Elite Dangerous: Update 7.01 and Horizons Update (PC Only)

Small visual/text issue. Says 'may become markets' but I think it's meant to say 'may become illegal'

*The term "host" dates back to the 1960s and thus to the era of mainframes. Don't ask me why the term "host" is used instead of "server". If I understand the article above correctly that mentions both terms, it seems that "server" is usually used to refer to the program and "host" refers to the machine. But I have very limited half-knowledge and am happy to be educated if I am wrong.

I imagine it's because the it's "host"ing the program in question. But yeah, without port forwarding of some sort, there's no way your PC can be a host (STUN or whatever doesn't count, because that is the host).

Anyway, internally, the original quake engine called it's built-in server the host.

Where is the Panther Clipper XL?

It's not a "last resort" mechanism - port forwarding is an easy workaround for problems that are difficult to solve without actually coming to your house. It's on par with "turn it off and on again" as far as "solutions" go, i.e. a shortcut that gets the laymen to stop bothering you with problems they don't understand enough for you to walk them through remotely. It does work, I'm not arguing that - but it is not required, and is not the recommended approach.

There's a relevant thread all about it: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threa...imizing-multiplayer-connection-issues.583861/

Another bug I've encountered. It's on the tracker but will probably expire before it gets past "confirming" as everything else does.

Basically, you can get offered missions to hand in cargo at Odyssey settlements, but the mission can't be completed as the faction doesn't have a presence there, so there's no mission posting to complete on the board.

I'm a bit confused lol. Has anyone had any mysterious disappearing engineered FSD's?

So just to clarify, I have a Python which is basically my runabout. I know for a fact that it had a 5A fully engineered FSD. I've recently used this ship and noticed my jump range was tiny! I checked my FSD and it was only the default 5E un-engineered FSD.

Is this a known issue please?

@sallymorganmoore -

Every on foot mission I take for "Seize XXX at a secret cache" automatically gives a financial reward. I only do these missions for data I need for mod's so successfully completing a mission and getting credits instead of the data I wanted is annoying. This was supposedly fixed in the past per one Commander's comment in this thread:
https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/odyssey-materials-bug.591978/
but it is not fixed.

This is a link to the problem in the issue tracker
https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/42851

Is this going to be fixed in UD8?
