Never!
Wait and see before jumping to conclusions.
Yeah really really not happy about this as Elite seems to be a game heavily about Immersion and this just absolutely kills it especially if we don't have a strict definition of Small POIs.
I'll give you outcrops but nothing else as soon as there is a structure you should be able to see it from your ship if your near the surface. There's no excuse not to be able to see it.
- Fixed deep space POIs spawning incorrect POIs
This looks promising... lets hope the number of deep space POIs is significantly reduced too. The amount I'm finding 50K from home is ridiculous. It should be exciting seeing a blue circle out this far, not a run-of-the-mill thing.
how long will the servers be down?
.... likely to be down for roughly an hour and a half.....
Check to see if we have disconnected from edserver before checking to see if we have permission to be close to a planet
[*]Made some of the smaller POIs only visible in the buggy
Great improvements any word of the removed new damage decals from Beta 1 and when they may return?
doh, my badZac had posted that they would
Yes outcrops but nothing else is allowed, not even the cab of an SRV. Nyres has spoken!
Yeah I'm hoping that it's just the experimenting of the Beta and once it goes live they'll drastically reduce them.

Not in this build, but we intend to fix that.

I'm nervous because we have very little time till live release so its unlikely there will be major tweaks after beta 5. Also do you really need to bring the snark/condescending tone, I was speaking my opinion. Also I don't even get what point your trying to make. I was just suggesting you should be able to see everything but outcrops from your ship as those are things you'd easily be able to see when your near the surface.
Agreed - human artefacts, even down to the size of a SRV wreck, should be visible from low level flight. Flying Search and Rescue missions in my Eagle, looking out of the cockpit side windows for anything man-made amongst the sand and stone, pushes my buttons of RAF biplanes flying above the Egyptian deserts in WWII or snow speeders looking for Luke on Hoth.
doh, my bad
full launch on the 15th eh? nice! im guessing on launch we only going to see one new ship added?
