Patch Notes Update Elite: Dangerous Update 1.05 Change Log

[moonsword]

Indeed

I am pretty sure that FD does know more then we do about the severity of bugfixes.

 

[Sparkie]

We weren't intended to get ship discounts? Just outfitting equipment? Or was that also a bug?

Exactly, it is a bit complicated but from various Dev posts, it was explained that the Founder discount was only ever meant to be for equipment but somehow, there was a bug that meant it was displaying for ships too. However, we would be 'correctly' changed the full price for the ship hull. Later, Devs said they would fix the display issue. Most recently, Dev's said they would instead make the discount apply to ship hulls and equipment.

there is also NOTHING stopping one from using "Target Panel, Galaxy Map, System map" to see just WHAT kind of station that mission goes too. personally i never taken a mission where i could not land. so there is nothing to fix there IMO other then the affected pilots habits, otherwise, its just a inconvenience issue.

apart from that, little steps at a time, glad to see its being worked on. will see what 1.06 brings.

Have to agree with the poster on this one. Being able to take up a mission requiring you to land at a platform, when you can't land at a platform is just a bit silly - https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=95768

The thought of having to duck out of the bulletin board, and off into the galactic map to check if a destination is a station or platform just seems inane. Show a symbol, description, or simply don't offer the mission.

Heck yeah my Costco card is working properly now!

About the ships are discounted in founder planets.

So wealthy players can just buy the most expensive ship for discount and sell them in nearby station for profit to buy a eagle to fly back again and repeat it all over? That would suck

No they can't. The best they can get is their money back.

Are these the server updates that you mentioned in the 1.04 log that would be announced by Andy later or are these all new server updates?
What were the other updates if this isn't it?

These are the ones accompanying this client release. Andy did a separate thread for the updates in 1.04.

Great

Still no mention of landing pad bug :-(

I wonder if the code for the landing pad stuff was an originally lovely piece of code which ended up with a scary maze of exceptions on top of exceptions on top of exceptions that's a nightmare to debug. It strikes me as the sort of thing that sounds simple but ends up mind-bogglingly fiddly as you realise more special cases that might arise with ships unpredictably entering or leaving an instance. Perhaps they just can't face looking at it again!

Each and every time a patch list is posted, we get the same type of reply:

"That's nice, but when will we get...?"

Don't you know the #1 axiom of development?

"As Soon As Possible, But No Sooner."

What I find more interesting is this:

• FD posts a list of fixes in the patch notes.
• Someone asks if issue X has been fixed.
• Issue X is not listed in the patch notes...

 

[Michael Brookes]

Please Fix the NPC Faction Expansion Bug... We all know its not a bug but a hard cap at 9% influence. You guys have to take the training wheels off eventually. No one wants to ride a tricycle forever.

As posted earlier in the thread we are working on this.

The patch has broken my client now it just crashed on black screen loading, was playing until the release game files Validation reports no errors.

Looks like I'm going to be downloading the client again on slow Australia internet FUN!

Thanks for the update.

And come on people please stop the moaning about "they haven't done anything about the bugs I think are important to me." What's important to you isn't necessarily important to me or the devs.

The landing pad hologram disappearing bug is something that will be fixed in the next major update.

And does that include refunding those of us the discount, who ended up paying full price instead of the discounted price M.B., or do we just have to lump it.

I'm planning on seeing us trade our ships in for the new discounted price after having previously paid full price for them at Jameson Memorial (expect to lose 8 mill more than normal on my T9 when I upgrade).
That way I can only be pleasantly surprised

 

[Cmdr Eagleboy]

Thanks mate, great work... However any news on those new 5 free ships... And any news on the pick one free of those five free ships, that we was told would be coming to us testers?

5 free ships will come waaay later. Being beta will just give one free *when* it lands.

 

[Spork]

The Nav beacon in Liaedin has disappeared. Is that expected? Seems to be a lot more frequent USS's around the sun though.

 

[MADmanOne]

- Added ship discount to Founders World

I would like to know, if players who bought a Ship there recently and made a Ticket afterwards because they dont got the discount, can now expect a refund for the missing credits. It would be really nice if Frontier would do that

 

[Wash_Your_Fruits]

Can we get a captain's logbook with tagging and, searching function in a future up date?

 

[cassey]

Thanks for patch
good reactivity

 

[AgentGB]

hmmm any idea why the cursor is now invisible? while using a port terminal display screen? i have to navigate around using my joystick atm, cant just click market etc? also when i alt tab out, it doesn't minimize anymore, but still hangs in the back visible only showing my windows panel bar at the bottom? Do i need to revert some options back in display or somthing?

update: after some testing, seems to work normal in window mode, the cursor is visible, seems to to only disappear when set to fullscreen, although alt tabing is still an issue.

another update, cursor disappeared again after alt tabbin back into game after making this edit. Can only make the cursor reappear by going to grpahic and flicking either to fullscreen, borderless or windowed, and not alt tabbin out, which doesn't minimize in either but stays visible in the back.

I know that the information is somewhat redundant from the games perspective but; can we get a update download size added to the announcements. it would be really handy for people who may need to top up pay as you go internet.

and thanks.
