And that's one of the thus-far absent critical functions being added right there.

Waypoints.

Now... group chat and some way of facilitating group travel - and the game will beat 2003's Freelancer.

Please keep it in mind for those of us who don't exploit.

That's all we respectfully ask... It is a big part of the social side of gaming, like taking a photo together in front of Big Ben or the Eiffel Tower as a tourist, we were looking forward to taking high res screenies in front of all the major bodies in SOL as part of our community project. It's little things like this that hinder the social aspect of Elite flourishing for us...

Thanks for the hard work as always from you and the team and taking the time to reply. It is appreciated!
 
- Fixing ship wear now has a cost

Grins....I wondered how long it would last, being able to get the valeting for free !

Me too. Although I sure hope that paying for repairs to ship wear & tear now also means that my windows will finally get cleaned as part of that cost. I didn't see anything about that specifically in the fix list, and its getting to be a real mess seeing out of my Cobra's cockpit a lot of the time now.

And yes, I do feel kind of lousy even bringing that up, as this update has a very, very impressive list of fixes which I am eager to take a look at myself tonight ... well done Frontier! I'm just constantly seeing that layer of filth on my ship's windows now, for significant portions of every flight, and it is bugging me more and more.
 
Michael said that high res capture is available in solo mode. If you come across something beautiful, bounce out and back in, then grab the capture. It's a faff, but that feels like a reasonable compromise given taking high res screen shots doesn't come up THAT often in gameplay.

That's fine if you play on your own, but for those of us that play with friends that is not a reasonable compromise or solution.
 
Havent read this whole thread so not sure if already asked, but what did they mean by "Secret added" under Tweaks & Fixes? :)

WHY?

So now we can't take nice screenies with our fellow commanders? Why has this been done? :(

Another kick in the nuts for the social (or lack of) side of the game...


Because the high res capture does horrible things with game flow so can be used as an exploit.

Michael

OK, so not there in OPEN play but Is available in Solo Play. Where does the middle gound, PRIVATE PLAY fit in this? YES for His Res, or NO ?
 
Thanks for replying...

And there's no way around this Michael? This game is beautiful and I personally love taking screenshots and putting them on rotation on my desktop backgrounds. Brings a smile to my face thinking back to the scenario the screenshot was taken with fellow commanders. Now this has been taken away, I'm not aware of an exploit. It seems something nice for us who don't cheat or use exploits (whatever it was) is being taken away because of a few people cheating.

That doesn't seem fair to us genuine players :(

It's only the high res screenshots that have been disabled (alt-f10). I assume the standard screenshots still function as before which presumably is what you're using as backdrops. It's a shame but I understand why.
 
- Removed all police interdictions on clean vessels

Ooh, that's good ! Should save me a bit of time, not having my journey interrupted when I've been a good boy since day one.
 
Now that's a list! Much gnashing of teeth when I couldn't play due to an update, but once I came here to see what the update was :D .

So putting my time to good use, as I'm updating Windows (patch Tuesday, of course!) and reading all the changes.
