Hi there, Does anyone have a clue what the update is? Is it a bugfix and QoL fixes or is it new content - shinies....like new ships?
I am a returning player and have only got back in to Elite this last week...

First look: THE SCYTHE!!! (New Thargoid ship)

A first look at the NEW THARGOID The Scythe! It's a new Hunter-class ship with a purpose different to anything we've seen before. What do we know about it so far? The Scythe is a new hunter-class vessel arriving in Update 16. It has a very different purpose and behaviour within the ranks of...

It's definitely not a bug fix. All the numerous bugs that make Odyssey On Foot missions unplayable as a team are still there, and it's not fun at all to waste your time with missions you can't finish because the game is full of bugs. After two hours of Update 16, I already don't feel like playing the game anymore.
Frontier should rather fix the bugs instead of releasing more new garbage.
Specifically today: reactivated power in a settlement -> mission still shows "You have arrived at the settlement. Reactivate power."
Team member downloaded data from a data port. Download finished, i try to download afterwards: "Port in use".
The best Bug is when you remove a plate with the arc cutter and what's underneath? Another panel that can't be removed. This game is a mess. There are a lot of confirmed bugs in the issue tracker, but almost none of them are fixed. Instead, we get new Thargoids, which many players don't seem to care about, as we saw with the low number of participants in the last AX-CG.

not to mention the fact that they shut down some of the more glaring issues without resolving them, such as the anti aliasing issue

Of course it could also just be a bug.. It's been reported that reducing one of the shadow quality settings to below ultra allows ED to start in VR.

I've got fined for using Weapons in an AXCZ when fighting Thargoids around a Starport. I am speechless.

That's been going on for quite a while. It has nothing to do with U16. Fighting while within a no-fire zone will always get you a fine, regardless of the reason.

It doesn't make sense from a real-world point of view, but real-world doesn't run on code (I hope).

I have done already several of these missions before and NEVER got fined for that.

It doesn't even make sense from a games point of view. It's a CZ and the human NPCs ask me for help to defend their starport. And the same faction fines me.
