Elite: Dangerous Dev Tracker

Greetings Commanders,

The calendar is currently set up to accept a range of event types, from races to mining meetups.

Thought I would put this as its own post as it may get lost and it's my birthday so hey may get special treatment lol cheers in anticipation [USER=266302]@Zac c*cken[/USER] [USER=249391]@Bruce G[/USER] [USER=255952]@Arthur Tolmie[/USER]

Apologies if this has already been mentioned or is in wrong area of the forum lets just say I'm not firing on all thrusters at the moment, I would just like to ask if there could be an official post identifying what exactly will be done with ED on consoles (I don't mean transfers) presently I'm unsure as to what the future is with regards to storylines Cg's etc. I've seen a lot of suppositions as to what may happen but nothing official, initially it wasn't very clear as to how "cut off" ED on consoles would be whether storylines would still progress whether we would still be included in cg's what exactly critical updates meant with the only clarification upcoming...

Greetings Commanders,

Hope you're having a fine week so far.
Here to have a brief check in today regarding an issue around some rather nervous noises heard coming from Commander wallets, regarding Fleet Carrier upkeep costs looking a little on the heavy side.
Some upkeep costs were reported as being inflated by as much as triple the expected totals.

Issue:
Carrier upkeep was failing to be deducted under the regular, planned cadence, causing it to stack up and show inflated totals in Carrier management.

Console Account Transfers
As announced in our post last week, we're very happy to be able to tell you that console account transfers are making progress behind the scenes, with the dev team hard at work to make sure as much as possible is transferred over should you wish to copy your Commander from console to PC. Secondly, if you've purchased Elit... Read more

Greetings Commanders.

It's been noted on many fronts that there has been some concern and questioning around combat bond rewards for kills made around Capital Ships.

Issue Tracker: https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/51119
[LIST]
[*]"The new experimental capital-class ships are able to inflict damage to Thargoids making it possible for them to deliver the killing blow to the scouts and interceptors but by doing so, the players won't get any combat bonds regardless of their participation."

You'll now notice that this ticket has been closed 'By Design'.

As stated in the information provided on closure:
The team enabled Capital Ships to be viable receivers of kill credi... Read more

The official Elite Dangerous livestream will not take place this week. We'll post in the future to confirm when they will resume.

Hi Commanders!
Just a note to say this was passed along to the team and we've had word that a relog, as of now, should resolve this for you (a little 'magic wanding' from server side).

You may be wondering why the Discovery Scanner is being posted to the website instead of the forums - let's talk about it!

There are a number of reasons why, those being:

[LIST]
[*]It's much easier to manage from a single location.
[*]It looks much nicer displayed on our website!
[*]We want more of you to discover the community section of our website, including ... Read more

Greetings Commanders!

We've been incredibly impressed with the amount you've contributed to the CG's that launched yesterday already, so much so that you had almost completed one of them by the time I logged in to work this morning! With that in mind, the team have discussed our options and have decided to add very high extension tiers to the CG's in order to give players a chance to engage with the content over the intended period.

We will of course still count your early efforts in terms of the overall success of the CG, we won't be taking that win away from you. It's been a fantastic combined effort from every Commander involved!

Morning all, team are aware and investigating this one.

Greetings Commanders,

In light of the upcoming bank holidays, Update 12's release date is moving to 7 June. This is to ensure the development team are available to monitor the changes post-launch. Thank you for understanding!

In case you missed it, we discussed some of the expected changes in our latest episode of Frameshift Live:
