I Love My Rotating Ship!

I love looking at my cobra, as it continuously rotates in the launcher. :)

Who would have thought that giving romantic attention to non-combat players would bring so many players in to crash the servers? :)

It's 1730 Z, Friday, and the Brits are starting their weekend with a mass jump...

Last year mine wouldn't stop spinning, until I contacted the support team.

Reporting bug guidelines from QA-Jack:

https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showth...=1#post7388428

In order to tell Elite Dangerous to create a Netlog file you will need to perform the following steps:

If you are currently playing the game please select Save and Exit to exit to the main menu.

This will allow you to access the Network section of the Options menu.

- Open the Network options menu.
- Set the option labelled Logging to On.
- Save and exit to desktop

Please access your AppConfig.xml which be found in the projects folder where you installed the game and open this in Notepad. You'll see a block near the bottom named "Network". Please insert the following lines somewhere in that block -

ReportSentLetters="1"
ReportReceivedLetters="1"
VerboseLogging="1"

Any new network logs produced will now include more detail, which will help us with our investigation.

Please attempt to recreate this issue in-game and then attach the corresponding network log so we can check it out.

AppConfig file location (default):
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Frontier_Developments\Products\elite-dangerous-64

Netlogs location (default):
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Frontier_Developments\Products\elite-dangerous-64\Logs

Once you have encountered this issue and have sent us the logs, feel free to remove the line of code from the AppConfig file.

Ah what a good point.

Q4's biggest change has been making a badly performing game utterly unplayable.

I say this out of love for the game, but FDev really need to pull thier fingers out and fix this. Theres no point in delivering new content if the existing engine architecture has not been changed sufficiently to support it.

Honestly I'm thinking at this point it's about shareholders. Frontier recently sold a large portion to the Chinese. They are good with money and they'll be seeing how little traffic and how little money Elite actually brings in. The thing with this is it's not totally unheard of for developers to kill off long time franchises to move the funding to another project. In fact it's very commonplace in the gaming industry. (Titanfall/EA for example)

I sincerely hope FDev is'nt copping out on thier game and fanbase simply because their majority shareholders want the plug pulled on the project. Unfortuantly I fear this may be the case.

Full marks for the most inventive 'ED is doomed' I have yet seen.
