So no sign of:

1. Further tweaks to rep progression (the trickle-effect means that reputation increases mostly affect the local mission-giver, with only a small fraction of the positive effect going to the galaxy-wide Federation, Alliance or Empire factions; but if you do something illegal - even a relatively minor thing like getting scanned with a few pieces of scavenged cargo - that causes a major hit to your galaxy-wide reputation with the relevant faction, without a "trickle-down" effect. This makes negative versus positive rep progression totally imbalanced for the major factions).

2. Fixes for rep bugs. I am still semi-regularly getting down-repped for completing missions by the faction that gave me the mission.

3. Fixes for NPCs updating your missions or providing alternative objectives during Unidentified Signal Source Encounters. Frequently these encounters make it impossible to complete the mission in the original way. They often also cause the mission text to update incorrectly, so you'll still only see details of the original objective (which often can no longer be completed because of the buggy way the missions update), but contain no details of how to complete it via the alternative path. Worse still, sometimes they make it outright impossible to complete the mission at all (e.g. in Kill X number of Pirates type missions, the kill counter stops working once a USS NPC encounter updates the mission). These USS encounters are the bane of my existence at the minute - they mean I am unwilling to go into a USS when I have delivery missions in my Transactions list; they mean I won't take Massacre (Kill X number of Y type of ships) missions at all.

Unless this gets fixed tonight, are Frontier seriously intended to go to their launch candidate with a reputation system that doesn't make sense or work consistently, and missions that frequently glitch out during USS NPC branch encounters?

These would all be server-side. As in part of the server-side changelog that Michael says is still incoming. Calm down until we see what the server-side changes are.

Just wanted to express 50 shades of enthusiasm, after that good feeling of the last mission. I feel like 30 again! Yeehaw! I love you all!

Okay, self-moderation. That's the watchword for tonight. Focus! :)

I never had an issue from Beta 1.00 until G2.04 that persisted until this update, but is now resolved. Thanks for your hard work!

I really do feel sorry for you being on a crunch time that likely won't end any time soon...Best wishes. Holiday regards to your families...I'm sure they miss you!

Any chance of a reputation fix and restore in the game and for the game before the game goes live?

If get a working game that I am happy and my profile fixed when the game goes live then I'll feel like saying thanks.

I'm with Ben here. Frontier, please prioritise fixing / rebalancing the reputation system ahead of remedying obscure once-encountered soft crash bugs with the AI or discovering dead stars at the back end of the Universe. Reputation is a much bigger priority and it is likely to be a core part most players' game experience in the period following launch.

The ammount of money to purchase my ship back is now much higher in 2.06 then it was in 2.05.
I haven't changed any sort of equipment since 2.05.

Almost 3 times higher

Bug or feature? :)
Click to expand...

Same for me, but not 3 times higher perhaps something like a 10% increase over its original value... although the % is still the same..

Thanks for update, really appreciate it. Any info about trading? Michael Brookes told us yesterday that you are looking into it and it will be fixed today.

The good news is that 2.06 has cured the connection problems for me.

The bad news is that I am still experiencing quarter second stutter/freeze in SC when approaching planets in Yapep. Not sure if I should raise a ticket on this one if its still being looked at.

This funny trading market:
12 hours ago I sold Superconductors for 7100 at low demand, now this station sells more than 100.000 tons in medium supply rendering my trade route useless. I wonder if there are too many traders or the system changed again. Time to move on - a new trade route has to be found ^^

No - the rank missions should be available. It's the core Imperial systems that are blocked off.

Yes I've seen the imperial (navy) rank missions. Collect commodity X and bring to destination A for promotion was the example I saw. Haven't been able to complete one yet though unfortunately.
