FINALLY! I can login and play. The game still hangs when exiting but I can play the game without my Intel HD 4000 graphics crashing. I had to clear save AND delete my Commander, starting the game from scratch for it to work.
 
Starting to see some decent trading missions starting to appear again in stations I worked hard getting friendly with them. Got a mission for 6 Gold with a payout at 102k. That's more like it.
 
You guys should put Turkey or Figgy Pudding in as rare items for this week only.. Have a good Xmas.

That is a great idea! :) I was thinking that I would like to see some Christmas cheer in the game. Maybe a Christmas tree or lights in a space station. Perhaps next year when the team will have more time for the niceties of game design.
 
Hi Michael,

I'd be really interested in seeing the black screen on load issue resolved. For the time being, I've created a batch file that pushes my token, which I run after I have started the launcher. I've raised a ticket for this, but not sure if you guys are aware. Also, I've had times where I've jumped into star systems with multiple stars, and had to travel approx. 2 million light seconds to undertake a mission - very frustrating.. And can you also turn down the aggression of the federal ships? I was trying to mine an asteroid and some silly NPC decided to swing around in front of my mining laser and I accidently hit him, tried to somehow see if I could communicate with him to say sorry, and he started trying to kill me - plus the federation ships came in and took me out.. it was extremely unfair, as I had literally spent about 5 hours trying to mine resources, and lost all of my cargo (Uraninite) in my basic Sidewinder. I think the game engine should give commanders some sort of warning such as "Hey, watch it!" or "Hey, next time you hit me, you're dead!", etc.

From the past few days that I've been playing ED, its intensely harder and more grind based than when I played Elite 2... it seems that whenever I buy a commodity that's in supply from one star system and move it to another, its mysteriously a lot cheaper, and I'm at a loss.. every time I find objects floating in space, or destroy a criminal, the "stolen cargo" rings alarm bells, and I get an extremely high fine, which really defeats the purpose of bounty hunting!! Come on, please sort this out... :)
 
Just wondering, does player piracy affect the AI trade amounts? i.e. are the AI ships seen in the game a representative sample of the background routes, and a concerted effort by players could produce a 'blockade' effect?
 
Most trading is done by the AI - you would need billions players to do it otherwise. We're just making sure that the players get a space to play with and prevent the AI from flooding the markets when it shouldn't.

So the space wouldn't be so empty in offline mode after all?

No changes to interdictions this weekend.

Just make sure there no one behind you when you're approaching your destination. Make a swooping like approach and keep the other players in front of you in the sensor thingy. Works for me. Me and my trusty Cobra has never been interdicted since I've been doing my approaches like this.
 
Hello everyone, hi Michael

tonight I experience something strange. When I plot my route on the galaxymap I usually switch to fastest routes.
Then my ship makes jumps around 15-20 Ly. But tonight, when I switch to fastest route on the galaxymap, it doesn't work. Every time I jump to the next starsystem, around 3-5 Ly away.

Anyone else experiencing this atm?

Kind regards
 
Just tried a re-install. Logged in using email address and the password I've been using for months to log into the launcher. Sends me an activation code. I type that in and it response with "Log-in attempt failed". After that every time I fill in my details it comes back with the same failure message :-(

This is the same exact thing happening to me. Oh well, guess I'm still using pen and paper to keep track of trading values xD
