Elite Dangerous: Horizons & Odyssey Update 16/12/2021 Notes

Just crashed to main menu again trying to sell cargo in commodities market. Happens a lot since U9 and 9.01 and 9.02 so getting used to it. What I noticed today is Balance in "internal panel" no longer matches true balance seems it is stuck in the past. Must be part of the EDO compatibility version fixes/hotpatches upgrade to XBSX - oh well; at least I can now change FGs and the graphics are much better.
So, appreciate the 9.02 hotpatch to fix FGs, but not enjoying the bug preventing updates to the CRs balance in the Internal Panel. Did not realize how often I looked at balance. Hope when whatever caused the FG to go bad gets a proper fix, this balance update resolves itself. Flying XBSX EDO if that's of interest. Also noted a surge in gold/palladium/silver prices in a lot of markets - FDev Christmas gift to traders? Either way, thanks makes PowerPlay fast track quota costs balance out nicely. Enjoy the Holidays stay safe o7

Edit: To update balance in Internal Panel (right side panel) I had to exit to main menu and log back into the game. Balance only updates on log on not while in-game.

not reported a couple of issues i had.

1) landed on a ice world and i ended up inside the planet for a few secs before it corrected itself. ice world name: buzhang ku planet 3a = ship was a dolphin

2) auto launched out of my station and was flipped back inside the station ring. had a hell of a time trying to corrected the maniac spin and escaped with 4% hull left.

OK, let's play this game:

Yeah sure... in millions of systems there were pilots before, but EVERYBODY crashed because they are too dumb to fly? Makes perfect sense!

My understanding is only player Commanders are members of the Elite Pilots Federation. NPC's aren't. So people can land on as many planets as they like but if they're not EPF affiliated they're not eligible to register any discovery or cartographics data with it.

OK, we continue our little game: but now we're back at the start... so you are NOT the first one to discover the system because some John/Jane Doe who isn't even a member of the ELITE has already been there and crashed his/her ship? Of what kind of rookies must the Elite Pilots Federation consist then?? LOL

And also: what good is the "discovery" then? Might as well throw that merit away.

Not really. Think of the discovery register as Elite Pilot Federation owned listings. Alexander Graham Bell wasn't actually the one who invented the telephone for example, that was Elisha Gray. Bell was just the first to register the invention with someone who cared, the Patent Office in his case or Universal Cartographics in ours. May not seem fair but in part it's life and also if I told you I climbed Mount Everest yesterday you'd be entitled not to believe me unless you saw a photograph of me at the top .. or unless I honked the system with an EPF accredited FSS?

Of course, you can always come up with some explanation until it fits. Whatever... still, if we assume THIS was to be the official explanation it would make the whole "first step on a new planet" thing completely underwhelming and make all the exploration and discovery kind of feel way less important too, when everyone has been everywhere anyway. Mind you, with countless current gen(!) spaceships... not some kind of Christopher Columbus pioneer prodigy.

So if THIS was to be the explanation... I would not buy a book from that author :D

Edited for grammar fixes ^^

Well I'm pretty sure players are members of the EPF, NPC's aren't, is official. I'm inferring the rest. It's pretty clear if the NPC crashes and dies on the planet he's not in much position to hand data in but as you say, if every single opne of them died, that's a stretch. Seems likely there's some other explanation for why there's no first footfall tag.

The number of POI's is meant to drop as you get further from civilisation. Not sure if it drops to nil or not. How far out are you?
 
Hi @sallymorganmoore

happy new year! I hope you was able to de-stress a little bit over the holiday... for a bunch of additional EDO-issues:

Ship related:
  • FC hangar very dark (since update 7) when in large ships (noticed with a Corvette)
    From the release notes of u8 I thought this was fixed, but IMO it is still too dark, at least with a Corvette.
  • EDO autodock assist is too stupid to dock a Cutter with g5 dirty-drives on a FC (EDH is ok)
    In EDO it turns circles around the landing pad, in EDH it correctly approaches it.
  • In EDO there is unexpectedly a permanent ice-layer on the cockpit compared to EDH.
Missions:
  • Passenger missions don't show in the description when the passengers are illegal
  • My tourist passengers I picked up right here are illegal here where I picked them up?
    I understand they may be illegal somewhere else, even in another station in the system depending on the faction, but someone doing a sightseeing trip which boards the ship right here should not be illegal when I return with them from where I started.
  • When selecting the 5-plus REP or INF mission bonus, the "mission complete" screen shows 0 bars highlighted for REP/INF instead of 5 bars highlighted
    The rewards part on the right has all 5 bars in grey, but should have all of them in white.
    UPDATE 2022-01-14: https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/46450 also affects the real value, not only a GUI-glitch
  • Passenger missions with several stops only show the Ly-distance, and not the Ls-distance inside the system (like other missions which show that).
  • Inconsistency between number of missions displayed in board (e.g. transportation = 4) and list of missions (e.g. 1):
    Example mission board:
    • initial mission-category display shows X combat missions, Y transport missions, Z other missions
    • summing up X+Y+Z gives e.g. 98
    • "all" category shows "75"
    • if I then go into e.g. the transport category, I see 1 mission instead of Y missions (or 4 in the list instead of the 8 displayed in the category screen, ...)
    I can understand that the number of missions to be fetched from the server shall not be too much to guarantee a fast user experience (e.g. when I want to see all missions), but if I go into the transport category where the main page tells me there are 8 missions available, and I see only 4 or 1, then the user experience is not good either.
Bye,
Cmdr netchild.

This is related to a bug with vert/lat thrusters. It was reported a while back and confirmed by a lot of people but never acknowledged: https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/44533
I think with docking it's related to rotational correction, I've noticed it in a couple of ships when I dock at FCs and outposts.

Yes, it's quite an issue and i noticed it too. Vertical and lateral thrusters seem waaaay weaker.
Not sure if it is related, but i also seem to noticed a much lower turn rate for boost-turns
 
@sallymorganmoore

One more thing... a bug in the GalMap. The plot to ships (second icon on the left) doesn't work anymore. I'm several Ly away from my FC which has all my ships. When I try to plot to one of my ships on the FC it shows in the list that the ship is 0 Ly away, and doesn't allow me to plot.

BTW: check #355 here please, I misspelled your name there, so no notification to you about the list of bugs I posted there.

This sounds like you jumped your FC and haven't relogged since. Relogging (especially if you're on your FC) "fixes" it. Worth trying just viewing the shipyard, too (I haven't tested that one). I don't remember if relog works when not on your FC, but I think it does.
 
As a beginner here, I hope this is now updated and game working smoothly... But where to get it's updated version?
The latest version of the game is the only one you can launch, if you have an old version you had an update button instead of a play button on the previous version of the launcher we will find out on Tuesday next exactly how it works with the new launcher.
