Where is the german translation?
What is about the german translation? Why does it always take so long and even then it is anything but good - why?

I'm still stumbling around in a daze trying to take in everything from the initial beta.
And there's already been this many updates to it?
I worry about you guys - it sometimes feels like you've been running white-hot updating the game since the first release in 2014.
Absolutely incredible job. It's hard to even give feedback with so much coming at once. There's a thousand tiny things - have the cockpits been improved somehow as well? Everything seems sharper - the stippled faux-leather plastic materal in my Cobra Mk III looks so real it's a little frightening. That's not even to mention the planet surface improvements. I don't even know what to say about those because my eyes still well up when I fly down to a planet and it feels like I'm sitting in a photograph.
The traffic control at ports and stations is simply perfect. I remember the discussions about this and the primary problem with trying to implement it being repetition. I remember thinking 'yeah, if it's the same thing every time that'll get old fast' ("FREELANCER ALPHA ONE DASH ONE"). And none of us had any idea that you listened, went away, and started trying to solve it, taking your time, working it out and then recording... and oh god, I love the solution. Different voices for different places, related to the faction. And then instead of a single canned response, a series of generated phrases that can be strung together, recorded so they can mix and match in different ways, called in at certain points depending on context and responding to pilot action. It's like a kind of procedural generation for voice audio. It's such a beautiful elegant solution, and so... Elite.
I'm one of those weird people who always loved the missions and how they were tied to the background sim. It's primarily how I play the game - found a home system (well, found three before and decided to change each time), and decided who I was doing work for. The missions and the NPCs now are just fantastic. I did my first base attack a few days ago, and it was ridiculous hair-raising fun. Everything about how things tie in even more strongly to the BGS just bring it to life.
To everyone at Frontier - thank you.
PS I didn't realise that Ed tried to follow me when I bombed the stream... that was a modified racing Courier (nothing like as fast as some others have made it though!)... I feel bad that he crashed following down that canyon ;-;

wow... kool.. great work guys n gals... been playing tonight with the heaters... (thermal shock, and thermal vents... brilliant stuff they really do change the fight and the NPC AI... fantastic honestly... much better fights... also the system security responses at least at the nav point I have been engaging pirates in, seem to be pretty good so far and not too over the top nor too lax (in a medium security system)
Now I am thinking about resetting my save and seeing how they are as a 'newbie'

Ah, I was supposed to get work done today! Amazing stuff and 2.1 is awesome so far!
I love the improved asteroid rendering, so I hope the billboard pass won't make things worse again.

Hey this is really
I'd like to mention that the HUGE weapons now clip below the surface on the FDL in the outfitting screen. Not sure if you were aware of it. When they deploy to show you the weapons it'll go through the ground.
"Increased rarity values for ice mining commodities so that ice mining" .. so that what? I think the end fell off
"..so that ice mining is more profitable"
or maybe..:
"..so that ice mining is less profitable"
yeah.. i think one of these

Testing will commence this evening!
Great work lads, i'll post if i find anything awkward,
also i'll look into the missile mods for anti-shield-gen use.
Bobbleheads make sounds?
Asp cockpit Uber-shinyness fixed!
Huge optimisations, my favourite kind. And not just without impact, but without impact whatsoever!
Freefall shepherd? Wassat? Somehow the idea of a shepherd into extreme sports just sounds.... cool. New game idea, accepted.
Couldn't find any fix for the broken ship headlights, pity. I'd have thought that would be some kind of quick "open the model, grab the light source 'handles', rotate it 90 degrees, save. repeat for next ship" change.
thanks guys , i like this a lot
- To help players find crafting resources, UI's displaying Engineer recipes now have a 'tooltip' for each ingredient
- Fixed the 'removed effect' box sometimes not appearing on crafting UI
- Added loc strings for 'Where are my pinned recipes' helper popup
- Added popup explaining where pinned recipes can be found
- Fixed flickering UI when showing engineer popup with a face/text combo
- Added text field to the level progress to describe the unlock condition e.g. "Buy Modifications"
