Patch Notes Update Wings Update 1.2.01/1.2.02 Incoming

[Ashk'El]

- Flatten fuel cost to be the same for all ships
- Changed references of pause menu to game menu to try and prevent confusion that the game isn't actually paused

Bravo chaps, two small changes that I've seen a lot of people asking for. Simple for you to implement yet highly effective in improving game experience.

The fuel cost thing made no IC sense as it was, fuel is fuel, should only cost based on how much you need. A victory for common sense here, huzzahs all round.


By the way, those are bonus huzzahs atop the precending resounding chorus of huzzahs for all the upgrades since launch. Watching the game evolving before my eyes is pure pleasure.

Thank you very much for the generalized fuel costs! You guys are awesome!

Michael -

Please strongly consider releasing some kind of patch announcement PRIOR to taking down the servers to save confusion and large amounts of posts on the forums. Also, please include all such announcements in the twitter feed - even if that means creating another twitter account for just such a purpose.

Thank you!

Hi everyone,

update 1.2.01 for Wings has been released and contains the following changes:

- Added default keybinding for nav lock (key_minus)

Thanks

Michael

Is that the minus key on the main keyboard or the minus key on the numeric keypad? I have the debug cam bound to NUMPAD -

@Michael why don't Frontier use Twitter to update on server status?

So much easier when gaming companies post a simple 20 letter message on twitter to let players know if server is up or down.

not everybody can be bothered with twits and facelook.

the Pause reference change is going to save a lot of newcomers' ships from exploding when they hit Escape and then wander off to make coffee, thinking they're safe - just like i did way back when.

A second hotfix is being pushed through to fix client stability issues.

Thank you for the quick response. At least now I'll have the time to watch some video tutorials

- Flatten fuel cost to be the same for all ships

If I don't get a refund on the 8.5 mil I've spent on fuel I'm quitting.

*Flounces off to start a whine thread*

This is my fav fix though

Cool another update. I'm liking this. Cant wait for my fuel rebate! I wonder if fuel will now be 100cr a tonne as stated in the commodities market... Maybe I'll head to the crash and carry...

 

[L_B_P]

Can't remember seen any change about fuel. Didnt play yesterday after the update, so first playing day is today.

My a-fitted Anaconda now cost to refuel 155 cr for 11 ly jump instead 14.xxx cr is this a bug ?

Edit: just saw othe posted about fuel hmmm. Maybe we now all can get elite status and 10 billion cr in out account and no kids have to cry anymore. GAME OVER

I think it means "-" on the numeric keypad. I had already bound my wing commands to 1,2,3 for select wingman, 5 for select wingman's target and 4 for nav-lock, but I'll change the latter to minus to be consistent. I use C for camers.

Maybe fuel should cost extra in the outlying systems or some companies could have a monopoly on it so you could make some extra cash smuggling it in

Maybe "Storing" you ship just stores the loadout and painttjob on the station's servers, the ship gets trashed/sold and then they quickly outfit you a new one when you want it back

Maybe thats why you can only ever see a virtual hologram of your ship...

Love these

- Fixes for broken Asp audio
- Flatten fuel cost to be the same for all ships

 

[Alec Turner]

Will this appear as a new Upgrade option in the launcher at some point this afternoon or is it just a server change?

 

[michaelisjones]

ASP sounds pretty awesome to me. Having the same CTD issue though. Also love that you're fixing the docking computer!
