Mining Tritium has been cut by 50%. Before the patch it was 1Ton per limpet now it is 0.5 ton per limpet. Not doing anything until it is fixed. Fired off 100 limpets and not one sign of tritium in a so called Hot spot. Get it fixed
Fleet Carriers - Patch 3 - Known Issues
- Thread starter Stephen Benedetti
- Start date
Please get someone to tell us about VR going forward we know it's not going to be a on Odyessy at first will it be available in the future ? If so when? Or if FD is done with VR say that as well.
Lol, go check an LTD hotspot - out of 90 prospected asteroids i found a single asteroid with more than 20% LTD as primary material, but multiple asteroids with either tritium or water in percentages over 16% as primary material.
TL: DR you'll find more tritium in an LTD hotspot than you will find LTD in the same LTD hotspot
Why on earth anyone would think its good idea. How????? Only reason i can think of is because devs couldnt fix some overflow but i refuse to believe that too.
Oh, here we have some explanation, lets see...
How "Modestly rich players couldn't compete with those prices"?
You mentioned LTD 1.5 mil. Is that price "modestly rich players" cant compete????
100k-200k profit per tone by doing NOTHING is so bad that poor carrier owners cant compete? Gimme a break.
I'm carrier owner, with like 4Bn and was doing fine, and i didnt put carrier in mining system itself.
Just put your carrier in inara/name it properly and there will always be someone who will deliver. Unless u are just greedy and want get 400k profit per tone.
I mean u already have carrier u dont need money, so if u get 10k per tonne (hell, trading trit i had like 6k/t) and you enjoy that it should be enough!
Why on earth yearning for so much more. Oh and then complain that noone wanna sell stuff to you. So instead trying to compete and enjoy simulated capitalism u are satisified with artificial limits.
Btw such limit mean there is no reason to have more than 2bn. I mean prior to that u could have a goal - reaching capability to set order for FC full of LTD.
<rant off>
PS 2Bn = 1333 LTD assuming 100k/t profit = 133Mln. And that is not enough for you, given the fact you consider it as price hard to compete with. Gimme a break.
Also all this rant assumes we had miners + market as prior to FC patch 3. I guess FC trading will surely be slowed down as infinite demand is no more.
Ppl had fun with hauling stuff between stations/carriers, not is no more cause realism + some whiners having problem with others getting too much. I mean yeah wealth growth was too fast but now when markets are so dynamic it might be next to impossible for FCs and haulers to sync together. Hopefully they will greatly slow down market.
Yep - and you'll find even more Tritium again outside the hotspot!!
I can't stand it either, primarily because IT IS NOT A MECHANIC OF THE GAME, nor is there any aspect of the game that allows for spreadsheeting locations. For as much as I can appreciate its efficiency, it is time consuming, and practically ruins the element of immersion for me. This is what the player base is left with though? A workaround that not everyone enjoys, and the burden of it placed on the players. I mean am I missing something in the pursuit of successful game development, in that a game should be entertaining to play, as well as immersive, and engaging? Or am I just being way off base? I wish this code was written in stone, when stuff like this last patch surfaces, because then it would force the game designers to be more responsible with long term goals of of the game, as well as not changing existing function, but enhancing it instead. These patches just seem riddled with regression.

Have you fixed Tritium yet or is my weekend now stranded in an empty double hotspot unable to refuel? Much like the last 2 days.
So, I now have an Orange Sidewinder error each time I attempt to use Frame Shift Drive. I literally cannot travel anywhere now. Congrats FDev, you have broken the damn game for me. A game I had loved. This is getting really lame.

Absolutely spot on Cmdr!
What shame they will ignore, and not even have the decency to respond to your very valid points.
The salt is strong on this thread/patch. I understand why and I'm a little disappointed there hasn't been a fix yet or, at least, a "we see the problem and there'll be a resolution in a short while".
Mind you, it IS the weekend now...

What's with the new update I had to do on xbox?
Oh, you meen when more players want to play the game with the new gameplay but can't do it because the nerf hammer hit a nuke and destoryed everything in the neighborhood? Yeah, it IS the weekend.
When I work on larger software, you either rollback a big mistake or deploy a fix for it immediately (same day at least). You do not leave the users unable to use a large portion of the software during the weekend/several days.

Well yeah. I've worked plenty of weekends when patches or system-wide upgrades went bye-bye, even though they were exhaustively tested. Why did it go wrong then? Oops, we deployed the wrong, untested version live.
That said, I don't profess to know FDEV's working practices; may be it's company policy not to push code live at the weekend.
I find it difficult to distinguish design errors from technical errors because no information about concepts is communicated.
Just spent a couple of hours in a single void opal hotspot now, after my 100 limpits in the triple LTD yesterday. 150 limpits searching for hotrocks and mining them.
My LTDs rose from 9 to 20, so about as effective as the triple LTD hotspot.
Tritium rose from 22 to 77, so more effective than the triple LTD hotspot.
I also picked up 11 Grandidierite from the only non Bromilite core found, although as that created 13 indestructible Grandidierite surface deposits it wasn't as good as it could have been.
As I expected following "Michael Barrymore" nerf though, zero void opals in the void opal hotspot.

It's not about the amount we can make, one of the main reasons for buying Cmdr's diamonds is saving them travelling 100's of LY's ... and its been extremely popular or we wouldn't be doing it, and if people want to compete then the best way is to offer the same price and buy less (just like you said for owners) and slowly with each new order/sale run they can offer to buy more etc it's how I started, no point trying to low ball and complain you cant sell any (not you personally).
Safe close delivery, 0% tariff on R,R,R, being able to compete with the stations was to give Cmdrs a fair price for their efforts, I didn't feel right trying to buy @ 500k p/tn it was a rip off to miners, So I didn't start buying until I could offer a good price.
A lot of us are content to redistribute our credits, offering more during a low market price really made me feel like we were able to keep good profits rolling in for people who hadnt yet got their carriers or just happy to not have to go far to get a lower price than a couple of days before. And in turn we then have to wait ourselves for the price to go up again which could take some time before we can get those credits back, pockets are not endless and would take about 28bn to fill up, and it takes HOURS to deliver so many or it can do for me I'm disabled, but its worth the risk, I was then planning to kit it up with the other services and do the same again.
For me the 2bn limit isn't about profits earned, its about unnecessary micromanagement. It hasn't stopped me filling up, it's just slowed it down a bit, and to be honest if that's given the Cmdr/Carrier market a bit more 'of the moment' choice then that IS a good thing I just feel it would have been better to fix the number you can order not the price it's backwards IMHO. The feeling is though that this limit was introduced because they couldn't fix the code properly so had to hack in a hard-coded value to force it to behave as they want it too, and yes as a coder sometimes that is needed until you can fix it the right way or rewrite it entirely, not as a way to limit the Carriers from making huge orders. As usual FDev drop it in quietly and with no further info released.
o7 Cmdr
So am I right in thinking that the last month spent mapping hotspots from Barnards to the guardian sites has been a complete waste of time because all my data is useless as they have all changed?
