Elite: Dangerous Dev Tracker

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.

I'm very pleased to say that earlier today the finance department...I mean the dev tea... Read more

This is a brief post to let you know that the release of Update 11 has been moved to the 8th of March. This will allow the development team more time to properly prepare content such as Fleet Carrier interiors and include other fixes.

The new release date is subject to change, however if it does we will let you know in advance.

Edit:
Greetings Commanders.
Due to an unforeseen issue we will be moving Odyssey Update 11 by a few days. We will keep you updated when we have more details to share.

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!

Forgive me, it's been such a rush to actually get back into a routine again after last Thursday's happenings.
After scrambling to return to our home base and FDEV Towers, Bruce and I are back to business as usual, if a little sore in the head (probably from the scuffle, of course, but no doubt mostly down to the sheer shock of it all!).

Anyway, this week's Discover Scanner is now live for your consumption: www.elitedangerous.com/news/discovery-scanner-24102022

A couple of segments in there for you... Read more

How do you pronouce SYNUEFE anyway.

Think of the most complicated way of pronouncing it and you'll be close.

Whilst I think the on-foot emotes have a lot of value, I do agree a similar system for ships would be beneficial. Tying that into NPC behaviour is a different kettle of fish though and would be a relatively more significant undertaking. The ship 'emotes' - how do you envision them working? Translated text into one of the game's supported languages?

Greetings Commanders.

Welcome to Sally's Space Swag Emporium where I'm here to tell you (dramatic point to camera) about our latest release today, on the Elite Dangerous Gamestore!

Interesting post, thank you! As far as new content goes, the Azimuth saga has been regularly adding new mysteries in the galaxy for players to come together and solve. Similarly we saw the return of Galnet and Community Goals and like you said, the recent CG was a huge success in terms of player participation. There's still plenty more to come in terms of narrative, but as others in the thread have said, a lot of the beauty of Elite comes from the player-created events, which I'm hoping the Community Event Calendar will help support - as well as more frequent shout outs from us in the CM team via streams and weekly posts soon.

Greetings Commanders,

Many of you will be aware that we announced an upcoming process which will allow players to copy progress from their console Commander profiles to PC. If you missed that announcement, you can find more details here. Please note:
[LIST]
[*]The original console profile will remain playable
[*]Only one profile may be copied per copy of Elite Dangerous
[*]This will be a one-time only process
[/LIST]

We're happy to confirm that this process is scheduled for release in September. The implementation has a lot of m... Read more

Is there anyone alive at FDev ?

I find the term 'alive' so very limiting.

Hi all. Just to let you know we are investigating this. If you can, please contribute to this Issue with any details you can provide.

[JUSTIFY]Greetings Commanders,

I want to speak directly about the lack of official streams and reduced communications from our social channels since the start of 2022. I understand the concerns this has caused and hope this statement goes some way to alleviate them.

The whole team are excited to share all of the upcoming content for this year including new updates, content expansions and the next major phase in the ongoing narrative following the Azimuth Saga finale. Beyond this, we also look forward to sharing our new streaming format when the series returns as a weekly show. Changes will include new segments, year-round Twitch Drop campaigns and studio-quality production once we move back into the office.

However, there are several questions that must be answered internally to inform this communication plan. It is important to me that we address key subjects by priority and when we do that the information we provide is clear. The team and I are working incr... Read more

Hey all - I'll chase this with the dev team :)

Greetings Commanders,

We have an important announcement to share with regards to future game modes as of Update 14 which is due 29 November! Read all about it on our website and let us know what you think in the comments below:

Greetings Commanders!

Another week is coming to a close so lets sum up those GalNet articles you might have missed or couldn't be bothered to read!

Thanks for the kind post, [USER=28578]@Vingtetun[/USER], I've passed it along to make sure the praise is received (and noticed).

Your lovely words are also appreciated [USER=132673]@The Lawful[/USER], I'm blessed to work with such a brilliant team. You've also earned the highest respect and admiration from us!

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.

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!

Apologies for bringing you your Discovery Scanner a day later than usual this week, but here we are! Let's talk about all things Elite Dangerous.

Fleet Carrier Interiors & Update 11 Feedback

First up this week, I want to talk about Fleet Carriers, specifically, your feedback to the launch of interiors, and Update 11 as a whole. We're very happy to see that the vast majority of Commanders are enjoying the update, and of course the jump sequence that I like to bring up every week because it's just THAT good. Your feedback, however, has been incredibly valuable as we look to improve the experience further moving forward. Of all the feedback, I believe the following are the most prevalent:

[*]Bartender Service storage cap (already tweaked)
[*]Bartender Service sell pricing cap
[*]You would like to use menus whilst sitting
[*]The panel next to the Commander's chair in ... Read more
