Patch Notes Update Gamma Released

[dungeonseeker]

The tiny changelog kinda makes 3.9 seem pointless TBH. Was expecting a huuuuuuge list again as per usual.

 

[Copernicus]

They might be using Amazon's Cloud Server infrastructure, but they may not have provisioned enough servers to scale up to due to larger than foreseen demand... maybe?

We should hope they are using AWS infrastructure.. That being said, if they are, they don't appear to have provisioned autoscaling very well either for either the game servers (or website for that matter), or have placed some arbitrary (read "financially driven") limit on it. Certainly AWS has the capacity, globally, to deliver this service.

I signed up just before Beta 1, can anyone confirm if I get an Eagle (free) or not?

Only option I had was for a 'new commander' with Sidey + 100cr.

Yea you get it. Dock at a starport and check stored ships in shipyard.

 

[sfajardo]

playing, can not dock, can not deliver

 

[havran]

I'm too unable see any station in my contacts.

Spoiler

 

[mono]

Thanks. I've just noticed the green icon next too a system 2 hops away, looks like a ship there waiting for me, gg.

[Jer the Stampede]

Cost of fuel is a bit harsh starting out with 100cr in the back pocket, but I'll deal with it.

Managed to get into open game no problem, started seeing flickery stars then ship started teleporting about inside a space station like quicksilver, near landing pad BAMPH other end of station BAMPH embedded in a wall

Think I'll leave it be for now.

 

[Astraeus]

Right, except for EVE Online and Ultima Online..

EVE and Ultima Online were both released before WoW...

 

[Shoklar]

Christmas already, you're pulling my leg, Michael.

Thanks so much all at FD, after a long day at work - just what I need.

Shok.

Gamma is mostly about bugs and polish according to Braben

You can't go shopping if someone has nicked the spark plugs out of your car....

He must go buy a X52 pro

Yes, everything for network stability and depth of the game

 

[Marshall...]

I'm having fun Helped local vipers down a pirate NPC, watched a firework display at a station I docking at (loitering player) and then had to dodge 2 Anacondas at the entrance. Good times.

 

[Renideo]

Just entered a system with a class B star, 3 solar radii rotating very very quickly. BD+08 1303 B, not terribly sure it's meant to be, but it *is* awesome looking.

 

[Patrick_68000]

Kickstarter starting ships and locations added

And some backers are going already discover the world of the founder

 

[crim_960]

problem in safe disingage ready in HUI MINES, press button for escape from hyper drive when appaer "safe disingage ready" but game was blocked there, after one minutes game was closed and was open a windows from frontier where it says "was a problem"

 

[vjek]

Annoying things..

Interdictions happening every 2 minutes of supercruise, i can set my watch by it.
Scanner range resetting every time you enter supercruise
Supercruise being slower if you go from station to station in-system (it's actually faster to jump out of the system and jump back in, in some/many/all? cases)
No change log indicating the change that platforms now have commodity markets
Dropping out less than 1000km from the station, but having to re-enter supercruise to get a "safe destination lock", even though you nailed it the first time.

Seems ok to me. Grabbed my eagle, ticketed a couple of minor bugs and checked out the ios app.

All working really nice but suffering from a bit of a hangover from which my friend tells me last night I had 24 shots of jager ended up drunk flying killing players, getting killed by players and trying to take out anacondas and pythons in a basic sidewinder for a good 3 hours until 6am.

Early night for me tonight and then I can dig in properly tomorrow
