Halp Halp! It's Happening! Beta 2.2 Inbound

[*Al*]

So I was wondering if 'Attack Target' only attacks wanted targets or any target, ah! any target I though to myself as I ran away in my Beluga like a little girl.

Jumped into the next system and saw a navigation point that said Military Installation - oow I wonder what that is, well I wasn't expecting

oh, and it seems that they don't like you getting too close - hello Mr Rebuy screen

Oh wow! Very cool!

That is sexy!

(saw a 30M to go too Jaques as well).

Anybody who takes this job in beta needs to have their head examined.

I flew out to Jaques in beta with the TaxiAss to do a long run test of the new route plotter. Love it, only scoopable stars over the whole 22 kly trip, no plotting issues at all. Will do a quick trip to Sag A* next weekend for the ultimate plotting test.

Although as painfully as it is to admit, 2.2 and the fighters in vr with my HOTAS has been honestly THE gaming experience of my gaming life.

Wow.....

I tinkered with the beta for 30-40 minutes and got frustrated with the bugs so I haven't been back in since. Based on your statement I think I'll give it another go today.

Oh, yes, there are definitely bugs in it, but here it is how I see it.
I am flying around in my corvette\anaconda.
And if I feel like it, I can launch into what is basically a vulture on crack-cocaine.

Also, I somewhat regret starting that second bottle last night :S
fortunately I had the foresight not to kill it.

I jumped back into the beta this morning and learned that if I deploy the SLF with me in it, I don't get the weapons bug. If it launches with my NPC pilot and we swap, I can't fire the weapons on the SLF.

I did a few passenger missions. Pretty much the same as hauling missions, IMO. It's cool to see the variety of station interiors though.

There were two passenger missions in Exioce for the same destination about 8k ly away. Together they paid just over $40m. The passenger missions may be good for those looking for a fairly short exploration trip with a specific goal, and want to make some cash along the way.

I'm quite enjoying the passenger missions, yes the bulk ones are basically just cargo (but if you ever been on a train in the UK that's all you are anyway), but the VIP ones can be quite interesting. I had one to take some bint to the next system, but when we got there she wanted to visit a tourist spot about 100lys away.
On the way we were interdicted by a Cobra, so I leapt into the SLF and dealt with that. The tourist spot was about some celeb who set up a huge holographic show that so freaked out the local tribes that they ended up going to war.

I had one to take some bint to the next system...

LOL. Yeah, I got her too. Take me to the next system, she says. So as I'm about to make the hyperjump she changes her mind and now wants to be taken to...the station we just left. Typical.

I thought 2.2 was supposed to have the option to collect remote bounties/pay remote fines? I don't see it.

[Cmdr Kharma]

Nope.... Not seen that yet either.......

Seen a load of buggy weird shit.......

But not that......

Low security systems do it.

BTW, there is a new control key for SRV people like me, Dismiss/Recall the ship.

Also, if you notice, the details on the system map for services available at a base include Tuning? And another that says Auto-Dock. I guess there are some places that Kharma will not be able to land at if they don't have Auto-Dock
