I hope for this, too.
With all respect to FD and their effort made (not just to this patch), the favors systems introduced for the special effects just very slightly ease the crafting randomness and the whole problem of "lot of work for nothing, because I had a bad roll".

Pretty much and because of overlap between the upgrade ranks you're not guaranteed to actually get a better weapon on that final roll. This is a step in the right direction but a small one. Either mat requirements need to come down or quantity collected per instance needs to increase.
Looks like there is finally a reward system in place for engineering mods.
It's still a grind, but at lease the game is playable now, and endeavour and time spent = reward.
And the multi-cannon change ... "I told you so!" I was quit prepared to fit only multi-cannons.
Mines are OP rendering interdictions pointless and irrelevant. They've been pointless and irrelevant to gameplay from the very beginning. AI have to ask for the cargo they can carry - or mission specific cargo (or offer you a bribe for it). Or take it with hatch breaker when shields are down. Or hack the data from your comp if it's data you carry. And there should be AI ships you can hire to run missions with you improving gameplay. The better the AI the less money you get for the mission or cargo run. And players should be able to plug into this and offer services in a wing. Adding more community wing play to the game. Such a small change could go a very long way to adding to the realism.
At the moment the game is...well...not cohesive. Fragmented and dysfunctional. If I wanted to play a crap-shoot, I'd log into an on-line casino.
I want more community gameplay. And I want to see open missions and open play were players can control stations when in open play mode only. (and if they combat log they get a time penalty of a week from open play)
32w played. 5400 hours+

Death to RNG Fdev! Please... I don't have the time to grind so many hours and hours....!
This change means that if you are harmless in a high sec system your tailor-made NPCs are very unlikely to be of a significantly higher rank than you, but if you go to an anarchy system all bets are off. It doesn't however change much to the rank-creep issue which afaik Kerrash is worried about (reaching a high combat rank being inevitable over time, with the possibility that your combat rank eventually not only catches up and with your actual skill cap as a player but goes beyond that, which could prove rather frustrating especially if, at some point later in time, the higher rank NPCs eventually become trully dangerous and offer a challenge even to the best players, as they should).
Since 2.1 released I came across MANY planets that had no lighting on the dark side whatsoever! Couple that with the nearly complete lack of surface detail, and you had a pretty difficult landing ahead of you!
I'm really hoping to see some radical improvements to the look of planet surfaces after this update. If I don't then I am probably going to start making plans to shelve the game and start looking for another space sim to invest my time into. It has been my experience that once Frontier's development team has decided that a particular bug or performance issue isn't bad enough to bother fixing or improving, you are pretty much stuck with that mediocrity for the duration.
Don't think I am going to be able to adjust to the huge downgrade in graphics quality and fps performance that was sprung on us with the 2.1 updates.
Guess I will know what my ED future is going to be in the next 24 hours.
Is the update available for download now?
ENG Capasitor goes back to 2.0? So, we engineered it with 2.1 counts. And no we will have sort of problems. It's not good!

Why grind at all? Without cargo space or a place to put all the free cargo that the Engineers will need and you will get to complete a mission, you will fill your hold and will have to resort to bounty hunting or space exploration to earn any credits while dodging laser bolts and thermals for carrying around all that cargo. You may be tempted to, like many of us with smaller ships, just not grind anymore. We will just not play the roulette wheel anymore --- PERIOD!.
Class 4 Burst lasers and to call in favors for Engineers?

Damn, I can't rep you for that comment!!!
Same here, I had a tasty mission to deliver items to Lave 2 for 900K, got to the system but couldn't complete as I needed a permit so got a 900k fine instead for abandoning the mission. also ended up with an Anaconda on my tail which destroyed my Python in under a minute which then cost me 10 Million to replace. I'm glad they are trying to fix these issues though.

I saw that thread about 16 hours ago of this post, many points were made in it. It was forwarded on as well.

If a bug report has been filed for it, could you send me a link to said bug report thread? Will ask around about it.

I personally don't have any VR hardware, so am a bit out of the loop on anything on that front. What hardware and issues associated with it need a review?
