And accompanying Kickstarter update:

Hi everyone,

The first phase of the alpha process has now been released, backers with the Alpha access reward tier or higher will be contacted directly with the details they need to download and play the first Alpha release. If you’re eligible and haven’t received our email then please contact edbackers@frontier.co.uk and we can sort it out.

The latest Elite: Dangerous Dev diary has also been released, in it David talks about the Phase One – Single Player Combat alpha build as well as showing some clips captured from the build.

Over the coming months new features and content will be made available; we’ll announce further details as we progress through the alpha process. If you’re not taking part in the alpha then keep your eyes on your inboxes for the next newsletter (coming soon!) which will feature the single player combat build in more detail.

The Backers App that has served us so well since the conclusion of the Kickstarter campaign has now been closed and the new Frontier online store has opened its virtual doors. You can visit the store via the link below:

elite.frontier.co.uk.

From the store you can pre-order Elite: Dangerous and purchase early access in the Alpha and Beta periods. We’ll add more exciting products to the store over the coming months.

Thanks for reading and until next time ... Right on Commander!

The Frontier Team

Alpha AND a dev Diary... you're spoiling us... no.. really, you are :D :D

Happy happy days... now if only the store wasn't being clogged up by Alpha Downloaders I'd be able to get my copy...

PS : Love the store Domain name :)
 
Hello!
I did not come for a long time, but this time I came back, and my request is still the same: I need subtitles movie in English, so I could translate it into Russian for Russian fans.
Sorry to bother you with these requests, and thanks to all those who can help me!
 
''stay cold to not be seen in space'': David Braben you are an incredible genius !

simply amazing...
i love your ideas.
 
Oh sweet Achenar... That gameplay looks pretty sensational. Loving the weapon sounds.
Expectations for the finished thing: rising.

Awesome footage of the Alpha in the video. Can't wait to download tonight.
Can anyone tell me if there is a mandatory to read document in the installation... I've got 1.5 hours of commuting by train to go through tonight. :cool:

Owh other question: can the Alpha be run offline? Or does it require connection for uploading of stats?

The alpha requires you to be online.

I've yet to watch the dev diary.. been running the game :)

First off.. I want to say I've had it working and got to the second scenario..

The game looks great. On my meager system with everything on high, v sync off, 1080p AA etc.. I am getting 40fps+ Thats a Q6600 and a HD 6790..

edit: fps varies with 25 fps with lots going but usually 35+

THis is great guys :)

I'm trying to learn to fly.. first impressions are that I need a HOTAS or controller. mouse is hard to use.. gonna try to get keys sorted.

I'll be gone most of the day on this but Frontier.. this is fantastic from what I have seen. ;)

Same here... Mouse /Keyboard works but is never going to be as easy or flexible as joystick... I think I may ask for my Crimbo pressie to be delivered early...

After all these Years of wait and hope....i have to pinch myself every 2 minutes if it is real. I am so exited. :D
 
If you hold the 'reverse' throttle down and keep holding it down you fly backwards... deeply weird...

Display is very smooth and detail excellent... Finding it difficult to fly with Keyb/Mouse combo but it is do-able... Now need to get to grips with weaponry....
 
PS the fluffy dice aren't in there but there's a little woman sitting on my dashboard... Think of the Penguin's Hula Girl in Madagascar! :D
