Something doesn't add up

Just as in the beta, there are no fractional influence results in the Galaxy Map. My checksums keep telling me I've not recorded the daily influence changes correctly. A nuisance.

It might not be quite so bad if the numbers were rounded in the generally accepted way - they're just truncated to the integer.

Question is: Is this a bug or intended behaviour? It was reported in beta.

Yes, and I remember them saying it would not happen in live...

This is a really bad idea, not good, not good at all.... I will bug report this too. I am not even sure I want to record today's....

It doesn't add up so well, System influence doesn't even match 100% anymore.

I'm not looking forward to that. One of mine is 403k ls trip to the outpost.

I feel sorry for the chum that's going to Hutton to update that one tho.

This looks inconvenient (still downloading the update). Journal and of course EDSM can provide the very exact values. I suppose other tools like Inara still also do.

Nah, faction influence is retrieved with the fsd jump event, you don't need to dock. You owe me one rep now :p (currently it's saying 'Above average', but I'm actually much above average).

There's no way I can do a daily tour of 38 systems just to keep records up to date. Perhaps FD is trying to discourage the small groups in favour of the larger - it's no longer possible to create a group controlling a PMF with fewer than 10 members.

I'm controlling 30 systems alone among 2 factions, and many more to come.

C'mon, you only need the decimals when dealing with conflicts / expansions, and if you are very accurate in planning. In that case, if you do not visit the system, I would not grant you the skill of accuracy.
That said, it's a loss in Quality Of Life we should all complain about. So they will fix it but I'm sure you will survive in the mean time ;)

You don't have any 20Billion system Ganja (nor do we so we can be chiiled about it too) - but if you do you are dealing in sub 1% movements

If I was being charitable, I'd say rounding to no decimal places optically makes the Inf look a bit less 'scary' and less like 'maths' (math, for US CMDRs!). So could help CMDRs new to BGS grasp it.

However, it's thrown up an absurdity of two MFs at War yesterday, each on 1.0%, today still at War but both on 0%. Down and out?

Will bug report it.

This is a very annoying development that will limit my usual activities in the game. I hope it is a bug that will be fixed soon.
