Cheers for the heads up.

"Galaxy map now remembers the previous Cargo Mass slider setting, unless enough real cargo is added to the ship to exceed the slider setting"

"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"

Pleased about that.

We can but hope......

We can but hope......

Well, my hope lies in copious amounts of stimulants that dull me to the pain of the problems when playing with friends. My preference is for Liquid stimulants. My biggest fear is they get it right and then I am just a drunk and not medicating myself.

Nothing wrong with Drunk..

If the crashes are fixed...I will post a .jpeg of my cats left front paw..!!

If you know my cat.. this will result in much scratching and biting and hissing..and that's just me..

Lori - we won't mention the Cat/Vet incident you spoke of earlier..

Kharma, is Ozzy still traumatised..?

[Black Rose]

I hope they fix the inter-connection issues when winged up. I have died way too many times on missions that I needed my wing mate and the damn servers wouldn't link us up. We'd be in a wing then I'd drop after I interdicted a target and my partner can't find me. We are not in the same instance.

Also the weird issues "disconneted because the match server cant find our team"

And the latest crashed at Rez spots crashing every time we fight an Anaconda.

Oh believe me that is going to be written up and posted in Off Topic For Sure!
