Why what is wrong with it?

- it is not visible on the BB anymore, new players can't accept it
- yesterday after the patch the number of contributors reset from almost 2k to zero. People were counted as soon as they logged in anymore
- everyone is single top commander until they turn in bounties
- you lose reputation with the faction that gave the goal for doing the goal
- onionhead is already for sale in large quantities even though the goal hasn't been completed yet
 
-Any fixes for the stuck in hyper space issues?
Hope so too

- Oh, fingers crossed on the clipping bug.. :)
Yeah I get that one too, during interdictions usually (actually, i think exclusively)

- And the issue with the system map showing the previous system until you exit and go back in?
I thought i was hallucinating. So it does happen.

Edit: heh, so the reason we are 'stuck in hyperspace' could be because we are actually heading somewhere else, if the game doesnt always know where we are?

mmmm, jumped into a USS about 10 mins before the close - bagged 2 wanted rascles for 9k and 5k - got to an outpost station and was only able to claim the 5k one. Will the 9k one be available at an orbital?

On top of all, the made this upgrade when the goal is about to finish. We have some minutes left
 
Can I ask how you decide when to do an update? This particular batch of changes doesn't, on the face of it, appear to warrant it (although I'm sure the people who are affected by these particular issues, you know, those who are unable to play because of the erroneous Te Kaha stellar forge data, will disagree). Sorry, love you guys really but I am genuinely curious, especially in this case.

Yeah, the people who can't fly their Vultures because head tracking means they can't see anything except the inside of the pilot's seat when they boost would probably take issue with your assertion!

Anyway, I get the impression that they're trying to triage the stuff broken by 1.2 a bit like they did when they broke a ton of stuff in 1.1- pushing out fixes in (usually dailyish) batches at they get them. As the more obvious higher-priority brokenness subsides, the schedule will probably slow down again, until the next big patch that breaks lots of things.

Yesterday saw some even more frequent and urgent patching, but that's understandable. I think they're still fine-tuning their routine, though.

Side note: Whenever you patch, someone's going to complain, due to the capricious nature of timezones. I always laugh when someone complains about "maintenance at peak playing time" :D


Clipping bug? Haven't occidentally poked my head out into space yet...

Yeah, there is (hopefully was) a bug where the camera position wasn't properly clamped, and the view could get stuck inside the pilot's chair/model- especially badly when people are using head tracking which offers a little front/back movement, very nasty when manoeuvring, when all you can see is black. Boosting also caused the same problem (the visual "pushback" effect from the acceleration could put the camera too far back too).

Any fix for not being able to Invite to Wing sometimes? Despite we're in the same server (open / group ) sometimes the wings bug out and I cant invite people or recieve invites. The invite is automaticaly refused and sometimes the invite sound rings and no invite appears in screen.
 
Honestly though, I'd much rather have the issue fixed that pops a instant KOS bounty on you for shooting hostile targets before your scanner is finished. Obviously if they're red or flashing red, you should't have to wait for a scanner.

This is a killer for me. You see 4-5 FedSec ships attacking an Anaconda, you know it has a bounty, but you engage just before the scanner confirms it, so all the FedSec ships immediately forget about the pirate god Conda with the 166k bounty and go after you.
 
Just wanted to say how good this game is, but 5 updates in as many days, come on! Sure it's great to see devs doing great support, but NOT when one fix breaks something else. Also, the 1.2 wings update at 2gb really needed more server bandwidth. When you have 130mb broadband, you do not expect to see a download crawling along like an asthmatic snail.

I downloaded it at 3-4mb/s

To be fair, it's both good and bad. It's a shame that there was such patchy testing/ignoring of beta bug reports for 1.2. On the other hand, the recovery (from yet another major patch bugfest) has been relatively quick, good-natured and agile.

They can do amazingly well, and amazingly badly, it's confusing. The game is still hella fun, though.
 
Graphic stuttering while changing ships in Hudon Dock

No Galaxy/system map fixes?
Just letting you know of two instances today. While docked in Hudson Dock I went to Station services/ shipyard/ selected cobra/ then stored my Vulture while cobra was loading and screen flickered with dozens of pad warnings from the dock stating that I was loitering. I had to exit to menu, then was in my cobra. I went back to shipyard and selected my vulture, and stored my cobra, then it did it again. Thanks for all you do!!!
