Either way, definitely wouldn’t call anyone giving a little update on good encounters with something “slimy”.
Update 14 is now available for Elite Dangerous Live (4.0) | Important release information
- Thread starter sallymorganmoore
- Start date
I was landet in the Hyades Sector FB-N b7-6 system on the surface of the planet A1 or maybe A1A and logged out before the update.
My fleet carrier got moved around at least twice after release and that is fine. Some info from the team moving FCs around would be nice though. Was there also a "no go" zone or complete stop to jumping? Would also have been great to get actual information about this immediately, at least one sentence for each? Didn't see anything in this thread until the second jump which was maybe an hour. I do applaud your commitment to helping us @sallymorganmoore though!
When logging in after update everything was calm on the surface. So I go in to the Galaxy map to check were to go. Got put into a wizard-style tutorial. After reading a page or so I hear som low sound notifications possibly from the ship but it is hard to make out what is said. I try to read more but the ship talks more and I decide to just skip the last 3-4 pages to get out of the tutorial. Get hit by a shutdown pulse immediately and then get shot to pieces without the ship recovering from the shutdown (still landed) and get destroyed. Not a great gameplay experience. At least that notification volume should be higher so I can get understand I need to exit the tutorial. Would also be great if the tutorial starts out with mentioning that this tutorial can be reached again in the galaxy map so I can relax about deferring/skipping it for whatever happens outside the ship. Also, in space, interceptors apparently don't target ships with around 20% heat or less. Why do they target a "cold" ship on the ground?

I played with a friend after the update. We are not really updated with Guardian weapons and modules so not really in a position to take on multiple interceptors which seems to be happening often in the new gameplay area. We can get out of those though. But we want to get some new play out of the new content of course. So looking into the galmap it is confusing. There are Thargoid interdictions in all "War" systems, but the icons are not really reflecting the system danger or activity well. Red skull means there are humans to save/help, grey X means much nothing is happening except those interdictions from our perspective. Red scary skull seams inappropriately scary to what we can do/expect. Glad that you are going back to using different colors compared to the all orange galmap icons at least.
Odds of Day One patch? 
You might want to have ‘em check those exobio payouts too. I think they added a zero to the multiplier!
Jokes about the slow German Internet:Not everyone understands.
@sallymorganmoore you're up and working early after yesterday's very long day. I'm impressed!
I'm also impressed with Update 14. I'm absolutely loving it and I'm not even an AX combat pilot on my main account. Please pass on my thanks to the team.

Sounds sufficient. Unless the compression rate for the Live update is higher than it was for the Legacy update. (The final installation was about double the size of the download.)
I thought so, too, but my experience trying to install Horizons 4.0 (a few weeks ago) taught me otherwise. It had me sitting there wondering why there was no further progress, until I checked my storage space and saw that my drive was stuffed to the brim and still some Gb to install... After uninstalling another game, the installation commenced.
True. Germany is exploring "virgin territory", according to our ex-chancellor...
Things seem to be going better than expected, for me at least. FPS has increased a bit in all areas. When in flight, 60fps and in concourse low 40's. Ground CZ's say high 20's to mid 30's but there isn't that initial freeze (was that a loading thing?) anymore. I am used to lower FPS's, so somehow even ground CZ's, at low 30's, seem smooth to me.
Looking forward to whatever comes next!

Never mind, the odds as always are 50/50 either there will be a patch or there won’t.

Good shout.
Just to add to this - any buff to exo is obviously to be welcomed (though maybe not quite so generous). But it seems the rank requirements weren't changed - can you check this as well please? I'm hoping it's just a bug/oversight. At the moment you can find less than 20 specimens of Stratum Tectonicas (which is relatively common) and go from zero to Elite V in a day.
Edit: to clarify - any buff to payouts should see an equal increase in rank requirements. I don't think anyone complained about the effort required for Elite V
Update is very exciting: thanks FDev.
A couple of glitches (apologies if already reported above)
1) Carriers can only now be moved to the main star of a system, using the Galaxy map. System map claims every location is not a viable Carrier location.
2) Comms panel - multiple errors. Doesn’t show friends, or allow Direct Messages. Arrival of my Carrier in system produced a blank message.
Thanks for looking!

Well I'm quite disappointed, but not surprised, to say the Codex isn't working properly.
Very shortly after release last night I visited Maelstrom and scanned one of the
I got an on screen confirmation saying the new entry had been added to the Codex....
It's not in the Codex.
I saw people saying that a first find is now worth 77 times what it was yesterday! That has to be an error. And one that I hope is fixed very quickly

It's 2.3 all over again.

Tried out that infamous Odyssey/Horizons 4.0. What a terrible game engine and performance with the same settings

Sometimes, it’s the small changes that have a huge impact on a game experience: I can switch between ships twice as fast than in update 13. Awesome 
Actually most of the players I know who have talked about Exobiology have said how slow progress is up towards Elite.
Apart from a fairly pointless increase in credits acquired there is no point in buffing exo payouts if rank requirements are also increased.
