Elite Dangerous: Ascendancy | Now Live!

hi Paul, sorry to bother since obviously u guys are busier than a brain-tree in bloom , but it would appear the following statement from the Patch Notes doesn't apply anymore.... "The "tick" will still occur on Thursdays, meaning the first Powerplay turn will be relatively short but the process will return to a full week's gains moving forward." ... because the update was delayed so it ended up falling on today a THURSDAY anyway?

i'm guessing most of the Patch Notes were written already in preparation for a previously planned Tuesday rollout?
The notes were dated for the 22nd which was the original planed release date before the partners broke everything revealed issues.
 
Maybe the wiki pulled that date out of its . On the Frontier Unlocked on wednesday they said 28th of November. I don't remember if there was ever a confirmed official date before.
 
Can you buy it for ingame credits? For some reason I can, and I didnt notice oher prebought ships sell for ingame credits after you buy them for arc before
Buying the ship for Arx gets you early access which means you can buy other standard ones for credits in the game after you have deployed your Arx bought ship.
At least that’s how it was working for my Python. MkII

It does so for the Mandalay too. I bought the stellar version for the ship kit, and that also unlocked it in the shipyard in addition to the stellar and standard prebuild I can deploy.
 
Where shipyard STATION have u guys been 'deploying' the newly purchased new Mandalay ship? ( on 1st deployment i mean )
Obviously i can just do it directly from my own Fleet Carrier right now, but i typically prefer deploying ( initially ) from an actual space station, like at 'i Sola Prospect' for example, because it's easier to buy a few ship-parts like armoring & such there immediately. ( re: standard version, not stellar )

Reason i'm asking is because i logged out on my FC last nite before the big patch and now the system i'm in has....changed. :eek:

Nakato Kaine users can't rank-up, because of no acquisition systems. Can I ask God's hands?

Now we have acquisition system!

I've been throwing out some hatred (in the form of class 4 multicannons) against pirates in a high res, their bounties don't look changed out here. If you get shot at by a clean NPC and crime reporting subsequently marks them as wanted, however, bounties would be quite low even before PP2.0.

Oh, and I'm also quite happy to find that wingmates no longer wait to shoot until their lead is down.
Ah - perhaps just a Nav Beacon vs Haz RES issue … I don’t usually do the former … will do some proper bounty hunting in a RES tomorrow and confirm!
 
It would be great if the update completed. Launcher hanging indefinitely after downloading all files.
The launcher is notoriously bad at displaying download/installation progress. Most often even though it looks like it's not doing anything, it is actually doing stuff, and you simply have to wait.

(If it says that the download/installation failed, that's another issue which has its own fix usually.)
 
7. The powerplay screen when you first pledge is messed up in VR. The foreground screen overlaps with the background screen. You can still read everything, thankfully, but it doesn't look good at all.
I can confirm that this is unpleasant to look at 😅

Obligatory issue report for anyone who wishes to add confirmations:

Edit: …and another VR specific issue related to Power Play spotted by @Helmut Grokenberger and just checked by me - if you go on the Galaxy map and open up the Power Play tab on a system, then try to select the Strategic view button in the lower right of the tab, it causes an immediate CTD. If any other VR users could please check and add their confirmations to the report, that would be cool:

Well now i'm wondering if perhaps my earlier post you quoted was totally wrong correction on my part , since i just got an ingame mail saying "Powerplay CYCLE imminent" and the PP2.0 main pledge screen shows in upper left corner "Powerplay cycle ENDS in: 0 hours, 0 minutes" . :confused:

So i guess it is indeed one day slightly off cuz of patch day. -- My mistake , @Paul_Crowther ! o7

Let me get this right, if I go and pay the required arx for a Mandalay it will be available in my carrier while I am currently 20k ly out??

After you have purchased it, you can deploy it in any station that has a shipyard (after which it gets added to your stored ships). Granted, I don't know if this includes fleet carrier shipyards, but I would guess so.
 
Certainly only a minor detail, not functional and only a question of aesthetics: These new power signs in stations in controlled systems look very artificial, IMHO. Other design elements fit in organically and the new signs look like they have been ‘plastered on’ to have a place for the Power logo somewhere. - Is it just me?
