    Stumbled across this and thought to share:

    Hi guys!

    I've been working on AI docking/launching/DC and here's what I'm hoping to get into version 1.2 (I say hoping 'cos it needs a lot of testing!) :

    1) Added a brand new docking obstacle avoidance system to stop AI ships from crashing into each other or players.
    2) Increased docking/launch speeds.
    3) DC puts full pips to SYS.
    4) Descending to pad is now much, much gentler. (hopefully no more hull damage)
    5) Launch from pad is now smoother.
    6) AI ships will dock/launch on the side of the slot marked by the green light (as much as they can; type-9 is a wide ship!).
    7) AI ships shouldn't get stuck in the cage covering the entrance slot when docking.
    8) AI ships like the Anaconda will no longer scrape their top while docking.
    9) When docking, AI ship wait to orientate themselves fully before approaching the entrance slot.

    There's probably more, but I can't think of it right now.

    Sarah.

    Ok, so I know you guys don't really play any more, but has anyone by any chance noticed that there is no more Top 5 Bounty Board for their respective regions?

    Dev Update - 26.02.2015

    The beta release for update 1.2 is rapidly approaching and I have some more details to share in this week’s update.

    First let’s look at some more details on the Wings functionality – Wing Beacons. Player wings exist to enable cooperative game play. One of the neat features wings use to support this notion is the wing beacon. This nifty little device allows you to send a signal from normal space into the system’s super cruise environment.
    Your wing will be able to see the signal - regardless of distance - as long as they are in super cruise in the system; they can use it just like a wake and drop down to your location.

    The wing beacon also leaves the door open for future updates to trigger game events from it, such as distress calls to nearby Commanders and AI ships for example. But right now it makes all the difference when you drop into your wing’s system; with a simple flick of a switch, your team members will be able to instantly lead you to their position.

    Wings also brings an overhaul for comms. The most obvious change is the ability to transmit open broadcasts. Such text messages will now be received by all ships nearby. Of course, you can toggle your ship’s ability to receive such broadcasts at will.

    We’ve also popped in some text line syntax, allowing you to /T talk directly to the ship you’ve targeted, /R respond to the ship that last talked directly to you, as a well as /W talk to your wing. When you join a wing, you will by default send communications to them, but you can quickly toggle this option when you type your message.

    Another change related to comms is that commanders docked in starports will now remain on your contact list so you can chat with them while docked.

    Another aspect we’ve looked into is the operating costs on ships, so in 1.2 we’ve performed a balance pass on repair costs. This change should really help Commanders make profit from combat roles: as long as they don’t die, their repair costs should not eat away all of the profit they might be making from bounties and the like.

    Balancing the various economies and risks in the game is an ongoing affair, so this probably won’t be the last change we make, but we believe lowering repair costs is on the safer side, so it’s a good candidate to test out and bed in first.

    We’ve also added a cool new feature for people with damaged modules. We’re activating diagnostics repair-reboot functionality on all ships. Whilst still not a match for an automatic field-maintenance module, this function allows a ship to reboot and jury-rig completely broken modules, getting them back up and running at a couple of percent health. Of course, there’s a cost: for every percent of health repaired, another, healthier module will be stripped of double this amount as components are cannibalised.

    For people wanting to take screenshots or look at their own ships we’re also unlocking a debug camera. This allows you take limited control of the camera outside of your ship. This isn’t a gameplay camera and is purely a debug function to allow players to see their ship.

    Looking beyond the 1.2 release we have the Mac beta, still scheduled for the end of March. Beyond that we have the 1.3 update and we’ll share more information on that update ‘soon’.

    Thanks

    Michael

    Nice, will probably start playing it again once that is.

    Heaven knows how they can release an MMO without basic features like these
    We’ve also popped in some text line syntax, allowing you to /T talk directly to the ship you’ve targeted, /R respond to the ship that last talked directly to you, as a well as /W talk to your wing. When you join a wing, you will by default send communications to them, but you can quickly toggle this option when you type your message.
    When an anti-piracy method is affecting the game for people who legitimately bought it and causing other people not to buy the game, there is obviously something wrong with it!

    My only concern with this game is it seems to be heavily leveraged for exploring and combat, but not a whole lot else. Event though this game has been released it just seems to need a whole lot more, or is that just me?
