Elite: Dangerous - Bug discussion

Station faction changing "randomly"?

The other day I dropped out of SC at my current "local" outpost and was surprised to find it allied to me. Checked the details and instead of being aligned to the local reigning independent faction it just said "Federation".

Left the instance. Came back. It was back to normal, not allied to me and correctly aligned to the local faction. Did my business at the station (flush, wash hands!) and then as I was leaving the FSD countdown was ticking, 3 ... 2 ... outpost turned green ... 1 ... what the?

I initially put this down to a bug. However, the controlling faction was marked as pending CIVIL UNREST. Was the control of the outpost actually swapping due to the unrest or was it a bug?

If it was a bug, perhaps this could explain some of the weird station deaths that people experience if the station can suddenly ally itself to a faction you're hostile with!

It was happening again last night so I exited the game, started afresh and recorded it.

If it's a bug, confirmation of such would be welcome. If it's by design, we could do with knowing about it

WTB Chaff launcher

Okay so I build up a viper to do some bounty hunting (Don't want to risk my python) went to outfitting and everything I need is there for sale except Chaff launchers ??? Went to three other systems (lave , Leesti etc ) and same story , no chaff launchers . Ummmm have I missed something ? I logged out and in several times and made sure I checked both internal and external hardpoints etc . Ticket raised but still no response from my other ticket (2 months old) so hoping somebody has (helpful) suggestions .

Oh and still getting displaced by about 30 Ls when I submit to an interdiction .

Oh and why no furry things that multiply in your cargo bay like in original Elite ?

Transactions pane malfunctions

I've been having problems with the Transactions pane with 16 or more entries. The cursor resets to the top of the list when coming back to the transactions pane from the details of certain missions, and also if one of those missions is highlighted and a mission timer updates. If a bounty is highlighted when a mission timer updates, the cursor changes to the mission as far above the last mission in the list as the bounty is below it. For example, if the first bounty is highlighted, the cursor resets to the next to last mission. If the 8th bounty is highlighted, it resets to the 8th mission above the last mission. If it would reset to a community goal or above the top of the list, nothing happens.

If you have many missions, timers are updating every few seconds, making this a real hassle, especially if you've taken a large number of delivery missions and are sorting through them to ensure you have the necessary cargo. Opened ticket 41149.

Go to Arexe. It's a good High Tech solar system.
Leesti is also High Tech solar system but a poor one.

Station changing allegiance as I was docked, I'm in Empire space surrounded by Empire planets Peraesii, Hickam hub Jet vision company. I am here because of another incident where I was suddenly turned hostile to the federation after the last update and already have 2 tickets un replied at this time, the controlling faction is Empire as is all the smaller factions, system status is all ok. My reputation is neutral in Empire. So If I leave the station that is now Federation and get shot, not taking the chance.
Ok update as I was typing this post and flicking from here to Ed to check screens it changed back to Empire.

Orbit lines are sometimes back on when I start a new session, even though I've previously turned them off. Think this has started happening with 1.1.05

slave cargo mission

It should not be possible to take on a slave cargo mission from the same station that sells them, then hitting "give cargo" without leaving that same station. Too easy.

The Phekda permit does not appear in the permit list, there is only a small blank space instead.

Constantly disconnecting when checking system map. Galaxy map is fine but system map causes crashes about 2 in 3 times

Anyone think this is confusing? Would be more logical if the shield cells matched there designation as 1/3 makes less sense than 4/4 if you have 4 available to me or am I missing something?

Transaction panel bug / annoyance

When looking at the transaction tab to check your bounties / missions etc. and you have one selected after a few seconds the game selects an item about a page up causing the item you were looking at to be below the fold.

irritating

I did a load of mining. Filled up 32T and then saved and exit.
When I reloaded later, I knew I was heading back to the station.
So there was nothing showing in front. I went to the left panel, set my destination, back to front view. Still nothing in front.
Full throttle, hit boost to clear "Mass lock" and then Kaboom!
As the ship exploded, the game drew back in all the asteroids that were previously invisible. Nice!
So 1 Cobra fully loaded after 1 hour of mining and it's gone.

Next time I'll wait for the game graphics to catch up when I load in.
Bug in that the objects should be drawn in before you're allowed to start playing? Well I raised a ticket and I'll let them decide. #00000041254

This trading is bugged, I am trading Palladium, over 200 tonnes a time and make over 200k per trip, but every now and then I am making half the profit. The demand remains high at the station I am selling to, even trying a different station in the same system has the same result. I just did 2 runs and made what I should make in 1 run.

Wait until you have yourself and a couple of friends doing the same route and one of you gets different prices quoted, even while all in the same station, all looking to buy the same item! You'll even get not only different prices, but different stock levels too... even if you all quit and come back in again.

Hmmmmm!

Doesn't quite feel like you're all in the same game when that's happening!

Warped inside a station

Just logged on for my usual trading runs. Whilst exiting warp 11km from my first port of call, I found myself stuck inside the framework of the station. Everything is red in here almost like being back in the womb. Anyways I have put in an emergency stuck ticket. Hope its not going to be a breach birth.

Have you gone back in since? You might be OK now...

White monitor screen in hyperspace. I've had this problem about six times overall since the beginning of gamma when I started playing. The last two times it has been while in hyperspace. I'm not positive that's when it's happened in the past.

I play in windows 1600x900 mode on my 1920x1080 screen. My entire monitor screen will go white. I use a Corsair 1500 headset and can still hear the game. I can hear it respond to controls, as well. I created a Voice Attack command to exit the game for just this reason and that works. However, when the game closes the screen goes from all white to all black. Nothing restores any windows or the desktop, not even Ctrl-Alt-Del. I'm forced to use the power button. At reboot I'm asked if I want to launch Windows normally.

My specs are in my sig + Corsair 1500 headset, Saitek X-52 Pro, Razer keyboard. I just found the Corsair driver to be out of date and updated. I'll post back any results. I always have Chrome in the background with Yahoo mail, Gmail, Tweetdeck, and often a route planning site open. I also usually have the latest version of TeamSpeak and Voice Attack running whilte I play. I did not have TeamSpeak running this last time.

Thanks.

**Edit** New Corsair software did not fix. Loading MSI Afterburner to check temps during gameplay.

This issue continues to plague me. I created an individual post about it when I discovered that the ticket I had created disappeared. It resides here: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=116085

Stress testing shows everything is fine. I'm now concerned it's more about the Cobra than anything else, believe it or not. I'm now poised to uninstall and re-install after saving my controls configurations. Any constructive input greatly appreciated, especially if any of it comes from Frontier themselves.

Thank you.

Had a weird interdiction today - after about 10s the blue interdiction "fog" just faded away, no messages to say FSD failure/submit/evaded, no other ship on the sensor, I was still in SC. Perhaps the NPC decided to jump mid-interdiction (though there was no wake), but wouldn't there still be a message if the tether broke? The interdiction background sounds kept on playing along with the SC music, which makes me think it was a bug.

Station changing allegiance as I was docked, had the same problem before only difference is the station is in lockdown. will wait it out hopefully, station just changed back
