Discovery Scanner - 10.10.2022

Greetings Commanders.

A very in theme post for you today for your installment of Discovery Scanner this week.

Big shout out to Commander Eagle131 over on Twitter, for the much loved title image as part of the post today, with a big, extended o7 to all involved in this Pumpkin pile in as part of The Buur Pit's #PitTrip3.

One of the main talking points would be a little announcement on a special, social event for your diaries coming next week.

Post link is here for that and more : https://www.elitedangerous.com/news/discovery-scanner-10102022

Here's hoping you have an eventful week ahead.

Discovery Scanner - 03.10.2022

Greetings Commanders.

We all hope you've had a good weekend and are ready to set course for another week of discovery in the Galaxy.

This week's Discovery Scanner is now live for your attention.


Another primarily Community focused one for you today, with possibly the most poignant information being a change to our livestream schedule this week.

Hope you all have a great day!

See you in the black o7

Discovery Scanner - 20/09/2022

Greetings Commanders.

Thank you for joining us for a Tuesday edition of Discovery Scanner, following a public Bank Holiday yesterday. Here’s hoping your week has started as well as possible so far.

It was an exceptionally busy week in the Galaxy last week, with events such as:

  • The Console Copy Portal opened up for Console Commanders to at last join their PC Comrades within the Galaxy.

We’ve seen such an incredible response since the portal opened, as Commanders continue to fly on through and join us on their new platform.

  • 4.0 Is Now Live.

In line with the launch of the Console Copy Process, the 4.0 update for Horizons released swiftly after.

Again, we thank all Commanders for their patience on the day with the extended downtime as this deployment took place and some stability issues were addressed.

If any issues currently still persist in regards to the console transfer for new PC Commanders, then please do raise a direct Customer Service ticket here.

For more news from the Galaxy, read the full post here which includes news on this week's livestream, events and more!

UPDATE 13, NARRATIVE AND ACCESS TO 4.0 : www.elitedangerous.com/news/update-13-narrative-and-access-40

Known Issues:
Whilst a number of these known issues are naturally cause for concern among players at present, the team are viewing them with high priority of address and we'll of course inform you of progress on resolution of them in due course.

Store.
We are experiencing some degree of turbulence around the in game store at present.
  • A number of Odyssey suits that should be available for Commanders to purchase are currently greyed out and unobtainable in game.
  • All Suit decals in Livery display with a red "Odyssey-only content" icon, no matter if they are Odyssey or Horizons decals.
Game:
  • Codex entry for optional exploration equipment lists Advanced Planetary Vehicle Hangar rather than Advanced Docking Computer.
  • [Horizons 4.0] The glass for the Social Space on Fleet Carriers has an incorrect texture.
  • When viewing ringed planetary bodies, the planetary rings do not currently appear to render correctly. It is possible to drop into the ring and asteroids will be present.
  • [Horizons 4.0] Some Power Regulators, when visible on the SRV Radar appear targetable on approach, but cannot be acquired, as they are inside the local Power Building.
  • [Horizons 4.0] Suit decals currently equip as expected in Livery, but do show in-game when using the Camera Suite, nor to other players in the same instance.
  • Ship decals can be seen by other Commanders in Horizons 4.0, however the Odyssey rank decals ( Mercenary & Exobiologist) can not be seen by other players currently.

As I say, please do accept our apologies on these issues being present currently. We're working hard on our forward moving plan to address these and you'll be kept informed.

Once again, Commanders, thank you as always for being on this journey.

We have nothing further to say regarding instancing between versions at this time.

Focus from here will be to of *course* appreciate your feedback on the situation and hold tightly to it, however there will not be anything further to add on this topic for you at this time.
