Nice word. What does it mean?

Yeah, I thought the W. administration was over and gone now.

BTW, ouch! ... (So much for all those "free" minor faction alliances!)

"Unlinked minor faction reputation from their parent major faction reputation, now you will be neutral with an Empire minor faction even if you are allied with the Empire major faction"

And beware ... (no more docking at factions that don't like you ... does that mean big fines too?)

"Stations will no longer let you dock if the controlling faction dislikes you"

At least it looks like my prior bug has been addressed ... (I still ran into it a few times, but far more rarely the last day or two)

"Issue was that pirate hunter hostile could spawn in a polity different from where the player drops out; if that polity is lawless no bounty would be given to the pirate - now fixed"

And this is very nice to see ... (no more accidentally ejecting painite)

"Fixed refinery bin list jumping up and down when collecting fragments that are automatically removed from the hopper"

BTW, just got the notice on my phone that ObsidianAnt has a new video on the patch (haven't viewed it yet).

Took a while to find, but apparently its a shimmering flicker effect I think.

Flimmering is the uncomfortable, jaw-clenching sensation that occurs when your eyes flicker uncontrollably and your head begins to spin as your vision tries to bleeds into itself, attaining an unhealthy glimmering vibration.

After numerous tries and reboots, the beta finally and it is downloading on the laptop while I am playing on the desktop...

Starting download.
Now I'll mow the lawn while waiting.

It seems that you can still repair your buggy by docking with the ship, unless I missed it. It seems like an easy bug to fix.

I downloaded the beta last night - played it for a while. Now I start the launcher and my beta button says "UPGRADE" (again) but I can't press it or do anything.

If I start the launcher on its own (not through steam) the whole thing starts the download all over again and says it needs 2-3h to finish the update?! Any ideas?!

Sounds like something Rambling Syd Rumpo would sing about.
