Patch Notes Update Wings Update 1.2.05 Incoming

[Maedhros]

- System Map now opens on correct star system

Thank goodness - this was getting to be a pain.

- Added Pratchett's Disc starport

Nice one

 

[Robert Maynard]

Pratchett's Disc - thanks FD!

 

[hitchhiker54]

- Added Pratchett's Disc starport
+1 rep to the team

Any luck on the docking computer bug with outposts since 1.2?

 

[Anastazius]

Will be making a pilgrimage to Pratchett's Disc starport. Nice one Frontier.

 

[Stonecoldamason]

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.

Umm, yes there is a Leonard Nimoy station, and long may there be naming of stations after famous folk, there should in fact be more. And yes they can arbitrarily name what they want, its their game and we want it. If I could rep away from you I would.

System Map now opens on correct star system

I noticed this yesterday. I wondered what I was doing wrong!

 

[krysohmyz]

It's in HIP 74290.

You guys are beyond awesome.

 

[LARY STARKEEPER]

And new paintjobs ??

 

[Spacefreeker]

Pleased with that, the group members location problem was rather annoying, nice to see where the members are at a quick glance.

- Decrease chance for being scanned if you are in a low conspicuous rated ship – such as a Sidewinder

Are they talking about stations here?

Stations dont scan you

 

[Genar-Hofoen]

It's ok, sit down, I'll make you a nice, hot cup of tea.

I think that's my line, stranger.

 

[Chip Patton]

Thanks Ed!

No news about the game/system freeze in the galaxy map? The bug makes me paranoid whenever I have to use the map.

Also:

Would you be so kind and list all ships that fall under this change?

Obviously not the ship in your siggy

 

[sharpiejas]

It's great to have all these regular updates but any chance of uploading them at 6 in the morning? I now have to go and do RL things on my day off! BOO!

 

[nathandi20]

So if im doing rebel comms or blackbox missions i do it in a sidewinder so im not going to be scanned.

 

[Deepfriedmal]

It's in HIP 74290.

Thanks. I for one will be visiting...

 

[FerretWithASpork]

Is there a starport named after Leonard Nimoy?

Yes... Yes there is... It was added like 2 minor patches ago.. And the forums and reddit were all abuzz requesting it..

 

[Rubbernuke]

Nice little update! I love the tribute station, and the low profiles for Haulers, Sidewinders and Adders is an excellent addition.

 

[QuantumHD]

And still no fix for Rank missions not appearing. To this day I constantly get a mission with an invite to PLX 695 when I already have it, and no Federal Mission is showing up to this day. Come on it was an issue since 1.0!

The game is chokfull of stations named after famous people, George Lucas in Leesti comes to mind. The Nimoy station orbiting Vulcan is also a thing. There are likely loads of them in there, not to mention the hordes of NPCs with names paying tribute to one thing or another.

 

[AnnuverScotinExile]

So, Edward, we are still stuffed on explorer ranking and have to do lots more to get to Elite, because of the revenue buffing not being backdated? I thought you said that we would be pleased with what you were doing on that?
