Patch Notes Update Ships 1.5 beta update - Patch notes

[Mythox]

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.

thx for the information dude !!

This is the smoothest the game has ever been after a update for me. Distress calls are fun. Shame their no voices. Took care of the pirate scum but had no fuel to refuel the NPC sadly

 

[Metalstardust]

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

The "NPC Terrorist archetype" is something I'm dying to meet.

I was thinking the same thing.

When playing in beta and spending credits do we lose any credits at all when we go back to normal game?

No. Beta is like Vegas...what happens there stays there.

Great job guys !

Were is the Cobra mk4 the change log does not have it, yet it shows they have put the sound in for it strange

 

[V3teran]

yeah no cobra mk4 although i tried the corvette, viper mk4 and the cutter.
There is a bug with the cutter, when entering the station with gear up ready to dock or come out of the station you cant enter or exit. Its like an invisible barrier is in the way but as soon as you lower the landing gear its fine and you can enter or exit. Only happens with cutter.

 

[CyberGrim]

not to sound ungrateful, but not fix for mission target not being able to see

 

[Faybs]

That change list looks amazing as usual. Can't wait to get at it tonight!

- Option added to disable head look focus mode on Comms and Info panels

Does this mean that I can toggle off the side panels coming up on their own when I look to the sides with a TrackIR?

Added 'terrorist' NPC archetype

...... lol, this make me laugh

 

[OfftheRails]

Worth waiting for. I love how smooth and responsive the system map is now.

 

[CylonSurfer]

Nothing about about the game breaking low FPS in supercruise bug that makes the game unplayable for loads of people.... Poor show Frontier, poor show indeed.

I saw a wing of them in supercruise, so they're in as npcs at least.

Amazing job guys, I'm really glad to see that you go back and fix the small things like tiny issues on some of the older ships and stuff like that.
I'm off to the store to buy a new paint job as a thank you for all the effort you put into making this game even better.

 

[Phosphora]

Very good work, what a fine bunch you all are.

Cheers, Phos.

 

[Duriff]

Excellent work but noticed a slight bug upgraded shield generator on python and is disappeared even the slot for shield generator so stuck flying around with no shields.

 

[Chaodiurn]

- Don't snow nav/proximity warnings when your landing gear is down - you're probably trying to "hit" something intentionally

Don't snow :O

[...]if player is ffriendly with controlling faction. Spawned AI acts like a hunter passive[...]

I'm f-friendly :O

Other than that:

- System map popup positioning tweaked - now avoids overlapping other bodies in the same row

Yayyyy! Finally!!

"Moved the Small hard point from the underside to the side, so the hardpoints can fire without shooting into them on the Federal Assault Ship"

You mean small fins or wings, not hard points. I was very annoyed by this design flaw before this update. Didn't think this would change but I guess I was wrong. Thaks!
