The station door always faces the planet, that's space travel 101.
when approaching from super-cruise, come in from the planet and you will always be facing the door.
I didn't know the reason to play was to buy an "awesome ship". Thanks for letting me know I've been doing it wrong since release day.
Same here. Right after today's update.
Spent all evening on this new update with my friend.
He bought a vulture and earn 6 000 000 CR in one evening by hunting bounties.
This update is very good, and we were waiting for it.
But 6m in one evening with a vulture bought 5m, I think it's a bit too much.
Bounty hunters were clearly disaventaged. But now we can make as money as a mechant who has the unique goal to make money when the hunter wants have fun, gain reputation, become elite, and earn money.
So maybe there is a right middle to find?

Yep, same for me: system map needs to be opened twice for it to update to the system you're in.
i have used "children" in a metaforic way, that wasn't intended as an offence, maybe "sons" is more correct (some time google traslate is not realy good XD)
try almost 50MCr worth of data two days ago....
I agree...they should scale it back a bit.
Uhgggg. So sorry to hear that.
I have no skin in this game. I've only benefitted from these changes. But, I would support a 7 or 10 day reimbursement for lost sales. I don't think it can be completely retroactive (that's not how the world works), but most businesses in my country will allow you to get a reimbursement for purchases if the price drops during the returns period. I think it's a fair compromise.

I hope they are watching the numbers. We weren't asking for freebies, we were asking for a fighting chance for progression (pun totally intended). If the pendulum swung too far, I completely support further adjustments to bring it back a little.
Part of the issue is that 1.2 changed RES spawns, and introduced strong signals. I hear this improved earnings considerably. We probably needed to wait a week to feel those out before doubling everything across the board.
Taking my own advice, let's withhold judgment for a week and see how these current values fare. Then adjust as necessary.

Agreed, I was just a little surprised over how much they did in one go though after just having released the 1.2 update which, as you said yourself, already had some changes in it to help these professions. It wouldn't surprise me if they did a slight adjustment downwards with the payouts next week.
Yes, let's wait and see. But this update brings back the fun in Elite for me. And the bounties are "overpowered". Receiving 6m of bounties in one evening seems not too high compared to power trading with rare goods. Therefore, thx FD for this great update! And...the Vulture is a dream!!!

On reading it, I get the impression that he did not really read my question, and answered a different one.
