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 have had at least 6 crashes today while trying to mine tritrium, so i am getting maybe 20 or 30 units before I die and hve to skup back to my carrier to unload (either that or try to avoid the pirates).
I am curently in the Aries Dark Region IM-V c2-5 system - Planet 15 in the B Ring.

I don't know if anyone else is seeing those regular crashes to desktop.

I have submitted a crash report for each one under the commander name Flury - I am happy to provide any other debug information that might be usefull.

If I had an award for concise crash reporting, this would...be it!
Firstly, sorry it's happening this regularly. With all this juicy reporting though I'm sure we can get stuck in with figuring out what's going on. Thank you!!

Greetings Commanders!

This week is all about gathering your continued feedback from Update 8, and your thoughts on the latest Development Update, but that doesn't mean you hav... Read more

Fell asleep during stream (not an uncommon occurrence).

Did they ever respond to the many people in chat asking if the MLC's were coming to all versions or EDO only?

Glad to hear you find the shows so relaxing! We did confirm that MLCs will be coming to Horizons too.

The article is an obvious propaganda piece by an "independent journalist". There has been no statement by any actual lore figures so far... Its an attempt to further illustrate and display another knee-jerk reaction along the lines of GRR BUGS BAD.

People who know the history of the Thargoid war know we caused this conflict, politicians and the industrial military complex deepened it to profit from it - what about the trade money from repairs? The pilots federation bounties that are magicked up by the bank of Zaonce - where do they come from? The whole economic system in this game is fiction much like present day economics.

The astuteness of this post is not lost on me for one. It is a deliberate cultural comment by the narrative team on in game culture - that mirrors populist media we have come to know and love in present day. ...

Really interesting conversation, thanks for raising this one. I'll throw in my two cents.

I can't see a version of Open where PvP can be toggled off, even if there are many who would like to play that way. IMO, it would go against the spirit of Elite and certainly against the idea of "Dangerous". It's also not easily explained through in-game lore.

However, I do sympathise with those who would like to encounter and interact with other players during their sessions without getting killed. Obviously there are private groups for that, but it's understandably not quite same since you could only meet people you already know.

Overall, I think the solution to this would be better coming from adjustments to the crime and punishment system to make sure there are meaningful risks/deterrents in place for non-consensual PvP encounters rather than from a binary PvP on/off toggle.

Looking forward to this over the month! Great idea.

Security cameras have raised legitimacy concerns over this claim. Namely the back flip and triple spin into the hole.

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

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

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!

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.

Apologies to those who are already clued up on this information, either from our social post deployment yesterday or your own self discovery but just to keep the ball rolling with awareness:

For pilots who wish to ready up and support in defence efforts over in system 22460, the Musashi megaship in the nearby Pleiades Sector CW-U b3-2 is stocked with AX weapons and modules.

Take care out there, Commanders!
