I am so bad at combat PvP, yet escaping gankers is extremely easy even without engineering if I was able to do it, anyone can. If some commanders want a casual game they should not play Elite, or just stick to Solo. This affects a lot of the dynamic aspects of the game where PvP is consensual during Powerplay and BGS wars. PvP does not = Ganking, only players with no skills think so.
It is an exploit in certain areas and totally unfair, if you read down the comments I have explained it fully, will not repeat, but it does mess up the ability to defend one self from enemy PvPers in the political game of Elite (powerplay) and the BGS wars both of which has thousands of CMDRs and now are at risk of not being able to oppose the enemy and just getting ganked and force to change this, dynamic and only real player combat part of elite, into a dull solo gameplay

I dont understand why you think the people who might block you are going to exclusively play in Open, or vice versa. Blocking and mode choice are both at the sole discretion of the individual player; if a bunch of you have worked out some sort of agreement to only play in Open, surely you can also agree not to block one another?
Has anyone noticed that the stations controllers no longer talk to you as you enter their space or request landing permission?
Yes. :-(
I hope they'll be back soon. I remember that the station audio was something that really made ED seem immersive in the early days. (Also the fact that they knew my call sign).
Why? Just... Why?
That's not an issue, that was a feature!
I just started in borann, to mine Tritium. I thought that this came in core too? Thus far found a few cores all with different elements.Many cores where I am, unfortunately all kinds of cores, although I am in an LTD hot spot. This is in Colonia, which system remains my secret. Also, big improvement of subsurface mining!
Less of an issue since indeed sub surface nodes yeald almost as much as cores, they are just faster to harvest.
Best mining now is drill rocket for LTD and tritium on ltd spot. You will end up half cargo of both in no time. Just look for ANY yellow, inside there will be LTD or tritium. Tripple hole rock gives something like 30-40t in 3-4 mins. So tritium spot just boosts laser mining.
Those ships are only available if you have horizons apparently. I read somewhere that there was a bug where you could buy paint jobs and ship kits etc for these ships even if you didn't have horizons, and therefore couldn't actually own the ships. So, it saves you wasting money on stuff for ships you can't actually own
I hate the additional noises in the Python (haven't tried my Krait yet). One of them sounds like the noise you get when you have a RAM error. We hates them.
It seems like the Corvette sounds haven't changed.

Good questions. Interesting the effect it has on you, and sorry it makes you nauseous. That ain't good.
I do like the boost sound of the Krait, but I dislike the sound of the Vulture, especially as it drops out of glide. But that's just personal preference, for me at least.
For me, those new noises in the Krait don't actually mean anything, but they sound as if they should mean something. And they are just too intrusive for that reason. I suppose part of it is that I am used to the 'ambiance' of the Krait cockpit, but now that's changed...I really don't know why they have to change things that work perfectly well....
Also have to moan about the post-patch lack of station Flight Control voices that's been mentioned several times since the update. And also receiving no mission messages in my ship inbox. What messages do show up (a trade beacon mission) can't seem to be deleted. Hope these issues are fixed soon.
Otherwise, all is good here.
Solo player.

What I find amazing is that, like the last time they did a major patch/content update, they did a beta test and then stuck in more things afterwards without putting those things through the testing process. So they have essentially released an untested patch into the wild. Again.
That can't be right....
