I was a Marine Corps fighter pilot and I really like the game when it is working. I am running out of patience though and looking for something else to play in my retirement. Oh, yes I am retired.
Fleet Carriers - Patch 3 - Known Issues
- Thread starter Stephen Benedetti
- Start date
Must have missed the whole thing a couple years ago about pulling all staff to work on Odyssey, which is coming out next year. That's why communication has been "erratic", and so on.
I would expect a back to regular updates and all of that when they release all fo the major components for Odyssey.
Thank you for your service!
Dude, if you are going to show git commands at least try to make some semblence of getting them close to right - the commands you demonstrated will detach the head of a single developers tree to before the up, then will not commit anything because there is nothing to commit, then will not push anything because there is nothing to push. Even if you added an --allow-empty to make the commit do something it still won't push because it's not a fast-forward and you forgot to --force it or use the +syntax, but all of that is still wrong because the next developer that pushes something will bring all the breakages right back since you didn't revert it for everyone.
What you wanted was
git revert to undo all the offending commits, not a checkout or reset.I would have also accepted a git reset --hard (or git checkout) to before the up then a git reset --soft back to the current development tip so that the index will be equivelent of reverting every commit between the two, then commit that and push. Alternatively the soft reset and commit could be replaced with a
git merge --strategy=ours, however that is probably the worst option because the history doesn't show a clear diff of what the merge actually did. Or, if you really want to get masochistic, there's always git filter-branch --parent-filter, and it wouldn't surprise me if there might be a few other methods could work as well (10 points if you can come up with any ;-p)And all of that is assuming they are using git anyway, which is somewhat less likely than you may think in games because git doesn't handle binary files well and doesn't provide a means to exclusively lock a file that a given developer is working on - both of which are fairly important requirements for game development, though how important is somewhat dependent on the engine they are using, which types of assets are stored as binary vs text (e.g. UE4 stores almost everything as binary, including things like blueprints and UI layouts, so those can only be worked on by a single developer at a time), and for assets that are stored as text how easy/difficult it is to merge changes from multiple developers in practice (e.g. Unity stores most assets as text so they technically can be merged with source control, but I wouldn't really recommend it when it can be avoided). If they are using perforce that provides these features (note: while UE4's public tree uses git, Epic internally uses perforce), they need to do a "rollback" instead.
Programmer's aren't payed for showers those days. They're payed by keys pressed/different screenshots made/commits made/tasks in jira closed/ etc. That's why whole industry is going to hell.
I also shot 100 prospectors at the brilliant glowing rocks before I found one painite source. I'm still in the field now, I've shot off 178 prospectors and by now have collected 3 painite cores but no others... This game has a great mining game, three ways to play it, but the fun goes out the window trucking a milk tank around a pristine hotspot with nothing in it for hours.
On average, Vopal hotspots seem to now have as many non-Vopal cores as they have Vopal cores, and cores are also less common. I did three 1-hour mining runs in three different locations and in addition to 8 Vopal cores, I found like 4-5 Grandidierite cores, one B-something (Bromellite? can't remember which types spawn in icy rings) and one Alexandrite.
Dude. That was totally my point. Because the current implementation of fleet carrier is like... well, I have already said it, so no need to post this on a forum too...
Well, to answer my own question: yes, it is going to be this way from now on, apparently.
It happened again last light. Around 80,000 tons of cheap tritium appeared at each of the three outposts in a system (but not the Large-pad stations). I suppose it could have been placed on the daily tick, but that would imply that nobody noticed for about ten hours, which seems unlikely. Dozens of Carriers, massive feeding-frenzy, I grabbed 12,000 tons.
So, cheap tritium IS still available: unpredictably, in limited quantities, and at outposts only. Loading it with a Python rather than a T9/Cutter is a pain, but still many times faster than mining it.
Was that in Colonia?
No, the Bubble. I appreciate that those in Colonia are still stuffed.
If the supply of cheap tritium in the Bubble was more regular, someone could provide a useful service by buying it cheap and shipping it out to Colonia to sell at full price (even though they'd burn half of it just getting the rest of it out there and then returning).
Well they are going to patch the patch so hopefully it'll be fixed. Mining will still be the best way to earn as the other professions are not in sync with it.
But having said that I'll still just wait it out doing other stuff till we know what's what.
Patch should drop soon. Just don't see the point in mining till it's done.
Patience is called for across the board.
Anyways war is afoot ill be busy ha!@

The "outposts only" isn't a guarantee - it's just that the BGS states likely to cause cheap Tritium are more likely in less travelled systems or secondary factions, which tends to mean outpost-only.
I just want to refill my FC with laser cut rocks providing Tritium. Same for LTD. FDEV made such a mess of the nerf bat it ruined the game for me completely. I can only speak for myself so FDEV in the forlorn hope you will read this. Undo what you did to this patch 3 to mess up the Galaxy wide Tritium and LTD hot spots.
I really wanted to swear but that's a no no. Gross incompetence is what it is.

Forget painite cores, didn’t find any on my painite mining. Did find plenty of roids for laser mining though including 60% plus ones so still quick enough to fill up on
Oh if only there was some sort of thing to do to help them, or some kind of mission for lots of players...
We could call it a "community goal". Yes this kinda thing to help bring the players together and work on a galactic scale...and help the the poor commanders stuck out there...
OH wait, yes, we had them, but FD removed them too...
Emerging game play they said...
Blaze your own trail
Engage with other commanders...
Space is big, the last time i saw another commander was weeks ago!

I'm sitting on 12,000T of Tritium, I would willingly fly the FC to Colonia to help, and it would make for a great community goal.
Alas, FDev doesn't really think in that way, they just break the game, then say they didn't mean to, and with no apology.
It does beggar belief how they operate as an organisation.
Trust and care - two things seriously lacking from their values.

Exactly the same boat here. When the heck will they actually fix this?
