Patch Notes Update Wings Update 1.2.05 Incoming

Thread Closed: Not open for further replies.
I read the first 5 or so (got bored of the TP +1 messages) and posted. My apologies.

So, is it actually done yet and why do we have to wait for 1.3 before we get to use it?

Likewise I might be Elite soon and never see the Right On Commander when it is added.
No problem! I think a change of this magnitude only comes in mayor updates, thus 1.3. To find dev answers fast, press the elite icon right by the post number in the OP, and it will take you directly to the next dev post. Great way to filter the thread for only relevant information!
 
Some long needed fixes here (system map shortcut opens proper system, Michael's hinted smaller profile for Sidewinder and other small ships make them less likely targets for scanning, thus enabling smuggling intro, etc) , although there are still more needed, but I guess some of them are deferred to 1.3 due of more game breaking nature. Thank you FD!

Presumably, 1.3 is adding human transportion, as a Sidewinder can carry very little cargo so seems of little advantage at the minute, but one or two people who want a low-key ride could work.
 
Something that has been sorted that is not on the change list - decals can now be added to the Clipper.

Passenger transportation is something I'll admit to looking forward to. It'll give the Orca a purpose beyond looking pretty and being just anotehr freighter as well. Alongside that, looking forward tot eh day where my Cobras co-pilot seat is not conspicuously empty ^^
 
While I approve of this, I think it sets a dangerous (pun intended) precedent for people to "request" in-game tributes for famous people who are no longer with us. Is there a starport named after Leonard Nimoy? Robin Williams? The crew of the Challenger Shuttle? You can't arbitrarily out of the blue add a starport in tribute to someone, as noble as the gesture may be, without risking upsetting some people for not adding a starport named after other famous people.

Whilst you cannot please all of the people all of the time, therefore only some of the people some of the time. You are in the never happy group and wish to complain on behalf of those who might be offended. Please refrain from telling people they should be offended or could be offended as it offends me!
 
It's based on ship type, but predominantly the smaller the ship is the less likely they are to be scanned by the Authorities.

So it's not just certain ships are "smuggling ships". It's more like a sliding scale based on size? How exactly does this effect the scan? Does it make the scan take longer, or just reduce the chance of Authorities to actually attempt a scan? And does this apply anywhere in space, not just around space stations?
 
the download rates since 1.02 are extremely bad, just 0,1-0,2mb/s.
every update since then at this speed. normally i get 1,2mb and up.
german here. is it just me?

currently even worse at 0,06. this will take forever... sigh.
 
Thanks for the update! :)

It means you're less likely to be scanned.

Leonard Nimoy was added in 1.2.0 release.

No Robin Williams I don't think.

Also the two that have recently been added are directly connected with Sci-Fi and Fantasy genres, but your point is still valid.

Robin Williams does actually have SciFi connections so I would still be happy for a Williams Rest or Shazbot port. I think the only thing that could disqualify him is that he died before the game was officially released.
 
Its definitely getting much worse, and is just pitched at a frequency to be utterly irritating :(
