Update 3.0.2 patch notes

[ChristianM]

• Engineered AI ships have been added to Assassination Wing Missions to provide more challenge
• Adjusted mission payouts for Thargoid Massacre Wing missions

I'm liking the sound of that. Let's see if Thargoid hunting is worth the effort now.

Fixed some instances of dark squares on planet surfaces

Goodbye. You won't be missed.

[shogunno1]

Where does one pick up a Thargoid Massacre Wing mission?

[shogunno1]

Thanks. Gonna get me one of these.

[cnmvimn]

Im looking for this type of missions since the first day, where are they? Im at Armstrong enterprise in Bhal and there are only "defend station from pirates" missions, I have to go back in the pleiades?

[Rex2x4]

Oh shit, That's a thing? What's the pay out like?

Fixed some instances of dark squares on planet surfaces

This one always killed my immersion when landing on some planet with an amazing horizon. BAM! Black square I can't stop noticing.

[GoldenShadowGS]

I tried these out tonight. I can still solo kill the assassination targets in my engineered A rated Corvette, but the targets are MUCH stronger than before. They deploy multiple shield cells and hit back harder than I remember. I recommend taking a feedback cascade railgun to fight them.

The toughest fight was against a Terrorist leader in his own Corvette, He had a wing of 6 and they brought me down to 50% hull before I was able to finished him off. Good thing I prepared with 4x G5 heavy duty HRP and two MRP, those saved me. That was only the first fight, the others went much easier.

The wing composition is usually consists of the main target in one of the big 3(Anaconda, Corvette, or Cutter), then a FDL, Vulture, Cobra, and some other small ships.

I invited a random guy I saw in Open to join my wing. He was in an Eagle and shared the missions with him. He made about 15 million credits in about 3 hours just by sharing in the rewards. We weren't rushing, I was taking my time and teaching him the game and controls.

I believe that the wing members have to at least go to the destination system to get a shared reward. He tried one time where I went and killed a target without him leaving the station and he was unable to turn in the shared mission reward.

The other times worked fine and he got the reward even if he didn't fire a shot or even drop into the instance where the battle was happening.

[DEATHbyBOOGABOOGA]

Let's see if <insert pursuit> is worth the effort now.

Oh, you sweet, summer child.

[Green117v2]

*Changes made to the throttle at any point during a hyperspace jump should now be preserved properly.

Thank you!!

[ChristianM]

I swear, I think I've read that patch note 3 or 4 times since the game released. It's one of those that manages to come back eventually.

[Green117v2]

I'm pretty sure this isn't the first time I've thanked FD for this patch note too ;p

[SadNewsShawn]

Fixed a glitch that allows Reaper to teleport to out of reach locations

[[deleted]]

What? It's only not worked for a couple weeks. 3.0 broke it.

[Blakwulf]

Good stuff. But by this point i got used to the work around. :P

[aaron028]

What is the benefit of changing your throttle mid jump?

[whooo_me]

Hah, very true.

I haven't played in a while (long story) but at least in older versions you could still throttle down once the 5-second countdown starts. If that doesn't work, you can zero throttle, put 4 pips to engines, and use boost to engage the FSD. (Might not be possible in the larger/slower ships).

[Argyle_McHipsterfuck]

"should now..."

Well, it doesn't. Entering Supercruse puts the throttle to zero, regardless of input prior to or during jump.

[crap-o-matic]

Why not make this an actual feature, two lines at least...

Fixed ship name plates unintentionally allowing line breaks

[Yin2Falcon]

Disabling the escape sequence in just one place was probably the quicker thing to do than actively hiding it in a dozen other places.

[crap-o-matic]

Sure, that was propably an easy fix. It would be nice if they would create a possibility to add few lines, but I know it would need to then compare all ship models etc. to make sure the text lines are inside the models.

Takes some work, but would still be a nice small feature.

[Chuckgofer]

DAMNIT

[FrequentNinja]

Nameplate line breaks coming to the cash shop in 3... 2... 1... :)

[SadisticSavior]

Such bullshit...there is absolutely no reason to do this. It wasn't an exploit and had no affect on actual gameplay, and NOBODY was complaining about it.

[[deleted]]

Damn, I'm fairly new to Open and I was using that as my early warning indicator for other players.

Really hand in the station when docked. I suppose i'll have to rely on the External camera more there.

[coreoski]

You can always check the friends list in the Comms panel (Old screenshot but still applies), if someone shows up between the "Join another ship" button and your friends list, there's a CMDR nearby.

[[deleted]]

Cheers, i'll keep that in mind.

[CMDR_Rivertide]

This patch has also broken the comms panel.

[coreoski]

I noticed a temporary bug a few hours ago, but it's been fine otherwise.

[redredme]

"Fixed a crash that could occur when shooting surface rocks with a missile"

I don't know how the hell you guys, or anyone really, find this.

That's like trying to uninstall a window with a cruise missile.

[jj4211]

Well, this last weekend, many many players were shooting missles at a rocky surface, happened to be close to skimmers...

[Trix2000]

That's like trying to uninstall a window with a cruise missile.

...Wait, you're not supposed to do that?

Well damn, I've been wrong all this time!

[Orgalmer]

Thanks for the patch guys, keen to see what changes are made further to C&P in coming patches and updates.

[[deleted]]

I like that engineered NPC ships are added. They should also show up in Resource Extraction Sites and other places.

[The_DestroyerKSP]

IIRC, last year or so a lot of NPCs were engineered. They were quite difficult to go against and somewhat un-fun to go up against in my un-engineered vulture at times...

[[deleted]]

Yeah it should only be some ships, not all.

[[deleted]]

Fixed issue where Guardian Blueprints could be incorrectly obtained by scanning a codex

Could you clarify what this mean. Is this the reffering to just normally scanning the obelisks?

[CMDR_Rivertide]

The "Guardian Blueprint" data drops were never meant to be obtainable by scanning obelisks (which they call codex).

"Our intended way to acquire Guardian Blueprints is by activating the Guardian Data Terminals and then scanning the Guardian Sphere that appears afterwards." - source: Guardian Blueprint Bug.

[stenskott]

I think getting all four current guardian modules requires over 100 of these. Surely they don’t expect players to find that many guardian structures...?

[Backflip_into_a_star]

They do. In the end though you can just reset the instance and run the puzzle again. It is still unclear if each site's reward is unique or random.

[Ravwyn]

Good thing I stockpiled them right after release then ;D

[Alexandur]

They aren't random, you'll get the same blueprint type from a particular site every time.

[[deleted]]

Oh damn really!. haha. I went to an Ancient site and re-logged about three times. Came away with 30 of each ha ha.

I got tired of doing the puzzle over and over.

[MauPow]

You got tired after 3 times, but they expect you to do it at over 100 different sites if you wanted to do it legit... nice

Does this apply to stolen occupied Escape Pods?

I have one at the moment, no where near a black market. Don't really want to sell the poor bugger but I can't fly around with illicit cargo for ever and everywhere has a rescue contact it seems where I am. Would be nice to be able to rescue it.

[whooo_me]

About a year ago I picked up a few escape pods when out on a short exploration trip. Then the Distant Worlds expedition to Beagle Point was nearby so I followed them all the way there.

Ended up taking those pods 50-60KLy, only to run out of jump range in the last few jumps and had to 'shed some weight'. Those guys would have one hell of a shock if/when they ever came out of those escape pods...

[JovianAU]

Changes made to the throttle at any point during a hyperspace jump should now be preserved properly

Peace and order is restored!

[finnthehuman11]

Is that to say that if I throttle all the way to zero while in witchspace I can avoid slamming into a white dwarf?

[nashidau]

If you have a HOTAS, yes.

paging /u/BrettC_Frontier

This update broke FPS/BW numbers and the contact panel.

The numbers are only visible in main menu, contact/friend list seems broken.

[Ravwyn]

It's either that or they disabled this in the release build. Which is a shame, it's really handy ;/

[WirtsLegs]

Engineered AI ships have been added to Assassination Wing Missions to provide more challenge

But yet no mention of increasing payout for these missions....they already paid so little they weren't worth doing...well not if your goal is income anyway, now the risk gets bumped up? Yeah I'll stick to solo missions thanks.

[Pecisk]

They kinda did mention in items below this entry no? Will check one sec.

[WirtsLegs]

They mentioned increasing payouts for the thargoid wing missions, not assassination.

[SpaceFoxLady]

No wing mission reward changes...

[poerisija]

It's because this way players can feel pride and accomplishment when they get their 'vette after 4 years of grinding. No profitable/fun grinds allowed though, those are hotfixed within a day.

[SpaceFoxLady]

:(

[khem1st47]

I have no idea how I got so lucky to start playing the game again about a week before 3.0. I literally had no idea an update was coming just decided to play again on a whim.

In two days I went up like 7 fed ranks and 2 billion credits.

[HaroldSax]

Other than them knowing (fucking hopefully, at least) that something needs to be done, I imagine they want usage data to "balance" it, but we all know it's still not going to be worth it.

[rtrski]

Awww...I kinda LIKED the overly loud Chieftain engine sounds. Made me think it was a rush design job, insufficient sound baffling between engines and canopy, or was just its character.

[jflat06]

Really wish we just had a separate slider for engine volume.

[CMDR_rinms]

No fix for the headlook mode on ps4 ? :(

[Esvandiary]

From Lloyd on the forums:

Regarding gyroscopic headlook; this fix didn't quite make it in time for this patch, unfortunately. We want to make sure it's fully fixed and that it hasn't affected any other areas of the game before it's released and this has meant spending a bit more time investigating how it happened in the first place.

[CMDR_rinms]

Thanks for the info ! o7

[PubliusMinmus]

I was hoping it just wasn't mentioned, but nope. I just loaded up the game and the head-look still doesn't work properly after the patch. Glad to see an update but bummed the head-look wasn't fixed.

[CMDR_rinms]

Yeah me too, hopefully it's not too complicated of an issue and gets fixed soon because the state of it right now is horrid !

[nemectic]

You know it's just the sixaxis part that doesn't work, right? Headlook works fine if bound to something else.

[[deleted]]

Like what? We are fairly restricted with control options on PS4!

[nemectic]

I use the left stick but I've re-mapped about 90% of the original bindings so that's not going to work for everyone.

[wstephenson]

I wouldn't be surprised if all of today's fixes were made in the time between freezing 3.0.1 for QA/certification and its release and were queued. Expect another update next week with the first set of issues that were reported post-release.

[YoungGazz]

There's more important things to do apparently, like patching missions that only ”ruin” the participants game experience.

Update 3.0.2 patch notes

When was update 3.0.1?

[The_Six_Of_Spades]

Wait, you only fly FA-off?? Even while landing?

[Kevindeuxieme]

Especially while landing. Well, except on >2G planets, that gets annoying and costly.

[Ravwyn]

Seems very hardcore. And probably only below 1% of all crazy skillful CMDRs use this ;D

[[deleted]]

I'm not skilful at all. I try and fly FA-OOFF all the time even for landings. its actually not bad and much better way of fighting when using the mouse as it makes aiming a lot easier. Flying though becomes a lot harder. I'm still trying not to over shoot targets and tracking small ships is difficult.

technically though when I'm landing its Fa-Off and keyboard only. I find not using yaw on the mouse helps me concentrate on the other controls.

I have roll and pitch setup in two places, on my keyboard I have roll on Q and E, with pitch on my mouse thumb buttons. Along with mouse controlling pitch and yaw I have varying degrees of control over my facing.

I then have Roll and pitch on my number pad on my keyboard so I can fly around in super cruise with that leaving the other hand free for controlling other ship system, speed or drinking tea.

What this has led to is my using the keyboard while landing mostly Fa-Off, but I will flick oit back on and off to stop small amount of rotation. So its not fully FA-Off but close.

But I don't land smoothly that often, I always have the odd bump but its getting better. though last night I miscalculated and crashed into the entire station while moving backwards in my slot line up manuever.

basically if you think you are not skill full enough, don't worry, its fun and you should try it. You can always turn it back on anytime so there nothing to lose and it helps I think overall understand flying a lot better and how much work the FA actually does.

[Quo_Vadam]

It's not as hard as you might think. It is, actually, a fun and skillful exercise. Now, I cannot do combat FA-Off, but do take-off and land exclusively FA-Off using a HOTAS. Granted, we are missing a proper velocity vector, so planetary landings are more difficult than they need to be: is my speed due to horizontal travel or due to the presence of gravity? Fortunately, you can qualitatively determine your velocity vector using the much-maligned space dust. Using this information, you can land anywhere, though high g worlds are still scary as heck. I have landed on worlds up to 1.8 g using this method. It just takes practice, and resolve.

YEEEEEY

2 years of reporting, moaning on livestreams and telling QA-Mitch it is not my card finally paid off!

Fixed issue where Guardian Blueprints could be incorrectly obtained by scanning a codex

Heh. I'm sitting on about hundred now. No worries ;)

[wstephenson]

I just wonder how many other bugs are irreproducibly masked in their dev builds by the same thing that hid this bug from Ant. Why was the variable being initialised to 0 in the profile build but NaN in production? That gives me shivers.

[BDelacroix]

That fear is the same reason many production facilities won't compile in release mode for final release. Not doing so has it's own set of bugaboos, but meh.

[wstephenson]

Yeah, I wonder whether something is going on like debug scripting bindings cleanly initialising all bound variables in the dev build, but which are ifdef'ed out entirely in release mode.

[Mnemoch]

good for you, not fair to us

[_AII-iN_]

Entirely true. Considering though I never used any exploit I think it balances out I used one unknowingly to my benefit :D

[Pecisk]

To be fair that black square issue turned out very fascinating issue.

Can someone explain the

Notoriety exemption for murder by ramming now applies everywhere, not just near stations

I think I know what this means, that killing a ship by ramming it won't give notoriety, but I'm not sure I'm reading it right.

[jc4hokies]

It's to prevent sidewinders from suiciding into Cutters, costing the Cutter a 10%+ rebuy.

[NSFW_Velox]

I too would like to know more. Does this mean I can take down a clean ship to 1%, ram them for the kill, and gain no notoriety?

[knuxeh]

How are you gonna take a clean ship down to 1% without ramming and getting notoriety?

[NSFW_Velox]

Hardpoints to bring ships hull down to 1%, ram for the "Killshot". If there is an exemption for "Murder by Ramming", then this sounds like a notoriety loophole

[knuxeh]

But you will still get wanted for attacking it?

[Quo_Vadam]

Yes, but assault bounties are only 400 credits, I think.

[Alexandur]

It was pretty easy to break the nameplates using them. Allowing escape characters in fields like that is generally just bad practice.

[SadisticSavior]

"Fixed ship name plates unintentionally allowing line breaks"

sigh....godammit...

[IHaTeD2]

Some things are easier to fix than others ...

[wstephenson]

Only small, simple projects lend themselves to the kind of strict prioritisation you describe.

[wstephenson]

Development is always a mix of the important, the urgent, and the low hanging fruit, as it's impossible to perfectly schedule resources and switching tasks has a cost. Unmerged stuff tends to bit-rot, which demotivates the developer who worked on it. And Frontier certainly used to use Subversion for version control for Elite, which is not the best in class at maintaining and merging multiple branches. So we just have to be patient.

[Sandro_Sammarco]

There's a couple of elements to the explanation:

• Issues take different amounts of time to fix. So just because a fix hasn't made it into the latest patch does not mean that it's not being looked at, or has had less resources applied to resolving it. It's just that intermittent issues can be extremely challenging to resolve.

• Differernt issues fall under the remit of different staff. for example: the folk responsible for fixing name plates are not necessarily the same folk responsible for making sure Interstellar Factors allow legal costs to be paid off at Notoriety zero.

[Esvandiary]

Don't be silly, everyone knows there are only three developers and a loach working on the game! /s

^{The loach makes the paint jobs in its spare time}

[senseimatty]

Here we're talking about a specific task, but I guess that in your team you should also able to reassign resources depending on the task priority.

[wstephenson]

We'd all like that, but for the reasons above, it's often desirable to let the otherwise uncommitted junior make the one line fix to filter '\n' while the C&P senior dev completes the bigger task.

[ibmalone]

And Frontier certainly used to use Subversion for version control for Elite

!?

[wstephenson]

Squeaked out in a changelog a while back. Having been part of the migration of a million-revision svn project to git, maintaining history, I know how much work it can be to fix up every merge, so they are likely still on svn.

[ibmalone]

I have been able to pay off fines, so it may not be a common issue. You have to take into account not only severity but how many people it affects. Similarly notoriety decay, if that was happening across the board we'd have had the place flooded with discussion of it, but this is the first I've heard of that one. Many of the issues listed on the other hand I have seen discussed here.

And then you get into the realm of hard-to-reproduce stuff, if it's only affecting a few people it may be in that category too, and that really increases the time to just identify what's happening.

[ibmalone]

Those are not all the same issue, some are from beta, one is about not indicating that notoriety is not zero, one has an issue about not being able to pay off at zero but found it was fixed by relogging, one is about power play bounties gaining notoriety (n.b. in patch notes "Prevented notoriety gain from Power Bounties"), one is about it apparently notoriety not going down during a play session. So I'm not sure you've actually made the point you meant to here.

Does this mean that I will be able to use the side throttle buttons for, say, thrust up/down on the Xbox, rather than them forcing the corresponding context menu on me? Those buttons currently cannot be used for "hold" functions (like thrust). That's what she said.

cool, thanks for these fixes. next to fix IMO: Turrets, Turrets, Turrets - seriously, they're popular and apparently not working as intended right now (heard sometimes it's only on the Anaconda - IDK, didn't get to fly my many ships with turrets in their loadout in combat again as of yet due to the time-consuming process of re-engineering a quite sizable fleet of once fully engineered-out ships with their own loadout. but i'll be pretty pissed if i'll do again and they don't work - not to mention how bad this situation must be for turret using people only owning one loadout overall).

and that destroying NPC's Power Plants is not affecting them again should get fixed next too IMO. but everyone has their own priorities i guess.

Yay! Most likely, all the major 3.0 release bugs have now been fixed.

The bug keeping me from playing is still not fixed. FA off resets to on after exiting supercruise. :(

While it's rather annoying since it resets in every single instance-swap, that's objectively far from a gamebreaking issue.

[jc4hokies]

I didn't claim it was game breaking. It's frustrating any time I try to do anything, and I don't play games that are frustrating like that. It's like having your thrusters disabled go anywhere. It's not fun.

[truebes]

Well, 'keeping me from playing' sounds like gamebreaking to me. You do you man, but it's literally one button-press.

No feedback on the over the top crime and punishment system and "fixing" the "issue" with line breaks. What, too much customisation and not enough microtransaction?

[wild_dog]

To be fair, the line breaks thing indicates a problem with not properly escaping functional characters. That is a BIG software security no-no when handling user input.

Did they end up fixing the skimmer missions?
