Elite: Dangerous Dev Tracker

Don't know if you noticed that a 2+ rep haulage gets you more than a 2+ rep courier. Shrug, not sure why. I used to stack courier and haulage, made the grind go a lot quicker. :sleep:

Hi there,

No it doesn't.

It might have historically, but the "+" system has been based on the absolute value of the reputation change for several years now.

Thanks,
Dom

Greetings Commanders!

I'm back after a week's break so apologies if I'm a little slow to get caught up today! Let's dig into some Elite Dangerous community news.

Community Goals
After a busy week recently with multiple possible community goals, the galaxy is taking a slight breather over the past week! Let's take the opportunity to recognise those Commanders once again who were the top contributors to the most recent CG's:

I think it's fair to say that Commander Namix is a strong advocate of Salvation, appearing in both lists! Congratulations to all those involved, I'm sure Salvation is most pleased with your efforts.

Now that we've had a recent mining CG, I'm interested to know your ship and outfitting of choice during the event! Any unusual builds on display or was it the tried and tested miners like the Python and Cutter out there last week?

Hello! These beacons are currently in testing and should be in-game soon.

Greetings Commanders,

We’d like to take this opportunity to address the Tiling Planetary Features issue from the Issue Tracker.

After spending some time to observe the effects of the issue while weighing-up the costs to resolve it, we have decided to focus those resources elsewhere. Reducing or preventing the tiling effect would require a deep-overhaul of fundamental systems, which in turn would disrupt other aspects of the game. This would inevitably take time away from developing and improving other elements such as performance, bug fixes, and new content. We cannot justify this level of change and a re-generation of the galaxy in Elite. This is unlikely to change in the future so the issue will be closed, freeing up votes on the tracker for other issues.

We’... Read more

Greetings Commanders,

Some issues have been detected in our final round of checks before the launch of Update 11. Therefore we're taking extra time to apply fixes and moving the release to next week. Apologies for the further delay, but we trust what's coming will have you on the edge of your seat.

Greetings Commanders!

We're now post-Update 11 and Fleet Carrier interiors are in the game! It's been an absolute joy to watch you all experiencing the jump for the first time, and wandering around the interiors, whether they are yours or someone else's! With Update 11 in the rear-view mirror, let's take a quick look at this week.

Update 11 Hotfix

We're looking to release a hotfix this week to address some of the issues discovered since the release of Update 11! We're aiming for the first half of the week for this hotfix right now, but we'll let you know concrete information soon. There shouldn't be significant downtime (think 15-30 minutes, not hours).

Hi there. The sale should not have ended early and is still on until the 11th. Our devs have investigated and it should now be available again.

Greetings Commanders,

We’d like to thank you all for your patience whilst we’ve been working on our communications and development plans for the remainder of the year.

Following the launch of Odyssey, our primary focus has been on performance, optimisation and bug fixing, along with adding more features. This focus has had a knock-on effect with regards to our plans for this year and beyond and delayed our communications.

We understand the concern and frustration this has caused and hope this post goes some way to alleviate those feelings. Below we discuss profile transfers for console players and give an overview of the updates coming before the end of 2022.

Console Profile Transfers

We can now confirm that players will be able to copy their profiles from console to PC in light of Odyssey’s cancellation on Xbox and PlayStation. This process will be time limited and optional. We will provide a date for this process once it i... Read more

Greetings Commanders,

Elite Dangerous is a game close to my heart.

It’s no secret that Odyssey’s launch was less than ideal, including the need to split the PC/console player base to focus on a PC-only launch. Since Odyssey’s release in May 2021, we have worked tirelessly to improve the Odyssey experience on PC, and whilst we have made great progress there is still more to be done. We have been supporting the pre-Odyssey and post-Odyssey codebases since.

Over the last several months, we have been wrestling with the best way to move forward, and it is with a heavy heart we have decided to cancel all console development. We need to be able to move forward with the story of the game, and in order for us to do this we need to focus on a single codebase. Elite Dangerous will continue on console as it is now together with critical updates, but we will focus on new content updates on PC on the post-Odyssey codebase.

We appreciate this news is not what ou... Read more

Greetings Commanders,

Thank you for all of your feedback since the release of Update 11. We'll be releasing Hotfix Update 11.1 this afternoon to address some of your feedback and issues raised. You can get the details here: https://www.elitedangerous.com/update-notes/4-0-11-1

Greetings Commanders!

Apologies that this Discovery Scanner is coming a little later than usual, it's been a busy one but now it's time to round out the day with some Elite Dangerous talk as we approach the one-year anniversary of Odyssey!


Update 12 & Frameshift Live
We're back with a new episode of Frameshift Live this Thursday, and as Update 12 is due later this month, we're going to be having a sneak preview at some of the changes the team have been working on since the last update. Alongside that, we'll have our usual community highlights as well as most-likely chaotic gameplay and Twitch Drops! Make sure to join us on Twitch at 4PM BST on Thursday 19th May for Frameshift Live #8!

Heya, whilst not officially supported using DXVK will not lead to a ban, this is the same with ReShade.

This is all very much intentional and there have been no errors in testing. The undersuit (and all parts) get their name from the entire pack they belong to, as is convention. I understand on this occasion they are harder to distinguish in the chest pieces but the suits are all correct.

Greetings Commanders,

You may have received an inbox message today informing you that you have received a Brewer Corp decal from the recent Colonia Bridge CG's. Due to the recent delay of Update 11, these decals are actually not visible in-game yet. This issue will be resolved next week once the update is released.

Apologies for any inconvenience.

UPDATE:

It turns out all the rewards were flipped on their head 🙃

In short, if the CG reward text said "TOP X % of Commanders get Y" then the BOTTOM X % of Commanders would have gotten Y instead.

The plan of action is as follows:

Colonia Bridge Phase 4 Correction

[LIST]
[*]Players who were given the red and blue emissive decals by mistake will keep those decals.
[*]Players who should have received the red and blue emissive decals but have not yet received them (this is currently the top 25% of participants) will have this added as s... Read more

Greetings Commanders!

We hope you’re having a wonderful start to your week. Here’s a round-up of what’s happening in Elite:


Community Event Calendar

Now that we're well into April, the Community Event Calendar already features plenty of events this month! If you haven't already, check it out for player-led events to participate in or even submit your own. If you'd like to have your event featured, please make sure to include as much detail as possible. If we're unable to post your submission to the calendar, we'll r... Read more

o7 everyone,

It's time for this week's Discovery Scanner post! Let's talk Elite Dangerous.

Heatsink Module Update
In a GalNet article on the 13th, we mentioned that the megaships in the Coalsack Sector Vu-O B6-6 and Onoros systems will provide pre-engineered heatsinks. However, these were recently offered as a CG reward and we want to extend their exclusivity for a while longer to uphold the importance of CG rewards. Therefore, these megaships will stock the heatsinks, but at a later date.

Non-Damaged Starports
The team have noted that a few starports that you may have expected to be damaged last week were miraculously unharmed. Look out for this to be rectified this week, most likely Thursday. The Thargoids won't give up that easily. Maniacal laughter ensues

Vintage Intrepid Pack

Greetings Commanders. Back again.

We are imminently deploying a fix for Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Commanders to address the following issue that was introduced with hotfix 12.01 earlier today:
[LIST]
[*]Typing within the comms menu, as well as typing within the Galaxy map and other areas of text entry within game, currently fails to override Commander keybinds.
[LIST]
[*]If you were typing messages/chatting to fellow Commanders or searching for locations in game and had actions bound to specific keys you were using to type with, the bindings associated with those keys would still inflict the actions associated with them.
[/LIST]
[/LIST]
As you can imagine, downtime is at an absolute minimum for this one.

One additional known issue to be aware of, which was not previously posted in the 12.01 notes:
[LIST]
[*]Scatter rocks will appear 'flat black' on terrain after using full screen UI.
[/LIST]
