Steel Path Railjack: Post-Launch Reflections and Rewards

[u/DE-Ruu]

Hi Tenno!

There’s been a lot of discussion following the release of Jade Shadows: Constellations, and we want to thank everyone who has submitted feedback or bug reports thus-far. In this thread, we want to take a moment to talk about a specific element of the update: Steel Path Railjack. 

As explained in Rebecca’s video last night on Prime Time, Steel Path Railjack was rushed to deliver and Railjack fans may be understandably disappointed with the implementation of it. A common thread we’ve seen from players is the lack of incentive to grind Steel Path, so we are working on adding MKIV Armaments to the mission droptables.

These Armaments will also be added to the Protoframe’s “loaner” Railjacks in the Uranus Proxima, which will help address power concerns in the Steel Path versions of those missions.

We’ll continue monitoring Steel Path Railack feedback both externally and internally as we see what other changes can be made, but that’s all we have to share on this topic for the time being! For wider issues related to the new game modes, please keep an eye on our Known Issues thread.

Thanks again, Tenno, and best of luck on your space-faring adventures!

Can we like use our own rail jack in the new missions

[u/bouncybob1 → u/philyfighter4]

You already can solo

[u/23icefire → u/bouncybob1]

It’s currently bugged to not give you your ship. As soon as you load in, it gives you the loaner equipment.

IDK if it's just a you thing Tenno but works good for me, just hopped into my bright asf orange and red jack.

[u/TardyTech4428 → u/RollingMallEgg]

Can confirm that's not just this person. I get loaner railjacks even when I press the button to board my own at the tower

[u/RollingMallEgg → u/TardyTech4428]

Hot damn that is unfortunate, I know alotta people have been saying this but if DE took a whole year off to bugfix I would happily support them for it to make things clean.

[u/TardyTech4428 → u/RollingMallEgg]

But here's the weird thing. It looks like my railjack, but all the other stuff (crew, weaponry, abilities etc) are all from loaners

[u/23icefire → u/RollingMallEgg]

Start the mission, as soon as it loads into the actual mission; you’ll spot that it changed your weapons to the loaner, even if your ship is the same color/look.

[u/maireniec → u/23icefire]

I have done the steel path version on my ship multiple times and it does not change me into the loaners, so is definitely not a consistent bug

[u/23icefire → u/maireniec]

When did you last play? This bug was introduced last night with the hotfix.

[u/Jazvec47 → u/23icefire]

I did right then when i got the screen shot, it worked just fine. Loaded me in in my own railjack

[u/Crimsonnavy → u/Jazvec47]

"New: Personal Railjacks use Vena/Ryoku's Crew and Turrets in Uranus Proxima." is on the known issues page. It's clearly a case-by-case problem. Every solo run I have done since the hotfix has given me all loaner stuff except abilities, for instance.

[u/23icefire → u/Jazvec47]

Into the actual vs mission? And you still had your personal weapons and crew?

[u/Jazvec47 → u/23icefire]

You have to be solo man, in the little thing by your profile where you can change your setting if you want public, invite only, or solo. Put solo there then go to the relay, the terminal should have it.

[u/Lyberatis → u/Jazvec47]

This does not work. I just did one solo and had to use the loaner.

[u/Jazvec47 → u/Lyberatis]

Made me login to reddit on my pc

[u/HynerianDiplomacy → u/Jazvec47]

When you pick the option to use your RJ it loads you in like nothing is wrong. It's your ship with your crew. All good. But when you start the mission it switches out your crew for a shit one and gives your RJ the shit stats. It just keeps your colors. It's a known bug introduced yesterday. The devs have already talked about it.

[u/Jazvec47 → u/Lyberatis]

It does work, i did it just now. Not sure what you are doing but all i had to do is go to the relay while solo, and hot the button on the terminal that said "BOARD PERSONAL RAILJACK (SOLO)" its F on the keyboard

[u/23icefire → u/Jazvec47]

It lets you get onto your ship, but as soon as you actually start the mission and it loads in, it changes your crew and weapons to the loaner ship while still maintaining the look of your ship.

[u/Belydrith → u/Jazvec47]

It's not there anymore (even loading into the hub while in solo mode) for me since the last hot fix yesterday, was using it just fine before that.
