Is nothing sacred?
2001 was showing on the telly and whet my appetite for some Elite. Fired it up, selected launch in my brand new asp and suddenly nothing worked anymore. Tried selecting galactic map to while away the launch sequence, as you do, but it wouldn't open. Just stuck there, bouncing on the landing pad. Tried thrusting up, clear of it, but it wouldn't respond. The reverse-thrust button on my joystick deployed my weapons. Quickly saved and exited.
Re-launched, now hovering outside the station, and with some fiddling realised my bindings had been messed up by the minor update the launcher had applied before running the game. Thrusted clear of the station and then had to spend half an hour re-doing all my bindings, as best as i could remember them.
Two things:
- You don't shoot a man in the balls
- You don't surreptitiously go changing all his keybindings when he's in a new ship, and vulnerable, inside a station!
Seriously not cool.
Least you could do is give us a warning... there ought to be a prominent message that flashes up saying something like "Dear Cmdr, owing to a small networking update all your bindings have been trashed. Please take care to reset them all before trying to launch!" It's just basic courtesy.
