- - Added repair discounts for Founders and Commander with high faction reputation or an Elite rank

Does this mean that you will be increasing repair costs again after their 1.2 reduction? Otherwise this discount doesn't make sense; repair costs are such a low proportion of earning ability.
 
- - Fix so vouchers no longer remain after a Commander's ship is destroyed


Can we get clarification about this?
It's always been that if you blow up your ship, you lose any bounty vouchers you had accumulated. But then it seemed in the previous Betas for 1.3 that that had been changed. Is this going back to 'normal' now?
 
- Drones should no longer be destroyed if they collide with other drones, or scoop-able objects, no matter what sort of drone they are.

Yeah. Thats still not working...

Drones still get crashed every 10 secs tops - mostly after every scoop while using 2 at a time. Drones still circling infinately around a fragment not being able to pick it up until you push the fragment. They still try to pick up each others fragments and get crashed by that AND they still seem to get crashed by god knows what else.

Using more than one drone still not an option.

Furthermore i was not able to get any valuable materials out of High RES so far (about 3 hours or so, worth of mining id say), but that could just be me and my luck.

The drone thing is quite disappointing actually...please don't release 1.3 before you fix this.
 
Imperial style pilot seat for the Courier

It's not the chair from the concept art.... I do hope Frontier gets around to that one some time. The current one is just a reskinned version of the old one, sort of.
 
Known Issue:
- Attempting to complete a single Powerplay action that uses cargo commodities to affect more than one system at once will not work. Cargo that affects a single system in a single action should still work fine.

Can you elaborate on this?
Does this mean, for example, that preparation tasks (carrying Aisling media materials) no longer work because they affect more than one system?
I'm getting the "Your power contact is unavailable at this time." message when running prep which I haven't had in previous beta releases.
 
Could someone with the new seat please have a look and see if maybe the golden founders decal has perhaps fallen down the side of the cushion? I mean... it must be somewhere....
 
Hi everyone,


- Assassination mission targets now appear in USS

So, again we must to jusp for hours from USS to USS to find Assassination mission targets...No thanks!
And Collector drones still collide with other drones, when i have 2 Collector drones deployed and mine a new asteroid both go an the same chunk, and 1 is destroyed at the cargo scoop.
So nothing new...
USS is the worst thing about elite, it is so poor, I want them gone. The bad guys should be persistent like players, hopping around the system and you should be able to interdict them when you see them same as a player. Perhaps your scanner could track them to help you find them? I really can't face much more of this USS chasing! At the very least let us be able to have a scanner module that can scan USS so you know whats in them before you enter. If I see the mineral Magpie again he is gonna get me a bounty on my head!
 
That's not what that note means.

How do I know that?

Well...I just took out a target by first finding them in SC.

So it probably just means that they will also appear in USS.

Most likely a fix so that people don't have to run with a Frame Shift Interdictor.

I would have a good chuckle if in 35 minutes the first line of the AMA will be 1.3 just went live!

I was hoping to find something on here but there was no forum announcement.
