The good news - I was WRONG about settlements not respawning, for some reason the first 9 didn't but now they are working again (no clue why) - hopefully they fix the bartender bug (you crash to desktop when selling). @CaptnBeard

So it seems in "rebalancing" Smear Campaigns they meant "make ALL data VERY tedious to gather" as now when you jump to SC data/materials do NOT reset any longer so you can only collect from a site ONCE. I've asked @CaptnBeard to clarify but don't expect I'll get a reply.

And to think, all Frontier had to do was prove this last week and I would have donated $100 to the charity of their choice - as yes, Smear Campaigns are FINALLY in the game. Wonder why they didn't want me to donate $100... Rousseau Drilling Complex, Orrere - in the HAB

A friend just shared an updated version of the Odyssey trailer that is much more accurate to the release, at least it seems to be, do you agree?? youtube.com/watch?v=FuSjJ4V-…

Come play along FOR FREE as I look at a very early pre-alpha build of @cpudreams Hunternet Starfighter! youtube.com/watch?v=Cpatqg8p…

I hope you'll join me in an hour as I take a VERY early look at Hunternet Starfighter from @cpudreams - a pre-early access space flight simulator. In fact I WANT YOU TO COME JOIN US TO PLAY FOR FREE!! Just register at cpudreams.com to get the small 500MB download!

Looking forward to it, see everyone soon!

Should have included this with my previous - a poll on your thoughts around the knowledge that we almost certainly will never see ship interior in Odyssey. I'm in the don't care camp as it's not additive for me, but know many of you do care very much. tinyurl.com/rt27mrnr

Playing #odyssey with a good friend, he's on a planet waiting for me to pick him up. Just DM'ed me this, awesome.

I hope you'll join me Friday as I welcome the sole developer of Hunternet Starfighter - a pre-early access 6DOF space sim, plans to match Elite's features in many ways. Oh, and YOU CAN JOIN US AND PLAY FOR FREE!! Details in description: youtube.com/watch?v=Cpatqg8p…

For those waiting for ship interiors in Odyssey it seems that will be a wait in vein, while things can change @CaptnBeard was very clear about, when asked about them on stream: "There are no plans for ship interiors" Personally I'm fine with this, you? youtu.be/MnSvQUzsX3s?t=1319

First time I've seen noticeable "copy and paste" on a planetary surface, as @T1Jafo said they look like "Asian dragons" --once you see them you can't unsee - can you see them??

Oh, so you think you have a widescreen setup? Really? To quote Mr. Dundee "that's not widescreen, now THAT'S widescreen!" If you'd like a quickie tutorial let me know, details in the video description youtu.be/oNeBbB1fWuI

Watch FULLSCREEN from the beginning - and prepare to be AMAZED!!! youtube.com/watch?v=phfupCA9…

We now know the size of the Cutter - unfuckingbelivablyincrediblyamazinglyfucking huge. So huge it gives TWO fucks!

As always @ObsidianAnt uses his voice of reason to share his frustration with the "roadmap" we got today. I agree we're looking at 4-6 *months* until this is truly sorted and console released youtube.com/watch?v=54hm767p…

Share your thoughts on the Roadmap here - oh, and remember that fixing performance is NOT in the "Roadmap" at all youtube.com/post/Ugz-WJitZxk…

The "Roadmap" is now out - performance issues will NOT be resolved until...... console launch in the FALL. Hope you're happy with the performance you have now as it'll be here for a while. I find this a HUGE mistake, do you agree? forums.frontier.co.uk/thread…

I don't think we need to hurry....

This hurts me to my soul in a way only a long term Elite player can understand. They did at least "fix" the bug (this has been in game for over 6 years)
