What are you doing (ingame) now?

A couple first impressions after an hour:
Shield cell bank overheats the ship like crazy, intended or not, no idea.
Plotting a course from galaxy map does whatever, there may be no plotted route after one jump. Also after a jump your next destination can be wrong. Had to plot a course multiple times for a 6 jump trip.
Sounds have changed a bit, to better and worse
And yes, I know i'm playing Elite:Dangerous 2.0, no need to remind it for me on the screen all the time. This small "bug" was in the original release too.
Have not tried landing yet, probably a powerpoint slideshow with my gtx 660.

So, some small rough edges here and there, I'm sure it will smooth out with time.

Now trying to do a "the prisoner" mission where I need to rescue a hostage, been flying around unindentified sites and spent some time in nav point, no sign of the ship carrying the hostage.

Did your wave scanner work alright ???

I'm having a real prob with mine and signals disappearing....

More so than in beta....

Mine was acting like it had a loose wire or something in beta 6, so you weren't alone.
I won't be able to check again until tomorrow.

Well I reported a bug in Beta with Vid to show that I was at a 5 degree heading and had a signal to my left......

When I turned and drove towards it after I went through 0 degrees to 360 it disappeared.......Turning back to 1 degree it came back....

The sound was still there......Just no trace on the scanner.....

I was finding it worse tonight......Strong signals were just disappearing.....Even a targeted rock was not showing on the scanner....

But then after a while it seemed OK.......

As you say...Prob a loose wire somewhere.....

Fecking maintenance.....

Had the fastest download ever for this game. Started the "install 1.5 64 bit" option while preparing to go to work. Took quick shower, came back, done. Decided to do the "upgrade to 1.5 32 bit" option. Changed for work, done.
Now at work, writing on forums cause I can't play.

Have fun, fly safe.

Apparently the only thing you're missing is your ship blowing up for no reason. Relax and have a good shift at work lol.

I would really hate to get Lady Jayne blown up for no reason. Is this a 1.5 thing or a horizons thing? I tried checking the support forum but can't seem to find the thread.

Have fun, fly safe.

Bought a vehicle hangar, landed on Azrael, saw i forgot to buy an SRV, went back to Raff's, bought said SRV, went back and landed again. Drove about until the terrain texture vanished. also never saw anything come up on the scanner. Not sure if Azrael just doesnt have anything or if the scanner is busted.

Yes this is to stop SCB spamming, the effect lasts twice as long but does increase heat generation hugely. One way is to fit heat sink launchers to counteract the overheat.

I too am trying to suss these out. I have found the target numerous times flying around in the system and also in a USS, it has been both wanted and unwanted on different occasions , I have destroyed it and it the ship has not dropped any life pods, I have left it alone and followed it about and still nothing. Not sure what else to do to. I need 2 rescued hostages to complete the mission.

You know you got spoiled in an asp when you take a Sidy and can't believe the # of jumps it takes you to get anywhere :p

I found the guy too, interdicted him and started shooting. He started dropping cans and I assumed that one is a pod and continued to make ventilation holes to his ship until he was done. But no pod.. And the mission just disappeared from the list when he died. No warnings or explanations, it was just gone.
