Actually, yeah, kinda.

This is a widespread practice, broadly employing young people in a 21st century world economy that has replaced a lot of good jobs with software and robots. One thing that's really hard to make machines do is believably converse like a person; this is one of the very few things it's still cheaper to pay a poor person to do than buy a technological solution. Think of it as the current generation's equivalent of being a telemarketer.

edit: Also, for anyone who hasn't paid attention in the last several years, information wars are becoming the front lines of both business and politics. From Russian fake news smokescreens to emotionally-satisfying-but-factually-misleading memes, controlling perception is big business. You think Mark Zuckerberg is a billionaire for no reason? Not just some but MOST of FDev's value is public trade on the London Stock Exchange. If you are so certain that it is untouched by currently-ultra-hot business practices, then yeah you're totally naïve.

Thank you for the update and patch. I have confidence you folks will get it sorted. For a low payout as well no doubt (what, underpaid missions could be a cry for help)

WHAT!!! 2nd patch in 7 days - this time the updater is telling me that's an hour of game time going to be lost! It'd still be annoying if it was 5 minutes to download the patch but less alarming. But it seems that the whole thing must be downloaded for every small change. If updates need to be this frequent then I'd suggest fdev work in a faster patching mechanism. Once again I ask - where is the update mailing list? I don't have time to constantly check back to the forum to find out when an update is happening which means the first I know about it is after I've launched the game where it then tells me that my version is too old.... Why doesn't the launcher automatically check for me - I never close it! '@~#&&^£"#####.

@Avulon,

If you closed the launcher after a game session, it will automatically tell you that there is an update waiting when you next try to launch the game.

Nope, but if you want to think that, thats ok with me. As far as elite dangerous is concerned, who is FDs competition?

"Nope" that's not your logic? Or "nope" you don't work for the competition? I made that statement to point out the absurdity of the idea of forum spies and saboteurs.

Frontier has two peer competitors, Hello Games (No Man's Sky) and Robert's Space Industries (Star Citizen). I'm very surprised that any FD player would be unaware of this, especially one who reads these forums where those other two games are frequently discussed.

A more appropriate Quote would be George Santayana
Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

Frontier had a very persistent habit of not learning from past mistakes. Beyond IMHO is to a large extent forced to clean up 3 years of such neglect (i.e. placeholder mechanics, just to give one example, obviously there's a whole lot more).

I suppose it would, but wouldn't help except to stop me going through the first stage of game launch before realising an update is necessary. What's really needed is a systray notification - something that'll check if an update is required say at wake from hibernation and every 30 minutes while computer is awake. That way I'd stand a chance of getting the update downloaded before my play session time. It could background download while I'm doing all the mundane life chores...

It will be another one soon, much stronger than two you've mentioned -X4: Foundations from Egosoft. I'm waiting for it to leave ED for good ;)

First played ELITE on a Commodore Amiga 500 in the mid-1980's. Luved it then. Marvel at how far it has advanced now.
Some bugs? Yeh well, no rant, not the end of the world.
Keep at it FDev. Appreciate your efforts in releasing regular updates and improvements.

Really? You are addicted. Sorry bud!

Also, it took less than a minute to do the update for me both of the last two updates.

Cheers!

Hello everyone,

We are taking the PC galaxy servers down now for the 3.0.5 update which will fix the Trade Data issue detailed yesterday. We do not have an estimated time when the servers will be back online but we'll communicate here and on our social media channels when they are.

The fix will come on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One early next week and we'll update you here when that fix will come.

See the changelog below.

Galaxy/System Map

  • Fixed an issue that caused a Commander's Trade Data to not display


EDIT: We've made some server-side corrections and you can find those below:

Local News
  • Fixed new local generated news articles not displaying
  • Legacy authored local news is no longer shown

Missions
  • Fixed rank-up missions incorrectly increasing rank with the opposing Superpower
  • Reduced overloading Mission Boards to prevent disconnection issues

Ships
  • Fixed an issue that allowed players to get into destroyed ships

I and others would love a way to when you log in you can log into you ships . say if you have one out for mining . and one somewhere else for combat you can choose where you want to log into. Would make the game so much better ... look into it .

Great Thanks . Also can you all look into making is possible to log into the game via your ship location . Say i have one that is out mining and also i store my combat ship somewhere else and i have my wing that wants to hunt i can log into the game to that ship vs spending all this time flying to get back to my other ship . That would be huge and make the game so much better if you had that option. :D
