ED XBO Beta available to XBox One Preview today

The GPP doesn't take place in the same universe as it's early access rather than the final version.

Michael, please confirm something, and head off a HUGE forum rage-fest before it starts ... XBox players and PC players WILL get the exact same content at the exact same time?

You don't normally listen to me, or answer my questions, but you might want to answer this one, and answer it now.

It's pretty clear from the announcement video from FD that CQC is coming to XBox One first, it's not a case of a misunderstanding.
 
There is alot of content in that video we haven't seen. i'm only speculating but the galnet mentioned tuesday. we might be seeing this content soon.

these game modes need to be tested and balanced. there appears to be capital ships front and center (which until yesterday i'd never seen one in game).

Michael, can you say anything about whether it will be possible using one Commander accross computer / console?

Like play my commander on XBox just together with other XBox commanders in a "console private group" and then logout and go on with same Commander, same ship, same cargo on PC on the normal PC universe?

I fully understand that consoles and PCs will have different patch levels / binaries and likely won't go together in the same instances. Question would be if the universe is shared though.
 
Yeah this is complete we've been supporting this game since the begining telling us to wait for content while the xbox one gets it first is complete and utter garbage.

They'll be able to buy ships and credits with xbox points next ;)
 
CQC feels a bit tackled on...but I guess there will be lot of happy players for it.

All the raging aside it looks quite fun. So far I've seen:

  • Narrow spaces mean that there is a use for smaller ships. This is something people have been asking for
  • Weird blue cross things appear to recharge shields immediately when you fly through them. This is something people have been asking for

And I'm sure that there is more. I don't see how people can be unhappy about it.
