Noticed it start to update right after quitting just now and uploading my save.

That shielded jumpdrive looks like a cool future purchase. Hope it’s not too difficult to find once I have the scratch.

OK, back up as v 1.16 - sincere apologies to anyone who lost keybinds in a 1.15 update! You should be OK now.
(Note that if you never ran 1.15, nothing happened to your binds)

You guys are doing amazing work. Thanks!

At the rate the patches come out, v 2.0 this year! :D

You mean free ships?

The game is getting free ships?

Has Travis not learned from the spaceship jpeg money train that is Star Citizen?

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say, he has. :)

After having spend a bunch of time upgrading my base and Dingo. I am now all kittet out and have nothing to spend money on. So that new jump drive sounds great.

I am only playing buddy and main missions now. The jumping gets a bit tedious if you need to do 6 jumps to get to the mission, play the mission for a few minutes and then jump all 6 back. I would love a future base mission that would allow us to build like a super jumpgate or drive that lets us skip systems and just go to the final destination. Especially near the end I feel it would really make the play smoother and stop “wasting time”. I am skipping all random encounters now anyway as I don’t need the loot anymore.

And a second wish would be to have a way to switch buddies easier then going to their system. That’d be great.

Loving this game and the speed of Travis patching for the community, it’s grand to see.

So, wait - the shielded jump drive allows you to go through unstable jumps w/o damage and gives you more jump fuel?

Just take my money.

I didn’t see anywhere that it gives you more fuel.

It does. Sez it in the description but not in the display - which I should probably add. Didn’t matter before because you had nothing to compare to!

You get 8 jumps before needing to refuel instead of 6. Minor thing, but nice for the later missions.

Was there another patch after the quick fix of 1.15? Because I just fired up the EGS and it started patching the game again.

Yes, it’s up to 1.16.

Grrr, I was playing a story mission (Marla’s) and came to a cutscene and OF COURSE my mother has to call PRECISELY THEN* to ask me for the thousandth time how to see her Windows update status in Win10. By the time the call was over so was the freakin’ unpausable cutscene. Is there any place to access those? I looked in the game’s folders and while I found video files, I didn’t find the long-form cutscenes anywhere. Looked on YouTube as well.

*It’s like that stupid commercial where some action hero type is fighting off 4 henchmen and his cell phone rings and his mom is bitching about squirrels in the attic or something. Fuuuuuu…

I swear to God, sometimes I think the phone has eyes to signal people when the least convenient times to call are.

I turned off landing animations. Now I miss it. ::sigh::

I wish you could turn off all cinematics, not just the landing ones.

The shielded jump drive is the best.

I finally got a Beluga but I’m not sure how much that turret on the back has helped since I can’t see back there and if there are stats on how many turret kills a ship has I haven’t found them.

Kotaku has their (positive) review up:

Hey @tbaldree sorry to bother you, but just got into a Durston. All I can see is the left part of the cockpit. I tried using various modes such as windowed and full screen window. No good, What am I doing wrong?
