Feedback - new beginning 2.0

Really good patch, much improved, I have been playing a few days now and liking it a lot.

Only bug I have found (apart from well documented ones) is that when in combat I keep losing the ability to target anything. (no yellow circle, no command options , can not target anything) unless I go to crew (back of ship) and back to cockpit.

Anyone else noticed this, as I am playing with an old pre-2.0 save.

fresh start, original campaign from the begining...

at this point i've reached devries and had first contact.

no problems so far

it *is* more fun. the 100 EC mission took litteraly 5 minutes. the rahanas got to the zone 30 seconds after I did.

new highways are ok, not perfect, but much quicker and more interactive.

i'm at the same point as you are... the EC mission took me a little more time but everythings went well so far for me too...

I choose this new beginning to be in hard mode so even the entry in DeVries make a good challenge... I'm already afraid of the big fight comming on.... bit we'll see!!

@Nosscar
I didn't experience anything like this... did you try the keyboard shortcut "shift+E" i remember well to target closest enemy?

yes I tried that, I notice it sometimes after combat and trying to target a ship I am trying to board, could be because I am using a previous patch save game.

Started new plot for 2.0 and I'm really happy with things, I'd completed the plot before but looking back it was 50% struggle if not more, but this time round things have been very playable, I'm up to build URV bit, my journey has been. Be yishas dog, get to devries with no cash, become a trader, become a pirate . Nearly everything is working well plus I'm getting good FPS one thing that didn't work was trying to send engineer from skunk to taranis , map came up but there was no chooses to select. Anyway very happy with progress. Keep up the good work ES!!

i've been flying a bit around devries.

combat is much harder now.
game mechanics seems to work better now. Once i get my rahanas back (if?!) i'll do more trading in devries.

Problems:
AI fighters are intentionaly bashing into Skunk.
Mission payouts are not high enough.
Game got stuck in highway, had to kill it manually. Could be AMD drivers, will update today.
DeVries > Albion transition looks awkward, there should be a longer pause when traveling through gates. Now, you cross the gate and see in real time how objects are loaded. that's just silly.

p.s. "Show me your wares, please" is still there... awful...

Haa! I didn't understoo well the first time... I had the same issue in first release but after few patches, problem didn't shows up anymore... Thought it's been fixed...

I restarted several times so I can't tell you if this is due to still playing an old patched save... sorry

I just reached Devries since restarted 2.0 so I didn't board any ship for now

i've been playing around devries, and i found a damaged titurel... hired the crew and captured it. sold it...

and now i'm building a trade fleet. shipyard worked fine... this time

however... my gravidar screen is locked to gravidar mode. no ship info is shown when i select other ships or stations.
EDIT:fix ... unselect everythng, disable radar in graphics options, then reenable radar.

Combat is harder because the ships have more health or they lowered the damage of the players main weapons or possibly both. It still takes roughly the same missiles to kill the same ships give or take a missile on some of the beefier ones that I would rather fly.

Did you try both shortcut? Shift+R and Shift+, ?

Shift + R will enable disable information overlay, Shift + M will swap between combat/navigation mode. Just clarifying on what Miniding posted.

new guy here,

crashed once but nbd.

A request, make it possible to have NO active missions to better utilize the auto pilot please.... currently when you reach your desired destination. it reactivates storyline resetting your AP route,,,so this newb has to look at the map/mission after every jump to see if I'm going to the right spot.
The storyline gives you none of the skills/cash to actually run the story,
so most of my time is spent going places other than the next story waypoint

If you open the mission manager (enter-2-5) you can toggle the guidance for any mission. Hopefully that sorts out your issue with the autopilot

About combat, I miss the inertia effect when dogfighting ala X3, right now it feels too static, I think we need more speed feeling and the inertia effect its the way to go.

I've seen a mod that increase inertia on mods forum or workshop... didn't remember but it is recent.
There is inertia but it is lighter than in X3... if you flew with small fighters, the inertia was good but I spent most of time flying with my m7 split so I don't noticed a difference in Rebirth
