Tried all and everything to be able to disembark. Only managed to do it once. When I went back to my ship, never again. Can't access livery. Already changed things in the project, the services, relogged alot and nothing. Went to other FCs and could disembark normally, only on my own I can't do that. Got no idea what could be causing it.
It's now working again the disembark. I guess the instability causing the longer jumping times are also affecting that
Cross platform development was completely successful between macOS and Windows. I could play the base game in macOS and Horizons in Windows (on the same iMac), it was completely transparent. In fact, it was the only cross play to ever exist in ED.
And Frontier didn't have to go running to Apple if they wanted to do an update.
Still, Frontier are back where they started, with just a Windows version and no distractions. Lets see how good they are now.
Do you think they will have a change of heart for us console folk? I only play elite exclusively. Destiny 2 casually but I loved elite so much til Davy ruined this for me. ☺
To be be brutally honest there's nothing in Frontier's past to suggest they'll change the decision. However much Frontier may project themselves as your friend, they make decisions as a business.
True money $peaks but they lost the console money, and thats why I told Mr b it was a poor decision.
they had to port to obsolete versions of openGL to support mac.
Building software for mac forces you to use the various system libraries that apple has set for the OS. The api's for the graphics subsystem were stuck in a multi-year outdated revision that didn't or at best poorly supported the functionality needed for horizons.
But more importantly, it would have caused more costs as horizons was developed and going forward into the future, which happened well after kickstarter and macos likely couldn't support those costs.
So far, it works fine in linux too. With no additional overhead costs. Though, i doubt this will lead to better or more active development. Nothing that has happened in the game in the past would suggest that reducing overhead leads to this uptick. rather it seems to just get absorbed into the bottom line.
Basically now if you have anything else than ultra for graphics rendering of planets, they purposefully set it up to render as checkerboard to preserve your fps.
as I never go planetside in anything but horizons, it’s not a big deal but slightly annoying as I didn’t suffer from fps drops in either game.
No station cats.
I mean, why even bother putting an interior in?
Doooooooooooooooom

Same here. I just wanted to add the concourse bar. And suspended other services. Then no disembark. I tried resuming from suspension, and restarted the client, but still no disembark enabled, hmm.
I'd love to see cats someday roaming and prowling about the fc corridors. "House Flipper" announced their pets upgrade dlc months ago, but still not set to deliver until May.
Ok, disembark works now. Strange, it just turned on, maybe it takes some time for the new activation of FC modules to take hold(?).
Oh wow, nice. Like the part of the corridor where you can listen to Odyssey's classical music themed background playlist. Currenlty playing Grieg's "Night on Bald Mountain", which was also featured in MIDI form in Elite 3:FFE. Cool, next piece playing is "Venus, the bringer of peace" from Holzt's "The Planets".

@Bruce G - regarding this fix in the patch notes:
...and comparing it to a small landing pad at a surface port:
...I think the enlarging could do with a bit more large
I've just been to check (as I've got expired issue reports about this) and unfortunately this is what I'm seeing today at a settlement:

I have a few concerns, no Apex interstellar(Kinda locks out those Feet only players ,no Frontline solutions lack of military applications especially in outpost systems, 5m for pioneer supplies is a bit much since you carnt really make money on grade1 gear or trade your own gear.(2.5m more appropriate). unless this is temporary and an update 12 plan
other that all good stuff bar will be most useful. ... Oh and up that bartender stock limit 100.... cmon carrier owners go big or dont bother lol

Unfortunately, my spike in excitement dissipated entirely having walked once around the FC. Can't interact from the control seat, can't interact with the crew, can't get them to refill the tritium, can't plan a route, can't do anything on foot that can't be done better from the ship.
Basically there's nothing to do ... which considering the hype is quite impressive.
You can get aboard by multicrew.
If the carrier happened to be exploring you wouldn't be able to get off any other way than MC anyway, because Apex can't just 'go to surface'. So if you're really playing without a ship there are ways around no Apex on player owned carriers, which might be limted by having rely on players to get on and off (player owned?) but playing without a ship kind of is limited by definition?
You can use your insight wheel aboard .. only not while sitting down, which is what needs fixing imo.
If/when I get a Fleet Carrier I would want a seat right there.
