Official Elite Dangerous Thread

Well... some interesting findings and information. It seems the game is becoming deeper than what we initially thought.


 
Copied from FD forums:

Morning Commanders,
We have an update incoming today. The galactic servers will go offline at 11AM GMT and will return within the hour. Below are the patch notes to quench your changelog fever.

General Changes
Fix for crash when approaching some settlements (AZRAEL - SEARLE PORT)
Fixed a crash in drone component
Fix for crash during outfitting
Added guards for a door manager related crash
Fixed Mine/Missile malfunction causing the client to crash
Added guards to help prevent a Capital Ship related crash
Ensure cargo is transferred when re-buying a ship from an orphaned SRV
Limit Galnet to only displaying recent articles in the game
Fix Darnielle's Progress in the Maia system
Fix some names in local trading report news articles.
Stop requiring the Phekda permit to travel to that starsystem
Rank missions should no longer instantly fail for no apparent reason
Ammo store shouldn't show drones as purchasable if there is no stock
Galaxy map now remembers the previous Cargo Mass slider setting, unless enough real cargo is added to the ship to exceed the slider setting
Don't replot the current route just because the Galaxy Map is opened. Fixes the route being forgotten sometimes if viewing the galaxy map during FSD charge, and helps to avoid forgetting the in-system target at the end of the route
The SRV is now refuelled when it docks at a port
Fixed an issue when deploying the buggy to a garage in a port, the buggy started slightly below the ground.
Fix Imperial Cutter schematic

Client: Text Display
Translations updated.
Various text fixes.

Networking
Fix bug when determining network connection MTU causing assorted player-to-player connection problems.
Fix for network object ID exhaustion.
Fixed some missing Powerplay translations.

Server Side Fixes
Fixed some metadata mismatches causing server errors.
Fixed a server crash if a star system is being accessed while being deleted.
Various server performance and reliability improvements.

This one:

"Rank missions should no longer instantly fail for no apparent reason"

That's what happened to me last night... TWICE. Hope it's fixed for real.

I have to find that other pack I know about again. It's quite amazing and one singular person creates it. It's a version of TrackIR using an opensource driver and software kit. And it uses Playstation3 camera with some LEDs you connect to your head set. It's amazing, and super cheap.

I'll search for it and put in on here.
 
Most kits work with the PS3 cam and FacetrackNoIR/Freetrack/opentrack. I'm using the Delanclip just because i was too lazy to try and build one myself.

My problem is, I don't play with a headset, and I don't particularly want to play whilst wearing a cap. So this seems perfect.

You are full of crap man. :P I shat my pants the other night when your dog started barking, I swear it sounded like a banshee screeching. And with my vivid imagination things were going haywire.

Please get a headset and save your fellow gamers' from potential heart attacks.

Not to mention [MENTION=5134]MalicE[/MENTION]'s background noise...

I think that's something you need to test drive first. I can't imagine trying to look at something to the side or back with just my eyes. It has the potential to make people feel sick, kinda like the VR headsets.

Lies! I could have had a conversation with your wife if I wanted. I also knew exactly what was going on in the movie she was watching. But it's okay, I accept you are you are. With all your faults as well. I'm living with it.

Well there's a reason I don't play with one. 1) I am a single parent, I need to hear my child! 2) I am very conscious about my ears, they're like my insecurity. Also a reason I don't go to hairdressers as I don't like people touching my ears.
 
I still think head tracking gimmicks are dumb...

I totally understand. Jeez guys, I was joking! Don't get all intimate here about ears and stuff, this is a gaming thread, not a kink thread.
