Elite Dangerous: Ascendancy | Now Live!

Don't mind the system tab. Do mind that the all transaction tab has gone. I don't even understand why they might remove it. Its not like it was causing a problem or anything.
To make room for the poweplay weekly tasks. Obviously having a scroll down was a problem? /shrug
 
What's funny, is that it may not have actually been removed on purpose. So much as changes to that panel may have just caused the summary to be removed from the UI (by virtue of it falling outside the frame). Not everything Frontier does is designed to annoy players. Sometimes it just happens naturally.

To be kind, the update itself is pretty good. There's always some casualties, tho, from patch to patch.
 
The added System tab is annoying and not very useful, when I want to quickly move from the Contacts tab to the Navigation tab, I have to press two times on the RB button of my controller instead of one time.
Think about it like this:

If the tab had always been there from the very beginning, then most certainly you wouldn't be complaining about it. You would just have gotten completely used to it. Moreover, if they decided to remove it with this update after all these years, it's very likely you would be complaining about that.

It's sometimes useful to think about changes that you object to in that manner. "If this had been like this from the very beginning, would I now be complaining about it? Would it actually bother me? Would I complain now if the change had been in the other direction?"
 
Ok, this is strange. I was doing some stuff, and getting notified that i was earning merits. Especially from bounties, but also from scanning ships.

Looked at my rank, and it still showed rank 0 with 0 merits.

Is it borked in some way, or do i need to go somewhere to claim the merits earned?
 
Oh, and FD finally fixed a long standing bug!

You know how you used to be able to attack a wing leader in a kill pirate mission and his wing wouldn't turn hostile until you killed them? Nope, FD fixed that now. The whole wing now turns hostile immediately.

While I do appreciate FD fixing bugs, why, out of the many bugs to fix, why this one? I used to love exploiting that one. Oh well...

That one bit me hard. Wasn't paying attention and got hammered.
Still glad they fixed it :)
 
Even if by intent there shall be no influence of non-pledged CMDRs on PP I'd vote for being able to push back a power from an exploited system even without being pledged to any power.

You need to fulfill your 5 weekly tasks before your merits count.
 
What the actual...?!

Which absoloute......

I better leave it there before i post something that will get me banned.
You know that set of tutorial screens when you pledge that everyone skips and you can't see again? Maybe we should read them after all ;)

It appears so AND no worries, the points you earn will still count toward leveling and be applied as soon as you do the first trainer set.

That's a relief. It would take me a few hours to get through the tasks and it was required weekly, would probably take most of my weekly play time.
 
It looks like there is an issue with powerplay decals. It was not awarded to me (I'm rank 8 already) and some other players I asked about. No ticket in the tracker either. Can you please confirm is this a known bug?
