Planet darkside brightness enhancment issue

Hey Cmdrs,

Thanks for the reports.

We're aware of this issue and working on it.

Yea....

I brought this up over a year ago.

Expect no results, sadly.

Hey mal_wilson,

Thanks for the report.

We're aware of this and I've passed on your feedback to assist with this investigation.

Hey Cmdrs,

Thanks for the additional information and sorry for the delay getting back to this.

We're aware of this issue and I've chased this up with the developers to get this looked into.

Hey Kneejo,

Thanks for the detailed report and videos.

I've passed this on to get checked out by the developers.

Cheers Rach, I will pass your information on to be looked into.

Hey malenfant, I have passed this on to be looked into and thank you for reporting.

Hey Cmdrs,

To reiterate what I've been speaking to Malenfant about in PM, I have chased this up with the developers, they are aware of the issue and currently working on it.

I don't have a time frame as to when this issue will be resolved. I will try to keep you posted here with any additional information I can find out about this issue.

HEY Cmdrs.... They're are working on it ..


Off Ship Storage 2.4 ? if not when ?

Any mention or clue given by Frontier in the up and coming 2.4 drop if we're getting Off Ship Storage .. ( ?? tonnes would be great)

Taking cargo OFF a ship and storing that's ships cargo in the hanger bay of the station you're docked in, so the ship you want to fly is free of Cargo.

BUT if you're dock in a station and have ships in storage at that station , you can swap to another ship in that station, and leave your cargo behind on the ship you just docked, the choice is yours.

If I take cargo Off a Ship, store that cargo in a Hanger bay, and re-fill my ship, I can't then store / swap that 'new' cargo out again.

You only get to Store / Swap once 'any' cargo , until that 'old' cargo is either destroyed, used or sold

Frontier could refine this by having storage limits on stations of whatever tonnes , Ship swapping storage is whatever the ships cargo hold is.

In short STORAGE is needed and it must be thought out, this as we all know, should have been done before Engineers dropped !!

...........

Right now there's Storage BUT only if you buy a 2nd Account

If you Paid for a 2nd Account you're allowed to move cargo over to 'another' stored ship, thus freeing up your current ship
it's unfair, an also encourages hording and market manipulation, only players who PAID are given the ability to store cargo Off their current ship

HEY Cmdrs.... They're making money of NOT having it.

Pay 'n' grind!!!

Z...

and that is the real reason we will never see stuff like storage or a few others. Simply because people are buying 2nd and 3rd accounts to get around it now... lol...

So Frontier business model , is allowing the hording of cargo thus the manipulation of the 'markets' while simultaneously discriminating against players who don't want or can't afford to run a 2nd account.
