Its more about providing high intensity play for those who seek it more organically than simply looking for high risk USS'- its not raising the difficulty floor but rather increasing its ceiling. I'd love it if my power sent me messages going "great work, but watch your back! Grom / Patty / Power is after you now!" and you get a week of being an NPC target (so that power NPCs in your territory help you out more too, sort of lying low).
I have tried without success to fix the Orange Sidewinder with :
- using another (4g) modem to connect
- help menu, stuck recovery
- uninstall and reinstall
- attempting to launch game in horizons mode (yes this also fails with the same error)
fdev, pretty please, unbrick the game for us
At last, FDev's internal definition of "beta" has been revealed!
You mean, like, "we will be tweaking the numbers as we gather more data", which they warned well in advance?
It seems absolutely reasonable to me that two stations in the same system would interact. I'm really struggling to see how that could be unreasonable to anyone.
Although if you went down the realism nerd rabbithole further, one could point out that trading between Foo's Folly in System Alpha, 127ls out, and Baz's Bastion in System Omega, 96ls out, is actually way more efficient than Foo's Folly trading with Wotsit Vision out around System Alpha's B star, 435,275 ls away, if Systems Alpha and Omega are one short high-wake apart.
I would ignore any reports which were from before this morning's tick. Given the time you wrote this post I'm guessing you haven't seen many reports after this morning's tick.
No, but my avatar was not me for a while on Tuesday...
Yes. I guess all the owners of the PP 2.0 megathreads need to go and update their first posts. (I'll do the Wiki if it's not done already)
I would like to respond with a question: what is a healthy / good system? Would you like to live in a pure refinery system that produces only metals, but is not self sufficient in terms of food production and some quality of life stuff such as hospitals? Or would you rather live in a system that is proud that it could survive anything, even if completely isolated from the rest of the universe.
In Elite, we have the traders view... where we want to make a profit. In terms of population, a healthy system should be a system that doesn't offer great trading opportunities. Such healthy systems should attract more population than others with greater population terms over time. What, if such self-sufficient systems offer the greatest population over time?
Before the patch, the population count offered us a crude metric of how much effort the architect provided to the system. Now, this metric is gone... one outpost over a water world leads to extreme population counts. Do we now have any metric to determine if a system is great and developed? How can we compare them?
Updated both my desk computer and my laptop with no problem until now. Of course as after each update, I rebooted the computers to eliminate trailing transient pests.
I can't write anything about colonization for the moment as I am on my way back to Colonia area after a few days hovering around the base near Sagittarius A.
Stuttering seems to have been tamed now, thanks to fdevs.

True
The most requested feature...
Only missed the bloomin' F U yesterday sweating over doing this, and there's still bits to do ;-/
I think inherent planetary economy mechanics would work perfectly and be most flexible if adding supporting facilities that give different economic influence diminish that influence until by the 3rd (or 4th) facility the planetary influence doesn't affect the economy at all. This way unlandable planets that only have one orbital slot have useful economies, but you can still specialize eg an Icy planet with biosignals to whatever economy you want--eg pure (and very productive!) agriculture if you add space farms and agricultural settlements, or pure refinery by adding relevant support infrastructure. Adding more support infrastructure should also diminish (but not eliminate) the negative effects that certain planet types have to certain economies.
Weak links should only add commodities to the export side of stations and not make stations consume commodities their other economy types produce; nor should station economies from strong links eat commodities added by weak links. It should work more like a transit hub where weak link commodities are earmarked for export, not a factory complex. Alternatively, they could only affect the strongest economy of any station--so that eg an agricultural station ignores a tourist settlement somewhere else in the system, but gets a weak link from a space farm.
This would get rid of the current problem of clashing economies eating each other's exports.

That's a good different question.
Although, maybe not entirely different in my subjective case... because in my case, a good system is one that makes some kind of sense.
To invent an extreme example, if a Cmdr picks a system with five icy moons, two gas giants, and two asteroid belts, they shouldn't really be coming on the forum complaining that they can't get enough Agriculture. And I would say the same to any Cmdr who finds an ELW and decides that exporting strip-mined haematite is the way forward.
The problem is this ascribes intent to the Stellar Forge. It doesn't have any. The reason some systems have two ELWs is because some systems have two ELWs. Everything else is post hoc ergo propter hoc.
Apart from the Cmdrs trading at a loss for BGS reasons, or the people trading goods at a pretty low price per tonne because they happen to be agricultural goods which give merits for Winters, and the merits are of more interest than credits to the Cmdr. So there you go, already the trade "system" is interacting with two other systems. This is a system of systems.
OK but again, trade is not, empirically, something that is limited to one system, and nor is the game designed around a concept of trade that is limited to one system.
Yeah this is fair. And "Happiness" remains totally opaque too.
Run missions and deliver profitable trade, happiness goes up. Even if they don't tell us what it is, it's pretty clear it's based on overall activity.
Yes, you are right. But given that my refinery system jumped to 160mio population overnight I give up any hopes that I'll see a boom state any time soon. Instead, I expect every slider to fall back to neutral despite any trading that is going on right now.
Furthermore, as more and more systems will add their personal refinery somewhere, and that the bubble is expanding rapidly, I expect that the amount of visitors to my system will diminish completely. Time will tell.
Are you in the system? Colonization megaships don't show up in the system map and were shown under the category "Poins of interest" so be sure you don't have that one filtered out.Are the Trailblazer Ships disbanded or moved?? The "Wish" is no longer in Bletii !!
