    • All missions fail when Commanders die on a mission.
    • Quitting to the main menu just after recalling a ship causes a crash

    • Emissive Paint Jobs don't appear correctly under bright lights, so will not be in this phase.
    • A connection issue while auto-launching as a physical multicrew passenger may cause players to spawn in a glitched hangar.

     

    Known Workarounds

    • Steam: Alpha not showing as an option
    • Make credits quickly
    • Do courier missions to earn credits safely
    • Avoid long taxi-rides by selecting destinations: Adityan A, Adityan B, Adityan C
    • For substantial boosts in performance:
      • Set shadows to Low
      • Nvidia: Control Panel > Manage 3D Settings > Global Settings (or Program Settings "Elite Dangerous") > Threaded Optimisation On (instead of Auto)
      • Set supersampling to 0.85 or lower (Nvidia: and press ALT+F3 to apply a sharpening filter via GeForce Experience)

    I have so many system bookmarks in the galaxy map sometimes I forget why I have a place marked. I think it would be cool if we could have categories for our bookmarks. Like “Crash Sites > crash site systems list.

    Posted: 28 Apr 2021 07:14 AM PDT

    I hope that makes sense in the title. I think it would be cool if you could set tab categories for your bookmarks. Like opening up different files on a computer with a drop down menu. So say you wanted to have every bookmark that's got a guardian site on it, you make a bookmark tab called "Guardian Sites", and then you click on that bookmark tab, and all the systems you have bookmarked with guardian sites only show up in that tab folder. Let's say you got another set called "Opal Mining Hot Spots", and you click on it, and all the good systems you like to mine in are shown.

    I feel like that would be a really good way to filter your bookmarks. Idk about you guys, but, I have a lot of bookmarks. I've got the entire Colonia HWY key systems marked, the major guardian blueprint sites, some crash sites, places I like to mine at, etc. I just think it would be cool to filter them because sometimes I look at some and I'm like man, why did I make this place? So something I do is I'll edit my bookmark names to like "system name (Opals)"or "system name (Crash Site/mats)". I even have "Kwatis (Raxxla?). Like I've edited a lot of my bookmark names so I'll know what they're for, but it would be easier to have them filtered in categories.
