Same here No pew pew after work...

Well i just waited and the start button finally went white, instead of red but it still says unknown.
also i had to wait a long time on the spinning ship icon.
Looks like the connections are unreliable or the servers are having problems

why are the servers still offline? wasnt it a real small update?

Starender · Jun 9, 2015

great fixes, one more thing Michael, isn't it better to make ranking mission to always appear if we have the necessary reputation ?

It's only reset if your rank suddenly dropped to zero, or shot up for no reason.

Michael,
Could this have been triggered by Commander data not completely loading? On Saturday I logged in and played for a bit and was dropped to the main menu due to a connection error. When I logged back in all my PF ranks were at 0 and I was neutral with all factions with no ranks. I logged out and back in again and that was resolved. I went on playing and ranked up twice in Imperial ranks to Duke. Today I logged in and found myself back to Earl. Due to a server disconnection/data load error that was beyond my control I've now lost two ranks, that doesn't seem correct.

So you can check with customer service and they can investigate. However the progress values weren't reset - just the ranks so you should get the promotions pop up again fairly quickly.

Michael

So the new missions aren't harder you just need more of them?
I don't really care if I'm a Prince or a Baron, I don't think I need a higher rank to buy any of the ships.

Will there be a time when other players can see your rank, or have a decal for the rank?

just be patient with the bulletin board. I had 2 failures to connect to the server. The bulletin board has come to life now. well its working now
You should try and play it on a train with their WIFI.

Yes same for me now. Ships is spinning around..but nothing happens. I guess we have to wait longer.

- Massacre missions should now payout correct reward
- Removed redundant TimeLeft element from Abandon Branch ship panel
- Reduced NPC Messenger spawn chance
- Various text fixes

I took mission to kill bounty hunters in 1.3.01 for ~673k. I had around 15.533.000 Cr. Now I have 15.683.000 Cr. Nice fixing

Sayuuk · Jun 9, 2015

Thanks for the free demotion... finally have the rank of NONE of the empire...

Benjiro Kohara · Jun 9, 2015

Was about to report about my struggles to log in to game, only to find that I'm not alone here...

Ben Ryder · Jun 9, 2015

Hello Ed,

Just a suggestion. How about giving folk who lost rank, one rank back and some credits for each rank lost. Say a million per rank? That should keep customers happy or at least quiet

jou84 · Jun 9, 2015

Oh dear, silly impatient me. I am stuck in frame shift drive (long enough to find the forum and type)...

Temple604 · Jun 9, 2015

I did about 10 missions since 1.3 for rank update and finally got it right before the last patch. Now I am demoted

DatJames · Jun 9, 2015

Finally in...And as I feared... Goodbye 7 Empire Ranks and 6 Fed....I will admit I got my Empire ranks doing Fed missions and vise versa but I still did all 13 missions -.-

EDIT: Paha I just realized im now 1 rank under the needed for Fed dropship but I bought it when I could...Wonder if I can still fly...Lets see

Are we ever going to get official word that the repair and integrity costs are going to be looked at?

1.3 really seems to me to be a "rushed before E3" release along with the "fixes".

I'm hoping they pull their fingers out and we're not left with the game like this until 1.4. I'd have rather they delayed 1.3 til after E3, extended the beta until then and done it properly. What's the point of the beta bug forum if half of them are still in release along with a bunch of new ones?

Jobabor · Jun 9, 2015

Finally after 40 hours!! Now i can play later when i'm off work. Thank you!!!

When are you fixing the limpet bugs I reported all the way back in 1.3 (BETA3) ?

The limpet bugs have been fixed already in the release of 1.3.

The cause of the error has already been fixed, this is dealing with those players who lost some of their data because of it and close will be as close as we can safely make it with should be within your last 5 jumps.

Michael

This is a really important piece of information! Thanks!
