It was the night before patch-day, and all was well

[TheSisko]

The time is almost upon us, Commanders.

Are you ready?

Got your keyboard bindings backed up?

Completed all outstanding missions?

Finished off any mining before things get 'real' and mining prices are affected by demand? (which they should have been from Day 1)

Ready to say goodbye to rubber-banding? (Hopefully)

Given your SLF pilot the night off before she/he can be re-brought following ship destruction?

Prepared for Infrastructure Failures, Terrorist Attacks, Droughts and Public Holidays?

Are you ready.....for the patch?

ANNOUNCEMENT - January Update - Patch Notes

Greetings Commanders, Please find the Patch Notes for the January Update which launches on the 14 January. The Elite Dangerous servers will be offline for all platforms on 14 January at 09:30 AM (UTC) for approximately 3 hours as we apply the January Update. This time may run over, so we would...

Can you feel it? I know I'm ready to voice my disapproval!

 

[Rat Catcher]

I doubt it could 'better' the September Update for 'unexpected outcomes' so welcome tomorrows patch. I somehow feel that it won't break anything new this time, I'd love to be certain though.

In around 24 hours we'll either be playing and happy, or the forum will desalinate the Atlantic...

I'm sure that everything......well, most of everything, will be fine. I'll be happy if we've still got a playable game in 24 hours.

I'm waiting for the .... INARA/EDDB failed me on prices for Void Opals ! threads

I don't know about you, but after last time when the equivalent of this went on patch day (and much longer after):

I'm going to stay in my bunker.

Absolutely cannot wait for this. I hope it gets hit hard.

I fired my SLF pilot last night, does that count?

I'm about 3500 ly from the bubble and moving steadily away. I'm sure I'm free of the blast radius but will go another 1500 tonight just in case.

There is no escape from the coming Void Opal Nerf Shockwave.

When the shockwave comes, pray to whatever Gods you believe in, pump 4 pips to shields, and pray.

docked, backed up and heading to a bar.... anyone wants me, I'll be in the Photon and Firkin.... I could murder a pint of Targbolter...

That nerf's already in place judging from the prices I got earlier

I thought the same once too, when out exploring, then asteroid belt discovery messages went on an endless loop after the patch.

There is no escape.

Imagine it got snuck in suddenly and secretly into the patch that asteroid ping was worth something.

..as I lifted myself up out of my quarters in the morning and fired up the powerplant of the Krait, I switched on the Galnet to see what news we have.. and "I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. "


oh noes!

What you call a nerf, I call a fix.

 

[Ozric]

We're in the middle of a Buckyball race, great time for a patch to be announced. Though the race involves intentionally damaging yourself, so it'll be fine I'm sure.

 

[TheSisko]

What you call a nerf, I call a fix.

As do I.

But we both know that some people will scream NEERRRRRFFFFFFFFFFF!
