I thought I’d see if the dust had settled, so I “upgraded”, and logged in. Turns out all the local factions have gone a bit nuts, with many a system flipping to another power or gone independent, which I know is another bug that was reported. Wonderful.
Also, none of the stations are greeting me, as all the STC chatter has disappeared as well. Which is also a known issue. It sounds rather flat without them, and I miss the elegant tones of the Imperial traffic controllers!
So after some consideration, I left for Shin. Dez to outfit my Clipper. After a modicum of tweaking and outfitting, I left on a course for NGC7822 to get out of the way for a bit whilst things settle down.
The clipper is very enjoyable to fly, and has a great cockpit view, but it’s terrible for fuel! I’d not want to be taking it on a sparse area expedition, or out to the edges. All the sounds seem a “bit off” too. And there are disconcerting “workshop” sounds just continuously occurring, which is irritating. There is a twanging piece of wire in the mix too, which is really jarring.
