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).

    We’re also going to go ahead and extend the Race for Stanton Missions while we continue to work on freight elevators throughout alpha 4.3.

    Well, it sounds like the freight elevators are a lot more reliable in 4.3 and at least they’re extending the event because of the issues.
