Hi everyone,

The latest Dev Diary has been posted, in it David talks about the alpha process so far and what we can expect in the next iterations, it also features some clips from the upcoming second phase focusing on multiplayer combat.

We’re looking forward to encountering all the alpha backers in battle soon!

We’d like to thanks everyone who has participated in the alpha process so far, your feedback has been valuable in improving the game. If you’re in the alpha, but haven’t provided feedback yet, then please do so! We have set up a dedicated area on our forums for alpha feedback on discussions, come visit our forums here:

http://forums.frontier.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=29

Many people have asked if there is an easy way to upgrade from the beta program to join the Alpha so we have made this possible through our store. Simply add the Alpha product to your store basket and it will automatically discount the value of the Beta version you have paid for.

This is for the software only and is not affected by any other items you may have pledge for. More information is available in the Q&A for backers on the store.

You can purchase the alpha access in the store here.

We’ll be back soon with more information on the game and it’s progress with the next newsletter, due for release next week.

Until next time Commanders
 
Wooo!

I'd rep you but I cant!

Loved the head-on collision @ 1:21 too...

Ramming speed! Looks fun :eek:

/searches back of sofa for alpha upgrade cash/ :D

So traveling, trading and outfitting - that means first supercruise, then space stations. Damn, stop teasing me alpha, I can't any way afford you (except if someone sponsors me ;)).

Thanks for a update FD, and thanks for fixing shop, and most importantly - bearing with us :D
 
At about 1:16 - did anybody notice in the background...somebody is playing ED on a 3 monitor setup!

MULTIPLE MONITOR SUPPORT CONFIRMED! Yay!
 
Finally a new dev diary.

i must admit it: each news is becoming a painful waiting. i hope that the multiplaying alpha stage will solve that.
(or i should do something to get me more busy than continually refreshing the forum) :D:D:D:D:D
 
Thanks for the update FD, nice to get a bit more clarity on the alpha process. Three more stages to go (including multiplayer) before Beta.

So I've got a little bit more time to get my new machine before Beta starts!

BTW great new artwork in the video, I need to have a look at peek of the week to see if I've missed something ...
 
Hah! 1:15 in the whole office are playing the alpha with each other. Are you guys getting any work done any more? ;)

I saw at least four players in that shot... Loved the bit at 1:20 where they completely totalled their ship by going too fast! Superb! :D

Looking forward to next week immensely now... Multi-player, followed by travel and trading from the sounds of things... :D:D:cool::cool::cool:

The next phase is multiplayer, trading and the others will come in later phases.

Don't want to rain on your parade but that's not what they said. Multiplayer next week "only". Alpha build 3 will be travel, 4 will be trading and so on...

Or what David said could just mean that these aspects will eventually come down the road at some point during the alpha stage.

Edit: Ninjad by Michael it seems...
