*** The Official Elite: Dangerous Thread ***

did a trade hop journey last night from eddb, was nice to to something different to my usual back and forth journey. one of the legs netted me 1.6 mill credits! earning 3.5k profit p/t on imperial slaves!
 
Tried this again last night after becoming very frustrated with the constant double scanning over the last few days and I didn't have a single double scan, I also managed to bag not one, not two, but three undiscovered Herbig AE/BE Stars all within 250Ly of each other :D Plus a couple of undiscovered Neutron Stars, I am sorely tempted to head back now just to cash in and get my name on them. :cool:
 
Yes, the latest updates really does seem to have nailed the double scan issues, I've had to do it once in about a hundred jumps over the last couple of days, makes exploring much better :)
 
I take it all back, been having issues for the last few hours with double, triple and even quadruple scans required for data to show up :(
 
There's a new server update (1.3.0.7) this morning which apparently fixes that. Again.

No fix for stuttering in supercruise or at RESs in patch notes.

They kinda got a lot of it sorted towards the end of v1.2. Then they released v1.3 which was clearly based on old code, didn't carry over some of the fixes and a whole heap of stuff got broken again, along with issues with the new stuff added.

That said, I'm still having fun. :)
 
Im sorry to say im pessimistic about FD and this game.. check out the thread on graphical quality degradation on frontier forums....boggles the mind FD would do this....

Game at present state is not worth £40 in my honest opinion. Maybe £20 -25.

Some game breaking bugs still in the game...and i think their networking code is shockingly poor. Game feels like an MMO but for only 32 players on the server. And the lag issues you get with even 10 human players in the same instance...just depressing because core flight mechanics and combat is really good.

Sad to hear this to be honest, I know the devs are actively looking into the graphical issues and have stated that there is no intentional downgrade whatsoever.

I've not come across any game breaking bugs at all and the networking is pretty stable in the main, certainly been in systems with far more that ten players with no lag at all but that's not to say I haven't seen any.

Personally I think it is well worth the £40 price tag :)
 
My brother and me have the game and we have had loads of trouble in wings connecting(staying in same instance) and stability. I've also had really weird interdictions a couple of times (not many yeah) where the other person has lagged out (or just disappeared from the same instance) For me thats part of core gameplay not just an add-on and for it to be buggy like that is annoying. I will probably go back to solo because the network infrastructure for open i feel is really poor. It feels like a very very limited mmo..built not on mmo structures. Would have been happier if they had just done a more complete offline game. I still love the game just not as much lol
 
That's fair enough, I've not had any major issues with wings at all recently, though I've not done much due to exploration :) So long as they keep working on it I'm happy :)
 
I get issues in wings in open play but if ur on private group it works perfectly.

I mostly play in private group with our clan and not had any issues for ages now. Just no crossfire.
 
Got blown up again last night, had a guy interdict me, turned and started mixing it up with him and his buddy dropped in as well, needless to say getting into a furball with 2 actual players, then bouncing off of one of them didnt help my chances.... :D
