Not sure if this has been answered but i noticed a few asking. If you type in the Station name in Navigation it will take you to the star system it's in.

Another great update BTW.
 
Awesome! Cool fixes thank you.

Any word on being able to turn in community goals that don't currently let you? Nagaiawang, Tanmark, and Yembo won't let me turn 'em in.
 
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.

Dont forget you can also look for station names in the galaxy map, remember there are several stations sharing the same names however.
 
True.....but....

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.

There is a station named after Leonard Nimoy. It's right outside of the Vulcan planet. I don't recall what star system, but I'll find in later today. ^-^

First posting here (and anywhere about the game) ... i love it so far (played the old elites long time ago) and I hope new stuff will be added for a long time to come ... willing to pay for major updates.
Question: i have a 750 k bounty claim with gold legal partners (yes, freng system, i ve found this issue on the web) but visiting Freng system and finding Gold legal partners i couldn t redeem my bounties there ...??? It seems i can t redeem them anywhere. I hope you can patch minor faction bounty claims to be more clearly about where to redeem them. Information is too brief and unclear in the panel, and the example of the gold legal partners? I ve located them but still no redeeming possible ...?

Has someone an idea?

Anyway, keep up the good work!

You should really post in the Bug Reporting forum rather than in a patch thread where it'll likely go unnoticed by the QA team. Be sure to read the pinned topics in that section before posting though.

Is this a fix for a small number of starports, or are we going to be losing stations that take more than 5 minutes to get to?

I certainly hope not, I love the fact that some stations are just blisteringly distant.

It doesn't change the distances, just a problem arising with the server with a few stations at large distances.

LHS 3006 ^^

Not far from Eranin, if you were part of the pre gamma era ;)

Thanks for the update!

- Smaller ships now better at smuggling - Decrease chance for being scanned if you are in a low conspicuous rated ship – such as a Sidewinder

Cool addition! A small change that makes smuggling more complex and intriguing - and a step further towards how smuggling was envisioned in the DDA!


- System Map now opens on correct star system

Thanks, always getting the last star system at first was kind of annoying.


- Added Pratchett's Disc starport

Great! Definitely going to visit it!
 
Thanks Chaps! Love to see more tweaks and fixes. I like to play with toys that work rather than ones that are broken. I'd rather use a cheap phone than an iphone with a broken screen. In fact I get more excited about fixes than new features!


This is interesting

Nice! However, what everyone has been saying (well almost everyone) is if you want to make smuggling worth while make it balanced so the rewards are greater than just vanilla trading. All that needs to be done is put the price up on illegal good sales (not 'stolen'goods) so they are almost always worth much more than a regular sale. Not salvage. Smuggling and picking up random space junk are very different things.

Well done and more power to you and the Frontier team. Looking forward to trying out some of the community goals this evening

Leonard Nimoy?
Yes.

Robin Williams?
Maybe. Haven't looked. I will tonight.

The crew of the Challenger Shuttle?
Maybe. Haven't looked. I will tonight.

At this point I would like to ask if there is a station (or planet or other object) named after the following?

Douglas Adams
Robert A. Heinlein
Isaac Asimov
James Doohan ("Scotty")
DeForest Kelly (Dr. McCoy {"Bones"})
Gene Rodenberry
Majel Barrett
Andreas Katsulas ("G'Kar")

And if not, please "Make it so."


PS. what about the crew of the Columbia?
And where's "Armstrong Landing"?
