Update 16 Deployment + Release Notes

Thread Closed: Not open for further replies.
Why is literally no-one streaming update 16 on YouTube today? It's really disappointing. It used to be the case when an update dropped that YouTube was heaving with streamers exploring the new features. I've got my sad face on ☹️

There aren't many new features available so far (if any), beside the Scythe of course.
Most of the content added is tied to the narrative and will slowly become accessible to everyone I guess, unless we missed something pretty big somewhere in the Galaxy, the patch note won't help us much on that matter.
 
Hi.
Since the update I can't jump my carrier. (No free slot). Is there a fix?

Yes, just wait.

You're presumably getting the message "no time slot", not "no free slot" (I made the same mistake). This means that the carrier jump system is overloaded with more people trying to move their carriers than can happen at once.

Once this rush dies down, carrier jumps will be back to normal.

Wouldn't have been needed if they didn't host CGs to give everybody billions in a day. It wrecked the game. Now there are TOO many carriers. Quite a few are decommissioned or in the process of, but they are still there... hogging the server space. We need content, not fluff.

Sorry what rush ? Am I missing something

The launcher ever since it was updated does not want to retain non-steam login when launching the game from steam. The thing just wont save your info and tries to log you in thru the steam account next launch. Ordinarily this is not a big deal to just type it in again. But in VR launch mode, the launcher is doesn't prompt you for your login, and so it sends you into your steam account. Exiting the game and attempting to "logout" just cycles you immediately back into the steam account (it refuses to prompt you).

So currently, using VR under my non-steam account is apparently not possible.
 
Yea, VR is totally hosed since the new launcher and update for me. I can't start the game in VR, the game just crashes. And the launcher only seems to want to use the steam account and ignores the "remember me" setting when i sign in with my original frontier account in desktop mode first.


does the launcher take cli arguments that i can assign to the steam launch options to set a given login ?
 
I am at Shinn Enterprise in HIP 20485 and I can now load into the mission board but it is empty. No mission at all. The same with passenger missions.
This is still true. I found missions in other mission boards on other stations in other systems. But when I returned to this place. Still no missions at all. And please don't tell me the mission servers still need to come up. :ROFLMAO:
 



The rest I will leave you to digest within the following article: https://www.elitedangerous.com/update-notes/4-0-16-0




Here we go then! o7

Raised maximum prices of Fleet Carrier items.

Further reading:
Instead of the maximum price the Fleet Carrier owner can set being 10x the galactic mean price (i.e. the slider goes up to 1000%), they can now set it to 100x the galactic mean price (i.e. 10,000%). This will now apply to all three markets on the Carrier. The decision was made to do this in consideration that some things are rare but have a relatively low price; this means that Commanders will now be able to sell them at a price that is worthwhile for the effort they went to, to acquire them.

This seems to be kinda broken at the moment. I can adjust the price of all in-stock items on my carrier except for the sensors:

However, that price shown there ☝️ –thankfully– does not change the price shown in the Commodity Market 👇(price before Update 16):

Anyway, I have a bad feeling about this, so I'm turning off the sale of the sensors until that's fixed.
 
Sorry, with such a MASSIVE update, with so many new features, with such a lot of brand new possibilities, it could barely be Update 15.03...

Such a disappointment, such a mess once again. Sorry to be so negative, but you deserve nothing else.

And still no correction of major quality of life bugs, such as the impossibility to browse menus from system map and galaxy map with a HOTAS, forced to use the mouse wheel... For many months now... Such a mess...

😭
