I just wanted to visit the secret base tourist beacon at Soontill 1. And it's gone. Can someone confirm this?
Notice Fleet Carrier Update - Known Issues
Not that particular beacon, but there was a missing tourist beacon in Smethells 173 about half an hour ago. Possibly related to the Sirius Atmopherics issue?
I'm predicting incremental updates\fixes over the next few days\week.
I think the new UI is rubbish, be it these idiot buttons (in reference to "idiot lights" in cars) or the new colors that cause bookmarks to blend in with every other POI in the galaxy map. Ironic, as I remember the dev team patting themselves on the back during the FC livestream as if they had done something remarkable. Well, I have a "remark", but it's not the one they are looking for.I want to add my voice to this one - I really don't like the new station services menu redesign at all. Several reasons ...
1) On behalf of a small but (imho) signifcant group of players (The Buckyball Racing Club) can I just say that our races rely 100% on being able to see a clock on the screen somewhere (submissions for our time trial races take the form of a set of screenshots, with the visible clock being used to verify people's times). Primarily we rely on the station services clock as the official race start and finish time. By removing that you have seriously affected our ability to judge our races. Now, while it is still possible to use the cockpit HUD clock for this purpose, the problem with that is that frequently it's very difficult if not impossible to read due to it being obscured by glare from cockpit or external lights, or because of VR or headlook movement. Over the past 5 years and 70+ races I could probably lay my hands on hundreds of screenshots to prove this. I'm very aware that we're a small number of players in the grand scheme of things but I would like to think that we've made our mark on the Elite: Dangerous galaxy and deserve to be heard.
2) Whether or not some people might grow to like the new UI and find it handy to be able to avoid one extra click when refuelling, by changing this you've basically affected the muscle memory of an activity which every single player does probably 100's of times a week. I would speculate that, in the short term at least, this will actually make those quick access "toolbar" functions harder to perform because people now have to stop and think about them.
3) This one's subtle but important. By changing the UI you actually stop people going into Station services. It's a bit like having a lovely shopping center full of enticing things to see and do and then selling socks and sweets outside the front door. You prevent people from going in for those things and then being enticed (or reminded) to get a few other things while they're there (maybe picking up a mission or two, perhaps claiming some bounties or doing a spot of remote engineering).
4) More of a basic grumble than an actual reason - why on earth did you feel the need to change this at all Frontier? It just didn't need changing. Golden rule - if it ain't broke, don't fix it!
Please reconsider this change?
For and on behalf of ...
They are being funny. Its an old joke. If you don't remember it then you haven't been here long enough to learn this is all par for the course. Quoting statistics don't make bug fixing go faster.
Guessing this was a reply to something.
Could be to a post of mine by context.
If so, I wasn’t saying that a rollback option shouldn’t be part of the plan. The point (though not explicitly stated as such) was about the decision making criteria for invoking the rollback plan. The post I was replying to was saying ‘invoke’ and I was pointing out various factors which didn’t appear to have been accounted for, but which needed to be, and which in the specific context would tend to mean the decision should be ‘don’t invoke’.
In most cases the mission description in the transactions tab contains the info you need.
if I worked at FD I would book my annual leave or sick days to coincide with patch release 
Don't. Just don't.
Sad but true. Elite Dangerous is just ridiculous now. What is delivered here is at best just a bugfest. If I see it that way, I'm dreading it, even before the new and so "great" Odyseey DLC. If the DLC comes in the first quarter of 2021 (I don't think so, see the shifts of the fleet carriers), it will take at least until 2022 before something works halfway right. They have already installed the first big bug in Elite Odyseey: Missing VR-Support!
Whatever happened to Elite? Really sad where the journey goes ...
R.I.P. Elite Dangerous we had a good time once...

South East Uk here too and it's fine where I am, I'm not sure about anything else though. I would go and make a cup of tea and come back in a couple of weeks
Try and sign out completely from the launcher and back in again.
Is anyone able to see missions on the mission board? Can't tell if this it just a me issue or not as not many people mentioning
And not just the bugs. Frontier has properly made a mess of the UI, for no good reason at all, and I'm not impressed. Did they hire Jony Ive? I haven't been this annoyed with a UI change since iOS 7!
Just want to add a "me too" to this one.
No different to usual...
As long as Visitor Beacons, CZ's & Dav's Hope are not on one's agenda immediately.
Otherwise I was able to do some very nice Haz res action last night, after the mandatory several attempts to log-in.
All-in-all I'd even suggest this has went far smoother than the September update.
