nice, the thread is just way to big...

so, just wondering if any of us FC owners will be reimbursed for the totally flakey expensive and near useless armory?

I have installed and removed it twice now. When are you going to fix it?
And why did you have to make it so its like reading a book that I don't want to read?
repair internals
repair externals
repair hull
repair cargo scoop
etc...
Just what was/is wrong with the current style of advanced maintenance at stations that you had to deliberately create a convoluted mess that does not work without crashing and forcing you to exit game?
Why are programming messes always around someones sad excuse for re-inventing the wheel?
Why do you feel a need to fix/break something that was working just fine?

Harsh? no. Harsh is me cursing the armory and the docking menu a hundred times a day and the instancing, wow easier to throw a truck out a window than to attempt to document the dozens of network issues daily.

And once more I have to ask, why are you unable or unwilling to allow us to input numbers in the market?
If anyone thinks the current method is useful, he/she has very obviously never actually tried to set an exact number for price or quantity.
this should take mere seconds, not several minutes of back and forth till you finally get close enough to not care.
While you are thinking of making it worse instead of better, how about adding a history to these values so that everytime the quantity is met you don't have to hunt with a flashlight to find it and then only to see the only number it has right is the quantity.
the flashlight bit - was it impossible to make these words in the market just a little darker
light brownish yellow against slightly darker brown for the buy screen, somewhat tolerable
barely light brown against dark brown on the sell screen and everything inside where we set it all is insane.

Do you have something against people wanting to continue being able to see.
Was there a conference somewhere that decided we need to have text and background almost the same color so everyone gets eye-strain?
Or is it that all programming is done on a super-bright Samsung CRT? So you can't tell what it really looks like...

I really do like the FC and it just saddens me that such things got into the game that are such garbage and that sadly we have the choice of using it as such or waiting to see if you even read anything we type and do the opposite anyway.

I feel very strongly that our resulting information to you from the beta was totally ignored.
Bugs we indicated, we were told some were fixed, seems to be false info.
Various things we asked for, got something no-one really wanted in the way it is provided, ex: UC (a history of how to give people things that don't work right)
Various requests and suggestions on certain simple things to keep them simple but make them actually function(docking menu)
Results of tests of poorly programmed and excessively complicated armory( 100% ignored)

According to Beige Squadron, most of these issues will go away when PC support is terminated before Odyssey. :)

You must be new here.

FDev isn't great at communicating anything ahead of time.
An incoming patch gets posted a day before with patch notes to be updated while the patch is applied. Not before.
New content reveal: Wait with details to the very last moment!

New to the forums sure but this slap-dash attitude to the community? No, I'm painfully aware that's Fdev schtick. Maybe the optimist in me is always hoping that Fdev is playing the long-con with us, that they are secretly competent and are just playing inept so that our exceptions would be so low so as to completly and utterly astound us when they finally play their flawless hand. :unsure:

Fdev announced a patch was incoming next week, on their livestream yesterday.

Well I, for one, am grateful that the "community manager" wasn't inconvenienced by having to spend all of five minutes posting that in the forum of the community he's "managing".

It might have taken valuable time away from clapping for the NHS.

Totally agree with you.
I always have to set the GAMMA level to maximum to be able to read something that is written with this color.

Past experiences left the community quite salty about raising expectations.
Don't expect anything, hope for the best, anticipate the worst, and you might just make it out with some sanity left.

And then there is this bug. Unfortunately I didn't actually earn those credits, but it didn't cost me anything either! I was transferring my ship off of a friend's FC to a station.

@Tim Smith this thread was not updated for almost 3 weeks now (10th June was the last meaningful update). Any chance for an update? Some of the issues listed in the OP are already fixed (missing sites for example), but there are some new ones (FC paint job removing itself is a prime example).

The lack of up to date information in the official "known issues" thread is a bit worrying if I'm honest, especially that at least one of the new issues affects a product purchased for real money...

I hope a fix is coming sometime soon!

I've put in an Arx exchange request for my 4 non-working FC PJs on Friday, we'll see which arrives first, the ticket response or the actual bug fix.

How do you do that ?
Since I decommissioned my fleet carrier and don't plan to get one back until the game is mostly fixed, I would like to convert all its now unusable liveries back to arx at least...

Raised a support ticket.

I did provide the reason as the PJs not working though, not because I no longer want a FC - I don't think that's a good enough reason to ask for a refund.

I don't want a refound, just convert the liveries back to arx to :

1) Buy the liveries back when/if most of my issues are addressed or,
2) At least use them on my regular ships.

Of course I would prefer the bugs to be fixed.
The decommissioning process of my carrier will probably be done by thursday.
If at least some of the problems are fixed by then, I'll cancel the process and keep the carrier.

EDIT: I am not decommissioning my carrier because I don't want it anymore.
I love it but I don't want to pay an upkeep for something that I won't use (my carrier create more problems/frustrations than it is helpful right now).
