Patch Notes Update Update 3.0.2

[PeLucheuh]

Ramming exemption for notoriety everywhere? Does this mean that griefers can just finish a kill with a ram and still have zero notoriety?

Probably not because if you shoot the target first, you become hostile. But there is a loophole right there.

Ramming exemption for notoriety everywhere? Does this mean that griefers can just finish a kill with a ram and still have zero notoriety?

As opposed to griefers can just run their shieldless lightweight sidey against any other player anywhere and not only load them with a murder bounty but also a notoriety point.

The basic problem in collisions remains unsolved: prove that it was intentional - and who did the ramming. Answers on a postcard, please.

I'm reigning in my excitement for this - the "some" bothers me greatly.

It's fixed in the 99.996% of the galaxy we haven't been to yet

 

[Artean]

Great job FD, keep them coming!

Hopefully just excessive caution on their end.

Hopefully will happen much less frequently, as advertised

Does that actually work? Wow.... Will this trigger an ATR response? If so, then in some ways this is more of a grief tactic than ramming another ship. The little devil on my shoulder wants to go ram some posh Cutter in a disposable Sidewinder and see what happens. (Don't worry, I won't)

So no fix for faction influence being truncated on the system map? This bug is forcing me, and everyone else who does BGS, to use third party tools in order to get accurate influence figures. THEY ARE NOT AVAILABLE IN GAME!

Outfitting

• Fixed ship name plates unintentionally allowing line breaks

That mean I won't be able to have this ? [cry][cry][cry] :

Spoiler

 

[Darth-JW]

I think the blue screen might be something up with your PC, not to say the game doesn't have crashes but it's usually to desktop.

I realise this, however I'm playing on PS4Pro.

Fixed ship name plates unintentionally allowing line breaks

Why not intentionally allow them instead?

 

[JunkoXan]

I noticed that with this 3.0.2 patch, board hopping was broken on every station I went to (Fusang, Sothis Mining and Newholm, New Dawn, Bernhards Star ect.) the boards never refresh they just stay as they are.

 

[EdzUp]

no it took over an hour to type it and post it

now guys be fair the servers were down so maybe they switched the forum one off too so they couldn't post

HOTAS/Controller recognition bug still not fixed on Xbox.

 

[Requiem Mortis]

HOTAS/Controller recognition bug still not fixed on Xbox.

Is that the one where you have to start the game using the 'A' button of the controller you want to use instead of being able to apply the selected profile from the controls settings menu ?

 

[Old Duck]

Anyone else have a broken comms panel post-update?

Spoiler

(and nothing is selectable)

 

[ErichZann]

Is there even one fix for any of the really annoying, serious and/or longstanding bugs in there? Apart from maybe the crash fixes?

 

[Sirius Agent]

"Engineered AI ships have been added to Assassination Wing Missions to provide more challenge"

Good move to add engineered AI ships, because that improves variety and makes it more challenging. They should also be in RES sites and other missions.

If you want challange play pvp.

 

[Ziljan]

Correct!

Does this mean you've tested it already in a lawful system?

As opposed to griefers can just run their shieldless lightweight sidey against any other player anywhere and not only load them with a murder bounty but also a notoriety point.

The basic problem in collisions remains unsolved: prove that it was intentional - and who did the ramming. Answers on a postcard, please.

Sure seems like there could be a stable middle ground here. Have some measure of whether a hostile flag was refreshed by gun fire at any point during the fight. Have multiple Rams be counted as a fine attack. Have a further check to see who was moving faster when the collision occurred. The faster pilot is the attacker.

Ram-griefing would still be possible, but it would be a pita to pull it off.

 

[PeLucheuh]

If you want challange play pvp.

Agree. Also, un-challenging stupid AI with engineered mods/weaps or OP one is still an un-challenging stupid AI.

 

[S3B4ST13N]

If you want challange play pvp.

No thanks.
I'll stick to PvE with engineered AI that provide some additional challenge.
