Holy Cow! Even a quick skim of this changelog has a whole bucket full of 'awesomes' !

nice spot!
I've got no problems for bigger and wider bounties for murdering players and not NPC's. Player killing always has larger consequences than killing NPC's so that should be reflected in how it is dealt with.
No one cares if you kill 100 NPC's but the impact of killing 100 players is much greater.
In game human pilots are members of the pilots federation, while NPC's are not fully. So you would expect "team killing" to carry higher punishments.
The only PvP it will affect is non consensual player murder. Turning crimes off or duelling in anarchy wont trigger it.
The net effect will be to make anarchy more dangerous and pirates more careful about shooting out modules.
Good change imo, doesn't quite go far enough but it's a start.

+1 want to know too
No planetary waypoints? Seriously?
If this is not a glitch that's a bad move...
Synthesise heat sinks and chaff?! Aww c'mon lol....
Hi Dom, will there be any better notification systems for follow-on missions?
Not so sure actually. I mean it's probably a glitch but if it isn't, I wouldn't mind, myself.
Just another reason to double check your contact scan before opening fire given the extra bounties payable, and so on..
You do need to 'gather materials' though, not everyone's fav cup o tea with engineers and .. would you prefer to keep the mats, for an engineer (tbc) .. ??

Szenario: Faction a and faction B are at war in a system under control of A. Player 1 is allied with faction A, player 2 with faction B. Player 2 enters the system and player 1 decides to intercept & manages to down player 2.
As it is now player 1 will receive a bounty and 'wanted'-status from the faction he's actually allied with. That's very bad gamedesign already, however, with this new mechanism in place will player 1 now receive a rebuy-malus and a pilot's federation bounty IN ADDITION because they comitted the crime of defending their faction against a known enemy?
Or is there an 'exception'-mechanism in place to prevent the new C&P system from making 'faction-in-game-PvP' (as opposed to 'arranged, out-of-game PvP' for contests, ladders etc.) even less attractive than it currently is?
Should be relevant to powerplay as well.

When was the save point for this beta? Either it's more than 3 weeks old, or my ship has been moved (and not to the last station I was parked at I don't think).
Also - have the UP and UA been renamed - I have "Thargoid Probe" and "Thargoid Sensor" in my inventory.
In fact I suspect my ship has been moved on purpose since I was around the Merope area all the time since I had a UP in my hold and I'm now in Arque.

Forget all the listed stuff in the changelog. They have finally fixed the marker mouse select bug in the Galactic map from the 2.3 beta Yay
Not only marker select but selecting non marked stars further out is smooth as before 2.2 (IIRC) again !!
Nearly every contact in that pic was a real CMDR all seeing the same thing, my guess is it's intentional. Reckon it'll generate some salt around here for sure.
It's available.
Very astute observation. Would appreciate a response from FDev on this as it seems so obvious that it can't possibly have been overlooked however this is FDev we're talking about...

Hopefully they've hidden the bandwidth monitor too....
I think its fair that players can blend in with the crowd, or at least make it an optional toggle. Its not hard to spot players especially in super cruise anyway.
I've been asking for this change i think since Beta!
