I remember reading somewhere that they were planning on keeping one's monetary worth but not ships or something along those lines.
Landing there : Coming soon.
Beautiful detail on that planet. This game just keeps delivering:
Also had a fabulous dogfight with someone where I got him down to 10% before he frame shifted into the distance right in my face. I was too awestruck to feel much disappointment.

I do it with CMDRs sometimes, they must find me quite annoying.
Assuming they noticed you, they're probably asking themselves whether you're going to wake scan and then interdict them.
Sorry I misunderstood, yeah that's strange. You can't save screenshots to Upload/Onedrive but video works just fine.

No worries haha. I should have said "share" instead of "save".
It's a strange bug/lack of feature, but I'm sure it'll get ironed out eventually. I've got some lovely screenshots I want to use elsewhere, dangit!

I can't upload/save video OR screens. Video works for y'all? Care to link it? I thought the inability to share either was a known bug.
Screenshots not supported yet apparently.
Here's a brief clip I just uploaded though to demo video: http://1drv.ms/1HJOqyF

Thanks! Perfect landing, btw
I'll give video uploads a shot again.

Cheers for looking into it!
I had the most bizarre thing happen tonight. I interdicted a pirate wing, I think it had 6-7 people in it, some of them scrammed as soon as I got there, about 3 stayed around. Then I started taking them out one by one and then the most fucking bizarre thing happened, as you can see in this video, watch the Comms...

So I had 3 crashes last night. One that restarted the computer (no BSOD), one that brought up a Frontier apology screen, and another 'matchmaking server' error. Also, downsampling from 4k resulted in a perma-zoom effect when I Alt-tabbed back into the game, forcing another restart.
Anyone else had problems lately?

So guys, when do we find our home system and start our neogaf faction?

Alright, coming back to this, sorry--when I go to Upload, I find my recorded clip, press the Start button, and "Share" isn't an option. I can edit it in Upload Studio and then upload to OneDrive (I tried it, but it failed), but the standard "Share" option isn't there. It shows for you?

It went to his 1drv so I assume it was as you saw, it's how I got my videos off too, it's a known issue.

I would like this, I was actually surprised there wasn't already one in the OP that people play in.
New Dev update is below.

With Minor factions being a thing now and them taking names and locations it may be time to lay a gaf claim
We need a leader.

Do we know if OP is still playing? I think finding a viable planetary system would be the first step.
I'd be up for joining a Gaf faction once I figure out how to play the game properly. Still discovering so much.
In other exciting news, the closest relative to Earth yet appears to have been found:

That artist's impression pic may as well have been pulled from E!

!I've been having this a lot recently,too. It's definitely a wing-based bug as mine usually occur when I've destroyed someone who is wanted in a wing, but the other guy isn't. Today I also got spammed with "has deployed their hardpoints" in the top-right panel.
The first time I saw it happen I was just like "JESUS CHRIST HAVE I DISCOVERED THE MATRIX"

Played for a couple hours last night... The thrill of dogfights is just so damn good. And I finally escaped an interdiction! It was a good session. Made 90k in total before I logged off.

One thing I took away from that newsletter, they mention there will be a 'colossal' announcement at gamescom in 2 weeks.
Colossal as in planets sized, as in planetary landings ... but that's just speculation.
Just some interesting wording he used.

I don't know how I'll use it but I'll have one super tricked out. Make room, Courier.
Still think it's just Thargoids. Can't imagine the team was big enough or focused enough to make landings happen.
Anton Sugar

The dev update did say the team is bigger than it's ever been. You're probably right, but crossing my fingers...
Yeah but I think that was mostly the xbox guys and community team being added. I'm sure they've added people to the PC side but I don't think it was in time to work on something as massive as landings. Next year, calling it.
Edit: Ultimately I think Thargoids will be the next needed step to deepen Powerplay. We'll most likely be seeing some sort of struggle between which powers get involved with the war, maybe temporary alliances between the 3 governments, resource gathering for the war effort, shifting front lines that need resupply, scouting missions to measure enemy presence. Then the fringe elements of the pirate faction or powers that didn't get involved taking advantage of the focus moving to the war. Would be the time to introduce salvaging and derelict wrecks/distress calls of civilians under attack.

Are any other xboners getting an error when trying to load Elite, saying that you need to insert a disc?
Edit: figured it out. Hard reset the xbox and it didn't give me the error.

Awesome. Thanks!
About 3,000 LY from home right now. I know I've said this before but man...they really need to update exploration. Only thing keeping me going is the hope that I'll find an Earth-like someday. Once I do, I'm heading back. Foghorn -> get close enough to scan worlds just isn't enough to keep someone interested after hours/days.
Don't scan them all, it's not remotely worth it. Open the system map and look for anything interesting and potentially lucrative (water worlds or earth-likes). If there's nothing, move on to the next system. I usually spend less than sixty seconds in a system before moving on. It's a technique eloquently coined by another GAFer as "toot-n-scoot".
That's exactly what I'm doing. It's why I used the term "worlds" as I'm following this:
But even while doing the absolute minimum it feels like a chore. Or more accurately it's immensely boring.
Well, maybe it's not for you, then. I find exploration more enjoyable than trading, even though trading gives me more to keep me occupied (docking, running from pirates, etc). Even bounty hunting gets boring after a couple hours.
I think the current implementation isn't for me but I love the idea of exploring worlds. We're just so restricted at the moment it hardly feels like anything more than sightseeing. But yeah I can't do too much trading or bounty hunting either. Everything is pretty shallow and repetitive across the board. /rant

It's why I don't explore. Just doing an hour of it for a CG a couple of months ago bored me to tears.
When planetary landings come out, I'm sure it'll be more enjoyable for those of us who find the current feature set for exploration more worthwhile. They need to add some layers of complexity to Exploration in general. ATM it's just honking a system, then flying over close enough and waiting to scan a planet. Ocean wide and an inch deep.

Exploring in Elite is either something enjoy or something you don't. Personally it's my favorite thing to do in the game, I can waste dozens of hours just looking for scenic spots to take a good screenshot, or seeing a nebula up close for the first time.

Same here. I absolutely love exploring.
I feel like that's an unfair thing to say. You can say that when FD says "We're done with exploring. Our vision of it is now fully implemented." As it is now it's barely a rough sketch.
That's something I can't wait to come across. I'm also very interested in how Frontier have tackled black holes in this game, are they common?
So I'm winning more battles than I'm losing now, but still struggling to shake off anything agile that has the jump on me. Seems no matter how hard I turn my Eagle I can't get them in my sights without taking tons of damage first. Any tips?
I also got wasted by a 'mostly harmless' person crashing their ship into mine. Doesn't their ship also take a ton of damage? I was on 99% with half a shield so you'd think the odds were in my favour.
