Patch Notes Update Wings Update 1.2.03 Incoming

[Fangrim]

System map keybinding?! YES! Thank you!

One itsy-bitsy request ;o)

Being able to select a target from system map would be soooooo welcome! Trying to find the planet you want to scan, without having to scan 8 others would be awesome!

One question though:
Systems scanned before patch... Will they also get the exploration bonus, or is it only systems scanned after patch?

Increase your reputation to get better deals. Please FD do NOT increase mission payouts.

I'm allied with kremainn.. the highest paying unavailable mission is an assassination mission for only 130k (which isn't that impressive considering assassination missions tend to be available without being allied )and the risk of that mission is enormous... the missions available paying 12k is like one cobra bounty kill .. and not worth the time .. they really do need to be re-scaled THAT OR as I would prefer, give players some other form of incentive to do missions... because right now they are a complete waste of time.

Edit : All I'm worried about with all this increased payout is ridiculous inflation. there needs to be more ways to burn credits before everyone is a multibillion heir

BUT the new 600k insurance is juste a joke !!!! Welcome into Elite: Peacefull

you realize 600k does not even closely cover any of the bigger ships right ?
600k is just a somewhat bigger sum in case some odd nuub managed to fit 4 or 5 mil into a cobra and still have no clue about how the insurance works and then heads to the the forum to make a "i am done" post.
it is an extended nuub protection, nothing more.

ppl are risking 5 to 20mil per each death in the the expensive ships.

Has this been confirmed by a Dev post?

Not that I know of but I and many others have been hunting for it since it showed up and nobody seems to have found even one fragment of it yet.

 

[Ackoman]

Hmmmmph. An update and the game is off line when I've got the afternoon and the baby is asleep.

This is not good enough!

 

[zzzornbringer]

thank you very much.

No they're not a waste of time if your trying to gain Rep with a certain Faction and then change the systems owners etc.

Well today is your lucky day

At the Moment i should have exploration data worth at least 50 Million (old values) ... I think i should come home now ... Any Info on how much more it will give ?

I have just docked at a hub, 5 minutes before this update, after a week or so exploring. I have about 3 pages ready to hand in and a quick count was circa 750k credits. Once the game is back up I'll check and let you know how much I will now get.

It's not about the amount, it's about making the game easier, it's supposed to be Elite : Dangerous, not Elite : Bear Care.

"- Decreased purchase costs of Vulture"

Ooh sexy.

 

[sfajardo]

New prices? anyone !

 

[Duckfather]

Edit : Grrrr, don't merge threads when I'm replying to 'em!

Ignore

 

[OldSchoolPlayer]

This news will please a lot of people but if we are all flying round in Anacondas by the end of the week, im leaving for Sagittarius A!

Lol... If that does happen, I'll follow you to the black hole too cause it'd probably be more safer there than with all those Anacondas!

 

[Tim Wheatley]

Like the 'more money for exploration'...Im 6 jumps away from landing at a station back in civilisation again, though curious that iv yet to encounter any NPCs. The extra money will be well earned from my short 4000ly trip. Can't wait to get that data sold.

Depends on your angle of entry. I came into populated space near Achenar and saw my first NPC only 200LY out, first human in Liabeze (the system I docked in).

 

[Cmdr Krauser]

-Increased earnings from bounties
-Increased earnings from combat bonds
-Increased earnings from selling exploration data
-Decreased purchase costs of Vulture, FerDeLance and Federal Dropship
-Credited all Commanders who currently own a Vulture, FerDeLance or Dropship with the difference in prices for the ships and armour.
-Increased sale prices of exploration data
-We always recommend Commanders carry enough credits to cover insurance costs, but if the worst does happen, maximum available debt levels have been increased to 600,000 credits. Fly safe, Commanders.

Whoa, it gets better and better.

Ty, FD

just LOL, new generation gamer inside I m not against all change, more income are great, raising the ship prices... why not, i need to check new prices myself... BUT the new 600k insurance is juste a joke !!!! Welcome into Elite: Peacefull

To be fair, the insurance thing caught me off guard too. On the plus side, you still need to pay it off, it does not stack, and it only protects those with the least to lose. For example, it does not cover my moderately upgraded Asp...

 

[Blake_Dragon]

I'm guessing that you're not one who's spent a month or more exploring and just returned to civilized space the past week.

lol, i am. came back from a big ol trip to be back in time for the 1.2 update and sold 5 mil worth of data before 1.2 dropped. *sigh* oh well. probably be a while before the wanderlust bug bites me again and going back that far out, increased pay or not.

 

[Michael Brookes]

Please increase profit from mining as well. Now mining is for away from other way of earnings....

Mining is a bit trickier, but we do have some things planned for miners.

Hey Michael.

Any ETA on the "report a player" function getting fixed ? I have a hell load of combat-logger to report... By the way, it would be nice you start communicating about the action you are planning to take against this plague, if you actually plan something...
