We're not even asking for new content or ships or features. We just want fixes to the old content so we can frickin' enjoy it.

Wonder if the tone of this thread from the die hards (one's still around after drinking the Cool Aid) is ever going to make a difference to the Dev's and their plans (?)

... "Maybe next patch" seems to be the Mantra of ED players these days

Thank you FDev :)
But i'm missing some important lines.....

- fixed NPC's using powerplant with 100% output at 0% integrity
- fixed NPC's having no cooldown on FSD
- fixed NPC's activating FSD while hardpoints are out and still firing
- fixed NPC's automatically deactivate Flight Assist in the microsecond before thrusters go down
(or do they always fly FA-off ?? Even harmless ones?

Is there something about these major bugs?


Unacceptable. Unbelievable. How long are we expected to live with the NPC power plant issue, not to mention that they still immediately begin charging their FSD's right after an interdiction during the cooldown period?

It makes a complete profession (npc pirating) unplayable for more than 9 months now :|

I guess the only programmer who knew how the routine responsible for those functions worked left some time ago and the others are too afraid to just pull a random jenga block from the tower of code.
 
Incoming salt Sir!
Deploy Tequila and lime!

Don't let this distract you from the the fact that in 1966, Al Bundy scored four touchdowns in a single game while playing for the Polk High School Panthers in the 1966 city championship game versus Andrew Johnson High School, including the game-winning touchdown in the final seconds against his old nemesis, "Spare Tire" Dixon.
 
I better don't log in and find my Powerplay weapons have disappeared out of my storage when I login tonight. They were months of grinding (thanks for not wasting my time Frontier)! FDev, if you are planning to do those kind of things you should send an email to all the users and don't rely on a post somewhere amongst thousands of forum threads. This is the first time I heard about this "issue". What is the point exactly in reducing storage space? Am I missing something?

Yes you are unfortunately.

There was a bug, not seen it myself due to not wishing to hit a storage limit, that somehow allowed storage of more than the limit of 120 modules this fix is not reducing the limit of module storage merely enforcing it. What is going to happen to the excess modules isn't clear.

The 120 limit has supposed to be the rule since it was doubled from 60 last year sometime IIRC.
 
What is going to happen to the excess modules isn't clear.

I mean, just deleting them should be out of the question. The most sensible approach would be if the amount could always automatically be reduced once you take a module out of storage, until it reaches 120 again... Or possibly just deleting a slot once two are free, so that you are always left with at least one empty one.
 
Yeah this is a serious bug that needs fixing, it makes it extremely hard to interdict anyone in those ships! Will be seriously if this is not fixed.

This one i just don't get.
The reticle isn't perfect aligned at ALL ships. Especially when being off-seat it gets more noticeable.
Cutter, Python, Adder, etc.....

On the Alliance ships it is just not horizontal but vertical misaligned. That's the only difference i see to the Python. Feels like sitting very high in the ship.
Always thought that this behavior on ALL ships is intended? :S

It does seem strange that every Wednesday I get a message whenever I board-hop telling me that a Power Play cycle is imminent yet they couldn't put out a message in-game over the last few weeks warning people of the consequences of having >120 modules in storage.

Fortunately I was aware of this and sold-off all of my non-engineered modules in advance of today.

Hell, even a message on the loading screen rather than some tabloid le-tattle about the Blue-Haired Bimbo's private life would have been appreciated!
 
Don't know if it's the same one i know of, but if you go to a Guardian site with 3 or more people in SRV's, you 100% crash on PS4.
