As far as I am aware the cutty red, 890j and when it gets in game the Carrot will have a "medical bay" too which one assumes will have a bed or two. Happy to be corrected if there are more ships.

Important to know spawn point is going to be the top tier of medbed which the cutlass may not be equipped with in the end as it is supposed to be low-spec...

So this means we can basically go fly an 890 somewhere then run CQB practice inside it with live rounds for as long as we please? Oh man, sign me up.
Was thinking the sam thing, CFT will became more interesting now that the defender team can respawn on site.
Also open up other game scenario...

Yes. Which have med beds? Is there one in the 600i or Caterpillar for instance? Could the Cat carry a med module with several beds?
Actually the only ship claimed ot have a medbay/medbed are:
- Cutty red
- Apollo (cencept)
- Carrack (soon(tm))
- 890j
- Endevour hospital module (concept)

I don't remember any other ship mention to have it, may be the Orion and the Kraken (both in cooncept state)??

Oh yes, and I forgot the military capital ships, like the Polaris, Idris and Javelin... all in "concept" (aka not in game) state ATM

I'm not sure whether it is official, but I have seen posts that indicated the BMM might get a medbay too.

Could be, I remember somothing like that too....
It make sense: all big ship mean for long travel and deep space exploration should have one.
Now that I'm thinking about it, Also the Hull D and E should have one..

The bad news is the oral and rectal thermometers fell on the floor and have been mixed up.
930 years in the future and we are still making the same mistake of not putting the word "ARSE" on the rectal thermometers. Will humanity never learn?

Potty mouthed thermometers aside, some actually good news, the "climb into ship with box in hand" mechanic works again! This means you can actually do box runs in ships without ramps, like the Auroras and 300 series!

I still got my "we're sowwy it's soo bwoken" edition Freelancer, is this normal? I'm happy I got it, it's the best damn ship I got lol, just asking, as I seem to have started with the AUEC I had before the patch, which is weird as I thought (cos boredgamer explicitly said) they will do a wipe for this patch! I lost all my stuff except for my money it seems? Anyways, I woN't complain, already spent it on black and yellow armor.

Some bad news is that bounty missions seem to be really broken in a bad way. I had tried two different missions, and both times the AI ships I was chasing and slowly destroying, suddenly "blinked", appeared at a random location a few meters away from where they were, with full health and zero scratches. I got blown to tiny chunks because of this on both occasions. So, bring some med beds close when accepting bounty missions, but use a different ship to attack! Also, I still think that an entry level bounty mission (hurston type) that spawns a fully decked out sabre that spews missiles out of every hole against my stock 300i, is a bit of an arse move. Wouldn't be impossible, but a bit steep of a learning curve for only 4K auec.

Some more kinda bad news is that cops seem to be showing up in the middle of going into QT, so I ended up with a crime stat at Arccorp which is a pain to get rid of. I went to a comm array in Arccorp jurisdiction to get myself killed by the turrets. It cleared my initial orange crime stat it seems, but now I have a global red crime stat. Gonna have to suicide run twice, even though I didn't intentionally commit any crimes. Or do the hacking mission, but that's such a pain in the ass I can't be bothered right now.

Good news is that framerates are better once again compared to 3.8.0, and there is less hitching in general, but crowded places are still annoying to be near. Also the servers seem pretty stable played for 3 hours without a single disconnect or crash.

Box vending machines work, but sometimes they remain closed when requesting the box, even though the box is already inside after the first button push. You have to push twice to get them to open.
Delivering to vending machines is working fine, but it takes long to realize that you placed the box inside. Just had to wait a couple of uneasy seconds, and it registered as delivered.

Next things I'll wanna test are shelf deliveries, although those worked okay in 3.8.0. Also wanna do some cave diving for bodies, maybe this time they will spawn, cos last time I played 4 out of 4 attempts were wasted...

Saw a Mole at PO. Wow, really good looking ship! I'll want one later for in-game cash.
Set my goal in this wipe cycle to amass roughly 2.7 mil AUEC to buy a Terrapin (if it's still buyable in game?). My plan was to do bounties until I get enough to start trading with a rented ship (or the free freelancer in this case) and make my money that way. But with the bounty targets acting up, I'm kinda out of options at the moment.
