Thanks much, will visist as soon as servers are up, in desperate need for data.
I think the PC is only getting a third of the fixes that Xbox is getting then based on download size.
I'm in... PC d/l took about 6 mins.
This is silly. Sitting in the debris field / crash path, each of the comms points in range and SET YOUR HANDBRAKE - relog, fill up dead quick. Absolutely no hassle at all.
Confirm that resolving volcanism on planets whilst exploring is now dead quick... nice fix!
Mine has just finished after around 40-45 minutes.
Wow... that was a loooong one!
Just tried scanning datapoints at Jameson's crashed Cobra from a DBX. You need to get VERY close, and I'm not sure you actually recieve any mats. I'm on my way back to the SRV, once I've restored my bindings.
Btw. Even though I had KGBFOAM enabled in the Galaxy Map before the update, the first thing I experienced was being thrown out of witch space at a nonscoopable star. Be careful out there

You guys are so fun.
I just want to add one thing about the point defense at the guardian ruins. I've done it twice, on 2 accounts, and never used point defense. So don't feel like it's a must. You can just avoid the missiles, play hide and seek with the drones. If you do get hit it will knock you around, though. Setting the handbrake helps there a bit.
I'll probably go again on my newest CMDR. Maybe I'll actually try the point defense this time. Or I might forget.

I'm at the Bug Killer doing the same as I haven't been for ages but it looks all normal here. Getting data at about 40m with no problem.
The only issue I have so far is that the display is juddery when first entering a system *. Or logging in.
EDIT * lots of people getting this. Devs say it's server lag or something and it will settle.

Just nipped back to Diaguandri from Witch Head, Arx is slightly improved for exploration.

Today I busied myself unlocking The Dweller. He requires you to demonstrate your ability to smuggle, by dealing with at least 5 black markets.
It's been a while since I attempted to avoid a scan, and I'm out of practice! I didn't even bring heatsinks.
I got scanned at the first station I attempted, and my cargo of Imperial Slaves was seriously illegal. I expected a harsher response, but all they did was issue me a fine. They still let me land. I paid them the fine. They smiled and looked the other way as I sold one Imperial Slave into illegal servitude in the Federation. I wonder what happens to them? I doubt anyone buying them illegally is going to honor their original contract. Hmm. Such a shady business.
Such is the moral fibre of Elite (and me, apparently ).
The rest of the deliveries went smoothly, with no one the wiser. Except, somehow, The Dweller himself. Even though I didn't get caught, he still knew as soon as I had delivered my 5th slave. Anyway, he invited me over for a chat about laser upgrades, and requested that I bring him a half million credits, small bills. No problemo. I'm the criminal sort, doncha know?
So now my 'conda is partially engineered -- enough to make quite a difference already. It doesn't really take that much playtime to get Grade 3 stuff, and it's only a bit worse than Grade 5.
Here's how it looks at the moment:
s.orbis.zone
And a picture, too, cuz I like taking pictures. This is Blackhide base, where The Dweller does all his best dwelling.

Ooooooooohhhh...... First ever Thargoid encounter!!!!!
While in my SRV that deep sea creature came in.... but did nothing to this unarmed cmdr. which makes me wonder... perhaps they are not hostile? - LOL -Found an occupied escapepod too, another first, but... argh... no cargo... so want to Rays Gateway and picked up a cargo to bring the poort sucker back to civilisation.
Fun stuff!
Thanks for that, and yeah, downtrading at the station is very nice and fills up everything quite fast.Such is the moral fibre of Elite (and me, apparently
A useful lifeskill I am sure to boost through a narrow doorway with no-one looking.
I would like to see the ethical alternative offered. If slave trading is to be offered in the game, why not make slave-trader hunting more of an option. Blockading or destroying slaver installations. A community goal or two down the line we would see the cut of the CMDRs jib.
I found it quite straightforward to open up The Dweller. 5 units of Imperial slaves (they love it anyway) and delivery of one per platform station. I found these less likely to bother with a scan.
