Just to play devil's advocate I don't think my pirate-hunting ship should have been fined for firing at a pirate-ship and then gain a reward [for destroying the pirate-ship] and a bounty on my ship...some of the logic in Elite is creative

Not necessarily however not everyone thinks Mr Gecko was right.
I'm starting to feel really bitter I was automatically upgraded to this defective piece of software. And I have more colorful metaphors to describe V3 which will probablybe censored
Nothing broken there... If you travel at nearly 1000c don't expect to see any signals as the game spawns them way way ahead to compensate for your speed, but you can't see anything further than 1000ls. It has always been this way.
Ahh the joy of upgrades. Suddenly the heatsinks have decided randomly to not fire at all...kindof irritating when your ship is heating up in a combat. Also any pirate-hunting contracts that have been completed...if I log out of the game entirely overnight and return to it the next day...all those completed contracts are deleted the next time I login so I can't hand in anything in exchange for rewards.
There was also a problem retrieving market data on the commodities screen but that seems to have been fixed.

You're flying way too fast.
USS spawn at a multitude (I think ~15x) of your speed and get a lateral/vertical offset that also depends on your Speed Vector.
Fly at 30km/sec and you'll see Signal Sources popping up around ~4500km ahead of you and very close to your flight path.
Fly at 10c and you'll see them at ~150Ls and possibly at the edges of your field of view.
Fly at 100c and you'll see them.. a few seconds later, since they're invisible until they're within 1000Ls. Very likely to see them with a significant lateral/vertical offset then.
Fly at 500c... and they might spawn >1000Ls away from your Flight Path and at >7000Ls Distance. And that means you'll potentially never pick them up in the NAV Panel.
(slim chance if you slow down to ~50c and wait 30-45sec, sometimes they pop up when momentarily within 1000Ls).
IMHO ~100c is about the max. speed you'd want to ever have hunting USS. 10c should be far more comfy and it takes less time to reach them once they spawn.

I played this game to explore the '400 Billion Star Systems - Infinite Freedom - Blaze Your Own Trail' thing, but eventually lost interest in the jump - scoop - PONG - check System Map - jump - scoop - PONG - check System Map gameplay.
Still, I thought I'd check out the Big Update. And now I see that there's absolutely nothing in it for explorers. Oh wait, the colour palette of landable planets is wider now. Absolutely nothing in it for explorers in terms of gameplay then. Not one single new feature that I can actually use out in the uncharted Galaxy.
I've lost interest.

Did you miss the stuff about Q4?!?!
New update: I can no longer login!!!! I am only being offered "play demo" hahahahahahaha
No I haven't missed the stuff about Q4 because Q4 hasn't happened yet. After over two years since Horizons of waiting for significant improvements to exploration gameplay, I've lost all enthusiasm for updates and find it impossible to expect Q4 to be the ground-breaking Galactic exploration adventure some backers have been waiting for since AD1984, that Q4 is going to have to be for it to rekindle my interest.
I tell you what, whilst Beyond Q1 has discouraged me, I will make the last 30 jumps to the next Stage in my Galactic Circumnavigation and update my blog here: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...winder-Mk-I-Galactic-Circumnavigation-Attempt, if anyone's still interested.
