What's wrong with the E: D forum? There's the odd idiot, but that's true in any large online group. I've been very surprised by how stable and sensible the majority of the community on there seems to be. Not saying there aren't issues with it, I just might have been lucky and not seen them.
It's not the people, it's a pain to use. Searching I find very low hit rate and even lower relevance. Google search is better to find topics in the forum.

This ^^
That's fair enough. I mostly follow links from elsewhere so I don't tend to notice that.

Same here. Only a few seconds worth of updates though.
Time to get VoiceAttack working me thinks!

Lots of people saying that their issues were not fixed by 2.01 :sad:

Well, 2.0 worked great for me, 2.01 is buggy as hell, i can feel a 2.02 incoming ;-)
I was having a quick test yesterday while setting up my controls, (Solo, not on TS) when I was asked for voice comms by Galatoni.
How do you set it up? I can't remember assigning PTT keys and such.
I know it was a CB radios low quality sound for the sake of realism and when OB and I tried it on Beta 1.6 it opened the mics automatically no key press required.

Making this the second impressions thread (post black screen and spinny ship loading issues)!
Albert say Yes! Love it, like the look makeover and all the new instrument panels are an improvement.
Biggest joy are the missions. I've hardly traded and have a Hauler and 30k to my name. Probably a total of 1.5 hours played excluding bugginess.
I recommend selling both guns on your Sidey and that means a jump to Borg from Aulin is possible and it opens up lots more mission possibilities with only 1 or 2 hops. Over 8LY.
Do the 10kcr haulage missions where they give you the cargo to transport.
When you get a Hauler sell the gun and do not increase the cargo capacity to 16 (optional mod). Use that extra jump range of over 10 to get even more Haulage missions.
Then at 120k get a Viper and sell its guns for over 12LY jumps.
Rinse and repeat to Cobra. Than at Lakon type 6 start trading.
Good thing is this method takes you all around the Galaxy. Cheers, Bert

Fantastic advice! I know what i'll be doing later.
Really love the new graphics/sound changes. The game feels more immersive now (and it wasn't exactly 'clinical' before!). The new musical score is a welcome change. With the change in mass affecting jump range, it means the missions are are more viable. I did a 1t cargo run to Freeport which was one jump, got 13k! Makes it much more viable as a way to make money!
Hopefully the next patch will clear up the bugginess. Shame really, but while the majority is serverside, there isn't a lot we can do from userland.
Beta 2.0 was OK for me as was 2.01 but 2.02= yuk what happened? Cant join 'Albert' at all, the only thing I can do at the moment is try the tutorials.
I haven't managed to get any of them working nicely yet. 2.00 loaded and froze on the spinning ship, then let me in but crashed as I tried to enter supercruise. 2.01 came out while I was at work/gym and by the time I was home 2.02 was out. I get the freeze on the main menu screen with that one. 2.03 is due out later this evening. I'm hoping that fixes my issues. I can't try the 1500 MTU fix as i'm on VDSL with a FreeBSd server terminating my PPPoE session, and FreeBSD doesn't do baby jumboframes (RFC4638), so the highest I can get it 1492 including the IP header, 1464 if you're talking pure data size.
I seem to be ok now on 2.02 except the occasional connection drop & then the weirdest one of it lets me quit to main menu when i'm leaving, then instead of going to desktop just hangs on a black screen....
Well, 2.03 has fixed my remaining issues.............. tomorrow i shall explore :D
The spinning ship problem is resolved by deleting the 'Save' (option in menu)
Aaawww yeaaaah. 2.03 let me into the game and I got some brief missions done before the missus got back from 3 days away. 5 bug reports submitted to Frontier, so I consider that a good evening's work :D
2.04 about to be released in the next few minutes
2.04 now out.
2.04 version comimg Now, Just been told to save and quit as servers are going down :D
Beaten by Quick on the draw TL
And it's taking forever to download the update (but I'm coming from beta1!)
I'm finding kitting up the Cobra awesome fun now I know how to work around a few bugs. Arithon also know as Marco Polo is at the furthest part of the known Galaxy due to getting an upgraded Frame Shift Drive of 20 LY onto his Hauler. If you buy one, launch immediately, it may not go into jump when you try to, redock, exit and restart and voila.
I have a larger Frame Shift Drive, Power Plant, Power Distribution and Sensor array. Cobra is great!

Yea. Cobra will end up as my bag as well I think. I'm goibg to hit up a guide on making money via exploration I think.
