What decal? That was never mentioned. I don't think there is one for this beta.
Bar the NS/WD cones, were there other graphic 'enhancements' in the beta - or was I just imagining things?
Looking forward to January
There was a bug reported about Thargoid visual downgrades (its spikes) so I do wonder if things are being twiddled.
Curious... My main was in Colonia on 18th November (back there yesterday) so the beta very conveniently put in in an area with loads of eye candy, but not a lot else
Overall, in my perception, 'detail' had been enhanced on bodies too, but being in the bubble for a couple of weeks prior to the beta my mind may have been playing tricks.
Maybe textures had a tweak and the Thargoids higher quality were misnamed or similar.

I certainly hope it was a level of detail bug, because it looked very, very bad.
That is very noticable - great shots though!I certainly hope it was a level of detail bug, because it looked very, very bad.
Could the one in the beta be a different variant? The spikes have quite a diffent shape and are much shorter at the tips of the petals.I certainly hope it was a level of detail bug, because it looked very, very bad.
It might be, but because the spikes are all the same (just repeated)it looks like some effort to reduce assets (maybe for memory or performance reasons / proc gen on Thargoids maybe?)
No Mans Sky did a similar downgrade....for PSVR optimisation....

Where is the confirmation? All I see there is a report and single confirmation. (which doesn't seem 'many') I added my own (positive) comment & link to video to the line.It's also worth mentioning that although you keep referring to the change in NS jet cones as an upgrade, it's been confirmed as a bug and seen by most as a downgrade.

My impression was an improvement, so if it was a bug it improved rather than degraded

The issue has been confirmed, as you can vote on it. The only way an issue can become confirmed if it has less than 10 replies (and possibly even if it has more) is by someone at FD changing it.Where is the confirmation?

For what it's worth I visited 1 NS and didn't notice any difference. I looked after you had initially mentioned it in the Beta feedback.
I did post this previously:
Really quite impressive
As I was around 5KLy from Colonia and was 'searching' for new WD classes, I ran into quite a few

Surely the end of that is a bug though, you can clearly see a line where it break and flips the animation around. It goes from a wave pattern to a circular one.I did post this previously:

Yeah, spotted it in the game. Doesn’t work well IMHO. Definitely wouldn’t class it as in upgrade personally.
I'll video the same star from live later, it isn't too far away, it will make a good comparison - thanks for the inspiration

Yeah I did a comparison with the Neutron star I was at, though I didn't take a video unfortunately because there was no difference. I'm not sure whether it's because of my graphics card, or just that NS wasn't different. It was 18 Camelopardalis in the bubble.I'll video the same star from live later, it isn't too far away, it will make a good comparison - thanks for the inspiration
Does this imply that ONLY "bugs and issues" will be fixed/addressed, but otherwise everything we've seen will go into the game unchanged from what was in the beta?
