[DeathDealerGod]

no fix for shinrarta not having clipper armor or well anywhere for that matter if its in game i have yet to see it anywhere

 

[Caucasian]

here's hoping that it'll fix friends not being in the same instance -.-

 

[Jaybong]

any of this going to address getting the alternate mission option before the location in assassination missions, bugging it to where you never see the location guy at all?

 

[woodhouse]

I went back to Solo because hyperjumps were taking ages. In solo it's back to normal, last time I checked Mobius it was still taking very long every 1 out of 2 jumps.
Has this problem been solved now?

 

[captain slow]

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!

I sympathise with you - the Purple Fortune Company (amongst others) owe me money but I have no idea where they are. I never thought to keep a diary of what wars I fight in to claim bonds, bounties etc because I (foolishly) assumed my onboard computer would do that for me. It does tell me most of the time. Maybe I've upset it so it's not talking to me. Anyway, thanks dev team for all the fixes. Any chance of adding a "fix" to the counter offer mission problems where if you shoot the guy offering you the alternate mission then the original mission stays as it was originally? (Obviously I'm joking, unless you'd be willing to give it a try, in which case I'm completely serious)

How about Binky statuettes, or Nanny Ogg's Soup

I'd rather see Nanny's Carrot and Oyster pie for sale (carrots so you can see in the dark and oysters so there's something to look at)

hi FD!

With update 1.2.0.5, I find some annoyance with the Targets Panel on our left side of the HUD: now, it is very very near of our POV, and I cannot read the left side of the panel completely (i.e. the name of the system).

Thanks for the hard work!

.. or mission branch resetting kill count ..

https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=120300

Oh yes, this one is a royal pain.

The thing I don't understand about this is that it's been around for months but, as a programmer myself, I find it really hard to envisage how this can possibly be anything other than trivial to fix (you've got this state value 'nKills' which goes up every time you kill an appropriate target, you get a mission branching event and 'nKills' goes back to zero - either your code is explicitly setting it back to zero or else you're creating a new state for the branched mission and the code is failing to copy the old 'nKills' value across).

Is it possible this is not considered a bug but a deliberate feature which is why it hasn't been fixed?

 

[El presidente]

No..he'll just be dead, thus cold and no "rest of his life"

Tell me you were joking or misread the quote... please.

 

[guidomescalito]

- Added Pratchett's Disc starport

very nice touch guys

 

[graham.reeds]

Still no 'Right On Commander' message for levelling up!

Also can you target an astronomical body from the system map yet?

These are the two things I really want to see!

 

[sfajardo]

I'm getting error


Failed to synchronise time with server


Everytime, and only with this game, I have to reset my router, why ?

 

[XStreet]

Does anyone have issue with performance on beautiful empire stations?

i have GTX 980

 

[F1Racer]

"Fix issue with starports being too far in deep space from their parent body"

Does this move Hutton in closer ??

Brooks already answered this. Didn't make it into 1.2 and it's coming in 1.3. Check page 14 of this same thread...

 

[Joe Spivey]

It should be foodstuff - "Rat on a Stick"

Stronginthearm Personal Weapons

 

[sfajardo]

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

I'm so exited to use my shieldless sidewinder to smuggle 10T ( rolleyes )

 

[zarrazee]

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.

Some people will be upset if FD tribute the name of a station to someone and others won't. It is that individual's choice whether they are upset or not.

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.

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!

You just have to keep doing more Federations missions for any related factions to reach the next threshold, at which point the silly permit messages change to the next permit name and so on and on, but with a bigger missions count until the next level.
