Congrats FD!!!
Was a really nice surprise to see a release before the weekend!
See you all in the black commanders

 

[Speccy]

Hope you've fixed the annoying bug of selecting a destination in the System map clearing your jump route on the Galaxy map.

It wasn't fixed with yesterday's beta 1.8 update.

 

[YoBuck]

Great stuff FD

 

[Cmdr Basskicker]

On a Friday no less.... Shows a tremendous amount of confidence in the latest beta patch. Can't wait to get home from work this evening.... Might have to try to edge out of the door a little early.

 

[Balfuset790]

Holy... o.o

I'll say one thing, you guys know how to put together an awesome trailer

 

[Nyres]

BTW amazing job going suprise launch day! =). Also are we getting a final patch note list today?

 

[Titus Balls]

You guys have cojones of painite, I'll grant you that!

Well done to the team for all your hard work over the last weeks. I hope the launch and the weekend go smoothly so you get to take a breather.

 

[HipToss]

Glad I am away this weekend. Hopefully you have staff onsite this weekend to manage the server traffic!

 

[Nightbringerx]

Awesome, dang considering what was accomplished......fast!

Now to wait 6 hours.....(pout).
lol.

Jackanackanory!

 

[Commander Starcloak]

My reaction watching the video:

"OMG do we get our own Power DECALS?!?!?! AWESOME!!!!!!" I may be a teensy bit excited.

I really did not expect this just before the weekend - I thought for sure it'd be coming on Monday or Tuesday. Wow. That's sure rearranged my plans for the weekend.

See you out there, Commanders!

 

[E. Eriksen]

Looking forward to playing with this! Good job guys

 

[CMDR MAIN SEQUENCE]

I've just remember I promised the wife we would spend the evening together. Bother, said Poo.

 

[Hagledesperado]

Spoiler

 

[who?]

The galaxy will be down for 6 hours? What happens if the aliens attack? If we're all speaking Thargoid when the servers come back up, I'm blaming you Frontier!

Power: Thargoid #163834
Reward: Join me, and I won't eat your family...

 

[Beetlebum]

This stuff brings me back to the game. Can't wait to play!

 

[lovely lovely]

Good luck all - thanks for the hard work.

I seem to remember someone saying if they copied the beta folder to your main folder it cut down download times, is this true? My 2mbps makes is too slow when the stakes are this high!
