Good news for the Mole in 3.8.1

[Black Sunder]

Wave 1 PTU is up for 3.8.1: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/spectrum/community/SC/forum/4/thread/star-citizen-alpha-3-8-1-ptu-4089962-patch-notes

To summarize though for the Mole bug fixes:

• Added an entrance light ring to indicate where a player should stand to get the entrance interaction on the Mole.
• Added a new door on the side of the mole to fix problem with sideways opening clipping in to the visible exterior of the ship.
• Players should no longer be able to fall out of the Argo Mole during quantum travel.
• The mining storage containers beneath the Argo Mole should now have collision.
• Fixed missing rain canopy effects on the Mole.
• Fixed the Argo Mole's incorrect ore cargo capacity.
• Fixed overlapping rock scan data on the Mole's turrets.

So the big ones are that the Mole now has its 96 SCU cargo and the overlapping scanning is gone.

"Players should no longer be able to fall out of the Argo Mole during quantum travel. "

I thought that was a feature, not a bug.

Just did a buyback for Prospector. Trying real hard to resist upgrading to Mole.

It's for the planned astro-skiing game play loop they're introducing. You tie a line to the back of a fast ship and get dragged across the system

Another good two
Cargo holds when mining should no longer randomly fluctuate to full or empty their contents occasionally
It should no longer be possible for extraction/fracture UI to be switched when mining

Also very good news!

Guess they got tired of me pushing people out.

There a way to scan the contents of a mining node without getting out of the Mole's seat and into the mining lasers?

Yes, your mining display has two types of scans. A Ping and a scan. I think your RMB is a ping, but when you get close, you can actively scan using your LMB in scanning mode, for areas with lots of rocks, you need to point at the rock you want to scan.

I never fell out of my Mole, guess that's a good thing. Did CIG say why 3.8.1 / PTU was taken down. I expected a PTU patch last night not for the PTU just to go down. We were dealing with 30k errors approximately every 10 minutes.

They'll put it back up when they have a more stable build they said.
