I did do this without a cm messaging me :p and completely alone, but a lot of luck I guess

You didn't see my message?!

I will not tell anyone how to do this to not break forum rules, but the Odyssey day one carrier duping bug is back in Elite.

This will affect many people accidentally, but then has the risk of transferring into a situation where everyone is duping nefariously.

Not the first report I've seen of this through my initial caffeine hit, that made my eyes go wide as heck this morning.
Absolutely on it o7

Point is [USER=188830]@sallymorganmoore[/USER], if you send these issues up the chain (and I really hope you do cause the bug report staff aren't even reading their reports)

Noooo sweat, I don't expect you to go through the tens of responses I've done to the weapon values in this thread already but I can assure you that I've been on this since the update dropped and reports started coming in :)

"SyKo, post: 9527875, member: 181814"

Please note that odyssey and horizons are seeing different results. Some of what is fixed for them, is still broken for us.

We did have some fixes as you know, but today I'm taking all of these remaining ones to sift through, so things are happening. for sure. Thanks for the added info! o7

Heya! Thanks for this (I mean the screenie shows weirdness so I'll take it!).
Might not be extreme top of the priority list right now with so much going on but it's excellent to bag it up and keep!

Greetings Commanders.

Tomorrow (October 27th 2021) will see the deployment of the much anticipated Update 8 for Elite Dangerous (more on the expected deployment schedule in a later post today, so hang tight. On it o7)

With this update we will be rolling out a fix to address a known issue with capacity readings for Fleet Carriers. This fix is being applied to both Horizons and Odyssey across ALL PLATFORMS.

The Issue:
It's been noted that some Fleet Carriers have been returning negative capacity values for ship & module packs.
[LIST]
[*]The issue itself lies with the size of the packs being incorrectly initialised within the Carrier, so Commanders will have been able to to install ship/module packs that should have caused their Fleet Carrier to go over capacity, for example purchasing 1 ship or module could remove 1000’s of capacity usage from a pack that the "Carrier thought" used 10’s of capacity, or vice-ver...

Greetings Commanders o7

Hot of the "fix-press", we've got another response update on the way for Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Commanders shortly, to address a noticable issue with the game "stuttering" when you're out and about on foot.

Today at approximately 12:30 UTC we will be rolling out a fix for the "Settlement Stutter" in the form of a client update.
This means you will need to install an update to your game once deployment is complete.

Unfortunately it won't be a "stealth rollout" (where the servers don't need to come offline), so...

Elite Dangerous: Odyssey servers (only) will be offline for a brief duration (no more than 10 minutes).

The Issue:
[LIST]
[*]Commanders have been noticing progressively more, that during settlement and general on-foot interactions a sudden "stutter" in performance occurs.

Greetings Commanders!

It's that time of the week again! Before we head into the weekend, let's take a moment to appreciate some of the fine creations from our Elite Dangerous community this week. Remember you can always get involved using the #CommanderCreations hashtag on Twitter.

Now that Update 8 for Odyssey is live, we'd like to reignite the series of balancing changes that started before Odyssey's release. Now, it's time to turn our attention to ship Engineering. We recognise there has been significant feedback for on-foot Engineering too, but we'd like to approach these one at a time due to the number of aspects involved. Specifically, we'd like to look at the balancing of the Engineering grind, which largely relates to...

Material Gathering
[HEADING=2]Availability and Time Required[/HEADING]
To obtain them as fast as possible, materials within Grades 1 to 3 are typically traded down from Grade 4 and 5s. To make them worthwhile to gather by themselves, should their availability and the rate at which they are obtained be increased?

Similarly, Grade 5 materials can be traded down into 3 Grade 4 materials within the same category. However, Grade 4 an... Read more

[USER=188830]@sallymorganmoore[/USER] I think this is an issue of interrest for you to carry to the devs. We on console noticed through all devices (base ps4, ps4 peo and ps5) significant fps drops when in Open with randoms in the same instance. In Solo mode or in group mode with friends (from the same global region) everything runs smooth. So i think, the netcode makes troubles and causes stuttering.

Back in the day when we saw the beyond series updates this wasn't a thing. Things got worse. Can this issue please be targeted for us console players? Thanks in advance.

Happy to pass this on for sure. Thanks so much for sharing.

Good evening and Greetings Commanders.

We were made aware (thank you) that a previously known exploit for item duplication made possible via Fleet Carrier, had made its way into Elite Dangerous: Odyssey.
We've deployed a server side fix to address this, this evening.

The fix is rolling out right now and will take hold imminently (The Hamsters have had their bedtime snack).
You should not experience any server outage along with this fix.

See you tomorrow for the Horizons (Console) fixes update!

Hellooo...
Someone coughed...the team are taking a look now! Hopefully just a little jolt o7
