- Status
or they are waiting for the server to go live again before the download?
Planetary scan on each body (Detailed Surface Scan isn't necessary), to turn it from Unknown to LHS ScoobyDoo A, and then sell that data back to a station first. Each body is then flagged as "yours". Get a full system of bodies and the System's "yours".
Awesome
Of course not, but how about a probe?

Now upgrading. Drumming fingers, waiting (DON'T hit Cancel!).
Devs haven't added probes (yet) so She's safe for now.. Whew!
update disappointment
I'm more than a little disappointed that update 1.1 does not have any changes to improve the current reputation system (i.e. some indicator to show reputation progress/increase required to reach next level etc..). Having played the game fervently to try and increase my Empire/Federation reputation from above 'hostile' or 'unfriendly' I have failed to yet return my reputation to 'normal' and have played many... many..... many hours to try and do this...! (have tried bounties, slave missions, trading, couriering, mining and plenty else...!)
I am currently close to giving up on the game due to this omission and am really disappointed not to have seen some kind of change is this patch to address this issue...

I clicked Options -> Check for game updates and then Upgrade appeared for me.
You are welcome to go and touch mine (in the game!) if you want to. She's hot (a star)...
*this* I usually land a little harsh with my conda, she has A6 shields and some time a ring or two goes red but never more than that. I'd hate to be a REALLY careful on landings

yea collisions were a little wonky before. My buddy literally bumped his T6 into my T7 while I was gifting him some gold and pop - he looked like a balloon at a dart throwing contest

2) if a (currently 30 sec) timer runs out.
- Make the system apply to stations as well.
- Large lateral thrusters now have settings consistent with small and medium thrusters. Balanced lighting and fade in/out durations
- Federal Fighter art fixes

- Don't scan if the advanced scanner module is disabled
- Landing pad numbers now consistently numbered front-to-back then clockwise in stations (in other words, bones 0 and 12 swapped over, so that pads 1 and 13 are now in their correct places). Also checked Outposts and fixed pad numbers there too, so that the medium pad is always the highest pad number
- Atmosphere shader optimisations

AUDIO
New
- Under construction station has dedicated ambience and spot sound effects.
- Renamed dynamic range modes and further tweaked the volume curves, please keep providing us with feedback as we’re still working on improving these.
- Added a new BOOST dynamic range mode that is intended to offer a good compromise between industry standard reference volume (normal) and louder mixed games.

- Improved audio on Docking Bay Lifts and panels.
- New music added to Exploration.
- “Power Plant Capacity exceeded” - voice and sfx warnings added.
- Support for muting "Engage" ship voice alert.

- Landing gear audio re-implemented: now matches each ships’ deploy and stow animation.
Tweaks
- Additional audio for when entering Supercruise/Hyperspace.
