My thought exactly. I heard about this earlier, could have logged in and quickly grabbed it, but thought "nah, it's an obvious mistake and they'll take those back those as soon as they find out". Lesson learned ... next time there's something like this I'll be grabbing it FAST!

Luckily I don't really mind personally, but I can see how this is would upset the players who usually make an effort to be among the first to science the biowaste out of new content.
Apparently they were available to purchase for Credits, rather than materials. I really hope this will be the case after the CG is done as well. If all the people that exploited the bug will also have those new scanners for Credits, rather than mats - while the rest of us honest Commanders will have to grind for mats to get them, I will be very upset.
Oh, havent't even thought of that possibility. That is something that would annoy me a little bit. 😅
 
Somebody did point out that the new scanner appears alongside the relatively recent enhanced xeno scanner in outfitting, which didn’t require material unlock and, since it's a similar kind of thing, may well also just be a credit purchase when released properly.
 
How many times in this game we don't know what is bug and what is feature? And why, in this particular case, I should be sure that this is a bug? And why I should not buy it, when it's legally offered? And now in the end, many of you would not only remove this module from commander's inventory, but would also be glad if this cmdrs are punished somehow.
In other words, you would punish the players for FDev mistakes! Because The Gods cannot be wrong. Typical submissive thinking.
You're just reaching for an excuse to exploit what was clearly a bug. How long have you been playing the game? When has a CG module ever been released immediately after reaching Tier 1 and/or before the CG is over? Exactly. That was so obviously NOT a feature, and I'm sure most who bought it knew it. In any case, when in doubt you can always ask before doing anything.

Unless of course your philosophy is "Better to ask for forgiveness than for permission".

I would kindly ask that you do not blame me for this unpleasant situation, nor the other players who bought that module, because we are not responsible for the situation. I would also ask you to stop cheap moralizing, which has no place here. I am certainly not a robber who robs poor, innocent grandmothers, but a brave researcher who risks his life for the advancement of science and the improvement of our chances in this terrible war, in order to provide a bright and carefree future for all of you. :)

You can wrap it however you want, but you know it was wrong. So please just stop.
I am now repenting and dusting myself with ashes and solemnly promising that I will absolutely never do anything like that again. Unless, of course, I get the chance. :ROFLMAO:
 
Greetings,

Another Dev mistake as in releasing a scanner too soon and I missed it? Darn I always miss them all over the years. How can I decide to cheat or be honest if I'm always late to the party? Someone send a PM the next time.

Recalling them does make sense as the combat CG reached tier 1 but the delivery CG for the same thing not so much. It will soon. Per Sally here is the recall post. I did not join either CG yet so maybe others like me could have just go buy one.

So I'm hauling Polymers to RABH in my 720 ton cargo Cutter but does it make any sense? The combat CG has made them available for everyone after the next Thursday maintenance update. I don't think that Frontier saw this disparity between the two CGs so maybe they will do better the next time or not. Meanwhile why bother?

Here's why. Long ago in local galaxy in a place not so far away in the U.K. there were Livestream Moderators and Devs promoting the game and setting up Open mode get together for all players to join in. Challenges like racing around an orbiting station 10 times then see who wins or who could land a Sidewinder into an orbiting station after boosting with Flight Assist off was fun! The Devs sucked at it of course while the players were alot better. Then with all the live players it was a challenge to get a parking space near the orbiting station. Somehow the instancing worked with so many ships.

These days are long gone now and the only times we may have something close is with a CG where many are interested having fun meeting-n-greeting other players in Open mode. At one point in the current CG there were 12 players in Supercruise while I was heading for the station and 8 more when I arrived! System Chat was full of comments all playing together. Griefers show up great as many players like breaking up the boring cargo runs and have solutions like me to engage them if desired. Other players were in Superecruise with a Squadron of three Corvettes waiting for the griefers to show up. I don't really care whatever the CG is but seeing all these other players makes me smile.

As for those players who got the scanner early good for them. We will get needed info on how they work. One player has posted the stats. As for those who complain about an exploit and put down any player who has it with useless posts the Moderators should take charge with this banter versus personal attacks while the rest of us look for info on the thread. My advice is if someone attacks you personally on the Forum then ignore them. Without a reply they have nowhere to go. So let's get on with the game.

Do you know these guys? Hint one of them is Eddie.

I grabbed three of the scanners, mostly because I wanted to avoid what happened with the Caustic Sinks where you have to do the mission to get the item you need to do the mission. Look on the bright side - we have test results to show the module actually works and is not bugged :)

I really hope they don't require materials to unlock, especially to purchase each one one - that is really rough. Realistically, they should be available for credits just as they were available under the bug. That is most likely how they were made available accidentally: just the wrong date.

Still 10 sec scan time, not relevent with the Titan I know, but still way to long, as for the early release of the scanner, Meh, don't care, just an unfortunate error, end of.

Most of your post doesn't have anything to do with this CG and is nonsensical, so get back on topic.

If you have an issue with a post then report it. If you have an issue with the way moderation is done on this forum then follow the steps outlined in the forum rules. Don't make snarky comments in a thread.
 
If they are allowed to keep them, then why do the other players have to continue with the grind to receive them. I have 4000 unit in so far, should I stop now and just wait till the CG is done .

I am currently on 5850 units and I'm thinking why should I bother. Other players got the scanner with zero effort so why should everyone else make the effort. We should have all been given the chance to purchase it and be done with it. Yes it was a mistake but some have been rewarded for that mistake while others never had a chance to be rewarded. Now vids are all over you tube of what the new scanner does, it seems pointless continuing the CG.

Has it really made it available? If you read the information text on both CG's, only the Scanner Production one mentions the scanner becoming available when tier one is reached. The Protect Deliveries CG doesn't mention the scanner becoming available when any Tier is reached.

Looks to me like Tier One needs to be reached on the Scanner Production CG in order for it to become available.
 
Oh well. Let it fail and see what happens 🤷‍♀️

Would be interesting to know what, if any, impact the early availability of the PWXS had on participation numbers.
Would also be interesting to see what happens to the modules people like me have already buyed if the CG fails.
But as interesting as that case would be: I've just taken my trip with the new scanner to one of the Titans, tested around a bit and am now back on this CG to justify the (later) existence of these modules in my ships.
 
Well, I packed it in at 3920. I will wait and either go and pick it up afterwards or wait until they decide how they are going to fix it.
 
I have supplied over 6000 tons of cargo for the CG. Doing my part, even if I am one of those that got the scanners early.
