Did you had the planet side? And the walk around?

// Troll off

Thanks FD ! Good work !

 

[jan]

Nice 1 hope i am not so lonely in open play any more.

 

[kelticfury]

Good to see the aggro fix for bounty hunting (just as I've moved to trading doh).

Disappointed by the lack of new cups for the cupholders though. Need some dice as well for my T6 and a novelty airhorn.

Welcome back.

I agree, there is a distinct lack of fuzzy dice in this universe!

 

[Kayoe]

Thank for everything, Michael

 

[blacky75]

thnx FD to keep us up to date

cheers!!!

 

[Retrograde]

Nice fixes!

- Fix only the first consequence being applied to the universe state when completing a mission

So changes to the universe state are calculated and applied by the client, not by the server? That seems wrong to me, but I'm ignorant on such matters.

 

[Fixkatz]

Great, I hope this fix somehow reduces the number of server disconnects I've been suffering recently.

THX!

 

[Quineloe]

What is this bug ??

No, outside no-fire zone.

Even if inside the no-fire zone, you only get additional fines each time you pull the trigger anyway. Cops still went red on you if you hit a ship regardless of whether clean or Wanted.

Actually, no:

I want a little disco ball. I'm way too meta for dice.

 

[Shotgun2097]

Great news, but I have to admit sometimes I find then change log entries a little... er... cryptic.

A translation into thickonese would be handy sometimes.

+rep for saying what a lot of ludites are probably thinking , like me

 

[DrSpin]

You haven't got time to watch the news! Nice touch btw.

I loved this one!

 

[kelticfury]

Updating.... So excited! WOOOOOT!

 

[flobadob]

Fantastic that there has been work on the police / wanted status. Nav Becon here I come

There are some online changes as well which Andy will post in his update, but one change is worth mentioning here - there should be an improvement in matchmaking that should mean you are more likely to see other players if they are in the same region as you.


Does this mean same region of space in-game, or same geographical region in real life?

Same region of space.

Hi everyone,

THIS!!! I may no longer feel like I am playing solo in Open Play. Thanks FD!

 

[Michael Brookes]

Prevent inconsistencies between client and server in which parts of a sector are and are not occupied

Can you explain what this means, Michael? Does it have something to do with the unstable sectors of space people have been getting stuck in?

Yes, it should help with some star systems not working.

Michael

 

[Michael Brookes]

Great, I hope this fix somehow reduces the number of server disconnects I've been suffering recently.

THX!

If they're caused by stellar forge timeouts then it should help.

Michael

 

[Commanderhumpster]

Hey Michael where is Andys psot for the online stuff? Many thanks for the update.

 

[mitchman]

nah , no firing zone means no firing zone

Firing on wanted targets in the no fire zone only gives you a small fine, police shouldn't fire on you. There are youtube videos demonstrating this quite clearly.
