Patch Notes Update Powerplay Beta 4 Incoming

[Hilight]

Thank you and FD for all the hard work on Powerplay. Although I'm not a beta tester , I've been following its discussion and progress closely....sounds better and better all the time Really looking forward to its release to regular players

 

[clampitts]

These changes demonstrate you are responding in an exemplary manner to the thousands of comments and minor (IMHO) niggles. Thanks all at Frontier...

Does that mean that in unspecified future we can expect Diamondback Transporter, or Diamondback Fighter, or maybe med size Diamondback Heavy?

Thanks for tweaking the bounties. Maybe I can shake off the 200cr disease before the beta ends.

Also, thanks for dealing with the gimbal guns. They did look too excited haha.

"(Slaves are no longer food)"

Whatever this was, I'm glad it's fixed.

Eh, I don't know...

(...)

• Extreme (read: insane) faction systems and system events such as famine can cause markets to (temporarily) purchase stasis canisters containing dead slaves as though they were meat commodities

Is Shinrarta Dezhra finally neutral?

It should be.

I'm afraid it didn't work: I'm still hostile at Jameson Memorial...

What about the terrible DK2 graphic quality we are all having? Why has it still not been acknowledged by anyone?

I do not entirely agree, my experience is very smooth with the latest build, which it wasn't with wings
ok the texts are a bit hard to read, but I can still do it, just by slightly moving the head around to simulate some sort of anti-aliasing.

ok the key to center the view doesn't work though. Globally I'm quite pleased with this build performance wise!

Good for you. Many others disagree.

Try going back and comparing the quality with the release version.

Well, this time it's a bug, so we can report it.

Shame, they were quite tasty with some Lavian Brandy.

Michael, can you please tell us what is the Threshold to become GALAXY WIDE WANTED? I mean, is it based on number of systems/factions with a bounty on you? Is it based on bounty amount? I think these two things are connected, BTW, because now there is 1M bounty cap for each single faction, if I remember well...
Thanks

Yes, they do go down nicely after a few bottles of alcohol...

Cake?

 

[Synther]

Any updates regarding the Military Strike zones not giving any vouchers?

Edit: I did get two powerplay tickets after checking the side panel. Do these give money?

 

[Sandmann]

Liking the new proportional bounty idea a lot. Looking forward to seeing how it plays.

- fix for suicide-sideys making people wanted and add some extra logging in case more cases appear

Do you mean suicidewinders!?!

"Diamondback is now the Diamondback Scout"
Nice to see a role for an amazing little ship.

Never mind the module 10% penalty, this change is really hard to swallow.. *sulk*

I'm going to start trading Soylent Green, made only from Free Range humans.
