- Contact missions
- Unique cargo missions - you have to deliver what you are given
- Timed window missions
- Added new open space scenarios:
- Search and rescue scenarios
- Wrecked ships scenarios
- New deep space salvage scenarios
- Distress call scenarios

People always seem to think speed and distance are the only factors when it comes to exploration (or in this case, deep space patrols). It's really not. If you're jumping huge distances, you're missing all the stars in between. Not exactly useful in a patrol ;)

From an explorer's standpoint, no, no and no. Distance IS a crucial factor. You GO to a grid and THEN you explore. The trip of going is of low interest and consists of many systems whom have already been explored. From a patrol standpoint it is equally so. Patrols don't start from the lunch/coffee room. You genuinely have to walk/fly to the area you wish/need to patrol in the first place. And to maximize efficiency ( lowest down-time : travel back & forth for resupply ) the shorter the travel time the better !

In my own experience, I couldn't care less for the systems on my way to my favorite nebula, or about pirates on my way to the system I want to BH/patrol at. It's a waste of time :)

(Not to mention backtracking or inaccessible systems due to increasing range between systems.)

At a guess, I'd say we most definitely are at this point.

ho do we get mission from space ...


Judging from some of the other mission info we can see in that list, I expect from coming into contact with other ships in regular space & super-cruise. I am guessing that Signal Sources & Salvageable Wreckage will also now be *sources* of missions, not just mission objectives. We also know that taking certain actions-like scooping items or destroying ships-can actually trigger missions now.
 
Several people unsure about what access they get, so it's worth copying this from the support site FAQ:

When will I get access to v1.5?



Access to 1.5 will be available in two stages to gradually ramp up the load on our servers as follows:


  • Initially 1.5 will be available as a beta to all Season 1 beta customers. This includes anyone who has bought access to the Beta or Alpha programs, including those who bought the Lifetime expansion pass. This does not include those who have only bought Horizons (Season 2) Beta access.

  • The final version of 1.5 will be released along with the Horizons launch in Holiday 2015. From this point on, all owners of Elite: Dangerous (Season 1) on PC, Mac and Xbox will be able to access 1.5 and owners of Elite Dangerous: Horizons (Season 2) on PC will have full access to 2.0.


That said, it would be fair to say that those with beta access to Horizons would-effectively-gain access to 1.5 as well, given how much of Horizons is dependent on the presence of 1.5. So Horizons Beta access people will probably get access to 1.5 around the week of the 24th of November.

So no Anaconda hud fix? Black missin text? No contacts in range in left panel. When contacts are in range?


Mention it in bug reports, if it hasn't been fixed.
 
Nothing about the anaconda hud offset and black mission target :((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

i was informed the Black mission target text is not going to be fixed anytime soon. I know i Know..:( maybe when things get a little quiter, FD are flat out with Horizons right now i guess.
 
- Spanish localisation added - a big shout out for the Spanish community for their hard effort on this!


When italian localization? Lots of existing players at the moment at the italian speaking community who prefer not to play in English bought into the game under the expectation that the game at launch would have had the promised localizations, including Italian language!

Mission text is red again. Don't know about the rest.

Why does every single country wants his own language in this game.

why not put in Ice landic ,Irish, Swiss, Finnish , Swedish , Flemish, wallonian, frisian, danish ,Dutch, Luxumbourg etc etc .
its getting stupid .

Just keep it to English German French Portugees and Spanish .

these are the most spoken languages in the world .

Chinese is the most spoken language my friend.

If they have french and spanish, italian should be there too. Just sayin'
