anonymous access
Every station I land at now I get the message -anonymous access - I am not wanted or anything like that . This has just started after latest patch is this intended or a bug .

No, you get the message 'Unavailable-anonymous access'because you are NOT a lawbreaker.
Which as far as I can tell is just another one of Fdevs completely pointless menu cue cards, like the 'route cancelled' or 'enter concourse' Braben seems to be obsessed with menus and sub-menus that are shoved right in your face for absolutely everything, its almost like they hired a UI tech from Eve online, with the mind-set that the game IS the menus and all the other stuff like planets; ships, well the whole galaxy is just filler to support the opening of the next menu and/or cue card because we are all too stupid to work out what is happening and we obviously need to be told.
Otherwise how else would we know that we have just docked and the station has logged what ship we fly, without that, I and everyone else would be so confused we would rage quit then demand a refund because we didn't know that we did not dock anonymously and in fact that service is unavailable.............. smh.....

Bug. Just started happening in Update 4. If you down-arrow to the launch menu the message disappears.

OK thanks guys. Cheers

Yeah whats the deal with the 'route cancelled' popping up? The route was completed and not cancelled and why is it even stated at all?

Change it to "Route Completed", problem solved. :D

Or you know, just go back to the music that plays when you complete a route instead of having an ugly popup.

Yea that too obviously, i just assumed there's a reason they put it there. XD

People who are deaf or hard of hearing won't/may not hear the music. (also people who just have the sound off because they don't wanna wake up their GF or something)

I have 70% hearing loss but I don't need a pop up to tell me I have reached my destination or that route has been completed ,I chose the destination so I know when i reach it. Sound off or on is personal choice . The pop up for elevators is a pain also , why not have elevators open when approached and go up or down ,which ever is required, taking into consideration that you can only go up from hangar and down from concourse , why pop up that says press E for concourse or press E for hangar.That's my gripe for today

As far as I'm concerned most systems might as well be named "a;;ghauhfLI7E383957;ADFJHGBHAL;U" so it helps me and I have fine hearing.
(also, 'personal choice.' it hurts nobody to have the route popup, it should just say 'completed' instead of 'cancelled.' It is only positive.)
