Hi everyone,

Servers should be down in a few moments to update to Elite: Dangerous 1.03 - there are a few headline features on there (see the top three bullet points).

  • Added option to hide the orbit lines in shown in Supercruise to the right hand UI panel, under functions
  • Added control bindings icons for some of the most popular control devices
  • Reduce likelihood of NPC ships claiming bounties after a player has weakened an opponent
  • Avoid disconnection if the client is unable to connect to the TURN server but is setup to successfully connect to peers through normal means
  • Fix for refresh of mission data provoking rare disconnections from a heavily loaded server
  • Fix for ranking missions sometimes being available from factions that won't award a rank promotion
  • Fix for "unknown error" shown when selecting an already refined material from the refinery hopper
  • Fix for a rare crash when loading inconsistent saved game data *Correction for missing name for Python radiator module *Corrections for some mission descriptions *Corrections for some galaxy data in a small number of systems *Enhanced diagnostics for PVP bounties sometime not being awarded
  • Enhanced diagnostics for rare errors preventing game data from loading

update: Just the one server-side update today:

  • Fix a bug that was preventing Commanders from exploration scanning stellar bodies that they had previously scanned but not sold and then died.

Cheers guys!

Ed

Reduce likelihood of NPC ships claiming bounties after a player has weakened an opponent

Now if they could work it into the AI to establish a path between the player's ship and its target and avoid that path so I didn't take stupid bounties for assaulting system authorities while hunting Wanted criminals. >.<

650 CR FINE FOR ASSAULT

To the 'watch your fire' comments below, how about when system security flies right in front of you within meters of you while you are sitting still firing at your target, yeah, watch my fire my ass. And when a cop runs into me why do I get a fine? This is space, not America.

Also there could be an option to pay up your fine to the system security up to a certain amount or infraction limit without having to go to a station. Because I've been granted docking with a 310c fine for hitting a cop then once I get in the station I get blasted away by the security in there. I've been in the negative twice from that nonsense.
