I want to leave Port Olisar and never return. Can we please get ship bed logouts working correctly?
TL;DRPlayers can already avoid respawning at Port Olisar by landing correctly at other areas with respawn rooms, and bed logout bugs are being looked at for 3.1 and possibly improved further in 3.2, with no final state promised.
Well, my answer to that would be, you can potentially leave Port Olisar and not respawn there, firstly even without using the ship bed logout, because as we've got it set at the moment, you should be able to fly your ships to other landing areas which have respawn rooms for players, such as Grim Hex for example. If you request a landing through the air traffic control, if you land correctly at those areas, then you should respawn at them. Potentially then, if you don't like Olisar, you don't have to travel back there and respawn there. So firstly, you've got that mechanic to do that. Secondly, the bed logouts. Yeah, I do tend to get the bugs myself for that feature. We've been looking at a couple of bugs for 3.1, so hopefully it's a little bit better than it was when it first came in in 3.0. We also put in the crash recovery system in 3.1, which, although not directly related to beds, hopefully improves the respawn experience and persistent spawning as a feature as a whole. So for 3.2, we will be looking at improving the feature further. I think we're actually meeting today to discuss a little bit what we may or may not look at doing for that patch. Spawning as a whole is just something that's evolved over several other patches. I can remember back to when you were a criminal, you ultimately got put in Grim Hex. So as to when the feature is final, it'll probably to some extent always evolve over time, because we're looking to give you guys the best experience possible when it comes to spawning. So I guess watch this space for further improvements. It is on the radar amongst many, many other things. But yeah, it's certainly something that we're looking to improve on.
That's a good reminder, Rob. Every Star Citizen environment is a test environment. Whether it's the Evocati, or it's the PTU, or even the live alpha environment, which is a testing environment, you're going to see these features continue to iterate, continue to improve each and every patch, and you can do your part on the Issue Council. If you're having a particular issue with logging out through the beds and you can reproduce it, use the Issue Council to let us know. Find other people's Issue Council issues and vote them up, confirm them up. Help us identify these things and work on these things and make this better for everybody.
