TL;DW:
- New SCL with Benoit about long term persistence coming in the near future.
- Work on fixing freight elevators started months ago, still in progress.
- So far they found root causes of 44 individual issues with FEs, 20 of them being of blocker or critical priority.
- Resource Drive event was not intended as a “clever way to stress test the elevators to reveal the bugs”, they simply underestimated the amount of issues that will crop up with increased use.
- Content for Onyx Facilities will be spread over multiple patches (they’re not finished).
- Resource Drive will be extended for another month.
- There will be no official videos on Onyx Facilities to “let you investigate and discover things by yourself”.
- New thing coming with patch 4.3:
- Dynamic snow.
- Multiple variants of light stealth armour.
- Zenith sniper rifle.
- Hangar spawning.
- New ships added to in-game stores. Also a promise they’ll be added quicker in the future.
- Tuning adjustments for light fighters (speeds, accelerations, HP, components etc).
- New ship: L-21 Wolf.
- Onyx Facilities (partial release, multiple locations).
So no one at CIG has been playing as a space trucker since cargo elevators were released.
