Same here. Haven't played for a while. Started playing again last night. Thought I'd go on the forums first to check if there was anything new going on and, Viola! Down time. Oh well, maybe I'll see you out there in the inky black in an hour os so

Hope the Newsletter #68 will be out today or this week. We don't know anything about patch 1.3 a.k.a. Powerplay, which is supposed to enter closed beta in April then released!

It's nice to see more fixes coming but I've got to admit, it would be nice to see some comms on when they are planning to include some of the meatier stuff. They've said before that some fixes need a major release due to the complexity, so it would be nice to see a list of what is expected to come later.

The main bug that I see still missing a fix is the borked forking of missions. I don't bother taking assassination or 'go-kill x pirates' type missions anymore because of this. I guess everyone has their fix-wish list.

Nice, upgrading now.

Curious what this means:

Put in a clamp to eccentricity in the constructors of orbits

Dear Guys and Girls!

Having experienced the upgrading/updating process of the EvE Online (where updating to a new "expansion" might have taken several hours, after which might have come a few downgrading updates to correct the flaws inflicted by the major upgrade), I feel that, for now at least, the updating process of the FD and for the Elite Dangerous appears to be a very smooth one.
For example this latest update today, the servers were off line for about 20 minutes and the updating process of my client didn't take more than max a minute. The latter is depending on the load on the server side and the speed of ones connection to them.

Now,
I will get back into trading.

Well, Ev Tankero, this is good to know. Sometimes I got annoyed with the ED updates. I'm new to PC gaming so had nothing to compare ED with. Knowing this will make me less inclined to throw my teddies out of the push chair next time there's a glitch.Cheers!

Oh!
By no means did I want to surpress Your, Avago-Earo, original post about the upcoming update, down! I hope You didn't read my reply in Your thread as that?
Thank You for the heads up!

Btw, Your phrase (being a non-natively-english-speaking person myself) ... " throw my teddies out of the push chair", now that is a new way of expressing my emotions in my future posting anywhere, if need be. Thank you very many for that, Avago-Earo!

Friday's are Newsletter days, but I agree would be good to get some 1.3 news.
