Notice Fleet Carrier Update - Known Issues

we are still "grinding" but this time to not get the black adder error... the point is to keep the players grinding for any reason hahahaha

Haha we worked our back side off to get the money, now we have to work our back side off trying to spend it ..makes sense :unsure: :LOL::ROFLMAO:
 
this is taking the **** now , 3 systems every game type including friends sessions just getting black adder constantly. its like they dont want to take our money
 
This is absolutely incredible. I don't mean to be snarky, but the betas were in better shape when they went live than this full release.

edit: In other news, I'm shutting down Elite and going to the casino tonight!! Maybe I'll get lucky there and when I come back tomorrow I'll be able to buy my FC. That will be a goooood day. ;)

o7 ya'll

if i manage to get mine its being called Black adder

update - its constantly trying to give me the same ship id every time i try to purchase, i would have thought that would change each time especially on changing stations.
also noticed there is no dry dock outside the station when im tryint to buy it

the markers of my fleet both on pc and on xbox have disappeared, I had the same problem in the beta, in case it is of any use, I did not have them stored personally, I created them, shared them with the fleet and deleted the personals so as not to have two markers together

Oh right ...I had squadron shared "boran" mark and personal. Yday was deleting it, that was only personal but not squadron in list.
 
This is a total shambles.
Fdev have had over 3 years of design and development of the FC Update, and 4 weeks of Beta to test and configure the Fleet Carrier update.
Number 1 problem on the Issue Tracker is 'Cannot Buy Fleet Carrier'
I have wasted 24 hours just clicking menu buttons only to get Black Adder error
This Company, as small as it is needs to realize that the player base is worldwide and not just a bunch of fanboys located in England.
The CM's last announcement was 'oh we know you are having problems but we are tired and are going to bed now'
This is totally unacceptable for an Internationally based Public Company, when their Customer Base is all over the Planet.
Yes I am angry, Yes I am frustrated (as are 90% of the community)
This is just not darn good enough Mr Braben !!
 
the random number generator for the game finally ran out of entropy and so the carrier id's were left with nothing ..leading to the same string getting created for everyone after and it's already been used. that same id being requested leads to an uncaught exception with the transaction server and that leads to a black adder error on the client.

that's my guess. Might also explain the lack of carrier shipyards outside of stations that sell them. The random internal id's that the stations would have been given couldn't be spawned on the server but instead of crashing with a black adder, it just soldiered thru.

perhaps the same id system is used internally for all stations and it ran out when re-spawning due to updates to many other stations that we're finding missing.

either that or they ran out of ids given the number of persistent assets.

Oh welcome to our world, the rest of the world gets shafted by American developers all the time, we have laws here that prevent people working too many hours, they will have to have at least 8 hours between leaving work and returning, until then go away and play something else.
 
We've waited months for this and so many are getting upset about delays caused by devs leaving work at nearly midnight? 'll get fixed better if they've had some sleep. And to all those people saying they need a night team for times like this, you really think they're gonna find someone capable of making significant changes to the game just to work occasional nights?
 
Missions spawning for missing location:

Siruis Atmospherics in Sothis is missing. Missions still spawning.

Understand missing locations are a known issue.
 
Do they know what beta is for? It's not for advertising. It's to get it right before you go live. You had 2 betas also. what. Every single fault I've read in here is happening to everyone. How can you be so incompetent? Poor F1 they are going to take so much flak for the upcoming manager game that will be terrible and never finished.
It's refund time for Aussies.
 
Look on the bright-side, if this was another similar space game the sale on Fleet Carriers would be over now and many would have missed out. ;)
Hopefully Frontier will start looking at fixing things soon, they should be starting their work day about now.
