Patch Notes Update Wings Update 1.2.06 Incoming

[Devious_Button]

No fix for the broken assassination missions yet?

wait you mean fix the only missions worth doing?.. no no why do that?.. there is so much empty nothingness to see..

when you need 60 mill for a ship with a rebuy of 3 mill id rather be doing 1000's missions that pay 15k.. honestly this game..

(the work around is as follows) if the first guy you see is not Mr "did you hear" or the other location givers, shoot him once and jump out..
something as simple as adding a "no i want to kill your boss to get some real money" button is crazy talk

Some MMO's I play, servers go down for half a day!

every 2 weeks ?

 

[digitus impudicus]

Will this help with graphics stuttering?

Or with the constant crashing to reboot (without bluescreens even) at the end of the countdown in hyperspace jumps? Completely unplayable for me under the last version, will try the new one tonight.

Hi everyone,

- Fix to allow Commanders to remove old Albino Mammoths from their cargo holds
- Stock the last few remaining ships and modules at Jameson Memorial

Ed

I don't understand those two, what's Jameson memorial ?

And What's an Albino Mammoth ?

 

[Silence Will Fall]

More paints pls

Your Video "Lugh on fire" was a very good video sir. One of me favorites about Elite so far.
Beware tho. You've been using S.Troopers OST a bit at your ease lately
Keep up the good work

As for the patch, there are nice things to see... I often was, along with my friends victim of the "one second invite". I'm glad it should be gone.

But it brings me a sadness not to see the Anaconda missions fixed.

Hope next time

just this sentence.

Oh dear seems the hauling wepons mission in Qureshi Enterprise has gone from the Bulletin Board. No reward just gone.

Good News this is back on the Bulletin Board.

And What's an Albino Mammoth ?

1) A station, the founder's world/pilot's federation one.

2) A rare cargo.

any way you guys could make the star port not take an hour to fly to in Alpha Centauri. Its like .22ly from the star and take like 90 min to fly there in supercruise. cant hyperspace there.

 

[Khelavaster]

are bounty missions fixed?

- Stock the last few remaining ships and modules at Jameson Memorial

Just tested: The Imperial Clipper is still missing...


Edit: After logging out and in the Clipper is visible now. Well done...

I know its a dumb complaint but it really is a pain to go there so I avoid it but I do see some missions on the bulletin board to go there. I love the game though! best game ive ever played I have to say. Addicted... Very very bad for my marriage lol.

I am not seeing any difference, at least there are the same ships as before the patch. Not sure which modules so can't confirm that?

Michael Brookes, a while back, had mentioned micro jumps were being considered to traverse systems with distant companion stars.

Ahh, found it

EDIT: further discussion on it https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=110112&p=1716770&viewfull=1#post1716770

EDIT2: Also, appears to be some discord among the FD team on microjumps...MB is against them (I bet it is Mr. Evans that wants them, lol)

This would still keep some planets and stations at a large distance for expansive systems...good for hiding out and making the extra effort to visit out of the way places

Though the 500k+ ls journeys from a desolate part of the system (where you dropped in) to where everything actually is, should be a LOT easier...please do this FD!

 

[Soda Popinski]

Factions can have elections? Nice!


Wut?

More info on this please.

- Fix to allow Commanders to remove old Albino Mammoths from their cargo holds

I bet that's never ever been said in a sentence before...

Not true. That happens to be my safe word.

Mine was done before i could make a post on the forum...

Edit:
Bug report:
A generated mission probably wants to say something 'There's $$$ to be earned' , but the string cuts at the first $ and the mission text is cut short.
Dollar sign probably needs escaping in your code

And so it begins!

I really hope it isn't 9 hours for me

 

[dead_rock]

It should be just a few MB - would be nice to be able to download the patch as soon as the servers are down though ^^

 

[TriumphANT]

Looks like about 200MB or thereabouts. Didn't take long at all (about 1 minute?) on 100Mbit fibre.
