In fact, here you go, Moore's Charm is the one in a gas giant's ring, which confuses the poo poo out of a docking computer, and Tolagarf's Junkyard is a more conventional one in an asteroid belt.

I don't really understand the new pvp penalties, can someone explain them?

I think the way it works is that your rebuy cost after the next time you die will match the rebuy cost of the ship you were in when you committed the murder rather than the ship you're in when you die so suiciding in a sidewinder to get rid of the wanted status will cost more.

So the new story stuff is possibly near Colonia? Is it possible you would need everything you did for the thargoid bases, cause I never bothered with that.

I do wish Frontier did story poo poo more hand holdy.

Oh cool, thats a good change, not that it will really solve the problem but hopefully it helps?

If I wanted to reset my game prgoress, start back in a sidewinder, will that also reset my bindings?

Am I reading the Missions section of the patch notes correctly?

"We've removed almost every possible way of stacking missions in a way that could make mission rewards worthwhile. Also we fixed the bug that made some missions spawn with worthwhile rewards. Mission rewards have not been increased to match their new effort requirements."

Yeah that's right I will take your mission to go kill 8 ships 5 jumps away that only spawn one every 10 minutes for 30,000 credits.

I still don't get why they don't just limit the number of missions you can have active at a time to one, then ensure that that one mission is adequately compensated, and that something interesting will happen on it.

It feels like they've been playing whack-a-mole with the mission system for years now, and there's still going to be ways to play the game that make ten times the money of other seemingly-reasonable ways to play.

Well it seems like someone picked up a mission with a 213 trillion reward. True or not true maybe look around for busted missions giving gigantic rewards?

One of the new features is rewards scaled to in-system travel distance so clearly we all have to stack deliveries to Hutton now.

Hello Commandos
What they should do is make credit rewards scale by the amount of time you've owned the game, so maybe 10000 credits x how many months you have played per kill / quest. That way veterans can get the rewards they rightly deserve while newcomers can struggle like the bitches they are.

Edit: Also if you have played less than a month your ship self destructs on launching the game

New exploration routing stuff is nice. It even shows a line to indicate where you started from.

I love the new extended routing. It makes passanger missions soo much easier.

And I'm getting routed to a whole bunch of never seen before systems. I can finally start performing first claims on a massive load of stellar bodies.

Well as a gay man I'm intimately familiar with the act of dick sucking — you usually just do it to another person instead of a game developer who habitually overpromises and under-delivers by comparing people who are skeptical of patch content involving a years long underwhelming "mystery" to children peeking at Christmas presents.

Still can't play. Kind of salty I have to post on the official forums to submit a bug report, I really don't want to register.

Not sure there's a point, the brown sea says iuts a bug from beta 2.4 that affected some people.

Lol I tried to join up a multi crew session thinking perhaps there would be people hunting aliens and I'm too far to take part myself.

Either it's a bug or there are literally 0 ships available for any possible "join a crew."

Can't wait in six months when thargoid content is as dead as:

-multi crew

Because you can't damage them yet, the CG for materials has to wrap up first. Maybe by Thursday?
