The September update landed this week bringing with it the new starter experience and pilot training grounds, a new livery system, the arcs virtual currency and a not insignificant bucket of bugs. The feedback on the frankly much needed new starter experience has been largely positive so far we'll be trying that for ourselves over the coming weekend do watch out for that. The current plan is for a twitch livestream of reany flies featuring the new starter experience. If you want to try the new starter experience for yourself you absolutely can just look at the right hand menu in your ship under the training section. The introduction of the arcs virtual currency has been unsurprisingly and understandably controversial and the bugs were again understandably disappointing and not entirely unexpected. Frontier however have been very quick to react to the bugs and the community team made significant effort to keep in touch with the community ensuring that the player base has been kept up to date on the list of known bugs and importantly the fixes which was really good to see. There's a couple of foreign threads linked below that detail what is currently known about bug wise and what has been fixed. On the livery system front it's hard to make a terribly informed commentary on what is currently there as of my recording this as it's still quite buggy however there is an interesting post on reddit by commander 100 rub of the AXI talking about the sudden appearance of the big blue store button in the predominantly orange station services screen and how the sudden appearance of something essentially from outside of the game in a previously totally inside the game environment could be considered somewhat immersion breaking. I understand that change in a video game can often be jarring and take some time to get used to but is there really a need for the out of game store to be pushed quite so aggressively when you're not even in the livery system. I'm not personally convinced that this is the right direction and is in danger of perhaps alienating some players. I hope frontier consider the feedback on this and monitor its effect going forward. On the subject of bugs in the patch as I mentioned previously this wasn't entirely unexpected in years gone by frontier used to beta test upcoming patches in the community before launch and whilst it didn't catch every single bug it certainly did catch some of them and people were happy and frankly excited to be part of it. I'm sure frontier have their reasons but I'm struggling to understand at the moment why they stepped away from that process again I hope they look at the feedback and are able to give that particular policy decision another look. We've got some significant community dates for your ED diary coming up firstly next weekend we'll see Commander Plater's 24 hour charity livestream in aid of the British Thyroid Foundation. Starting at midday on the 28th of September Plater will be joined by a series of content creator guests who will all set him challenges throughout the marathon event do not miss this joining the fun and also help support a very worthwhile charity we'll also be there.
