 detailed scans?

Pretty sure I did a lot of detailed scans in my previous jaunts

shazbot · Apr 10, 2015

Oh Ed, you so dreamy!

willowfan · Apr 10, 2015

Hmm, I'm showing as having done 1,900 Level 2 scans but no Level 3 so L3 can't be anything we can do at present like using a DSS.

Itas a long arguement but what is "immersion breaking" about some one getting upset because YOU shot them. Next time police in your local town are on patrol or arresting someone ans shoot a peashooter at them and claim it was "friendly" see how "immersion brekaing" it is then

As much of the Army Navy and Airforce will attest to

Freindly Fire isnt

This has to be the most irrelevant analogy yet.

its one thing for me to aim a peashooter at a police officer, it's another for me to aim at something else and a police officer jump in front of me.

And speaking of Armed Forces, how about all those "friendly" fire incidents on British troops by the US?
Were we instantly at war?
I must have missed that one

Quineloe · Apr 10, 2015

I made a ticket with the scan coutn being reversed

You mean like Ctrl+Alt+Space?

S.P-A. · Apr 10, 2015

Good for the detailed scan levels 2&3, but I'm pretty sure that there is an inversion

Edit : someone has been faster than me ^^

I wouldn't advise smuggling in a Type 9 - but boosting through the port is doable in the biggest ships - exciting too!

Michael

Is that mean we still can land if we get fine for illegal goods?

I have 17 Level 3 scans. Did you use a detail surface scanner?

Great stuff overall, but what does this line mean?

Exploration stats currently list "level 2" and "level 3" scans with a count of 0 for everyone, and we have been speculating whether that is reserved for future use. It turns out level 2 = regular scan (from unexplored -> basic stats) and level 3 is detailed surface scan (->atmosphere etc.), and the number will now show how many of each you have performed.

I am glad, ED is just a game. I wouldn't like the securities to instantly open fire, when I approach the bank to pay my parking fine / speed ticket.

Check out the debug camera in the control options. You have to set a key for it.

There is exactly that.
The debug camera allows you to view your ship from the outside

Plus some groups/wings like to fly with some colour coordination
