Xbox One GPP to full game details - PLEASE READ

Request for Clarification:


  • Unsold exploration data will be removed and credited

Does this mean if a CMDR is on his way back from say, Sag A*, and didn't make it back, they're credited with the full monetary value (including "First Discovery" bonus, if applicable) which would also credit toward our Exploration Rank? It seems like it would, just want to make sure that the "First Discovered" bonus will be computed and credited, as this is something which would take place invisibly.

Also, hooray for a useful sticky.

I should be flying back now, but...Blazing Saddles is on...Mongo only pawn in game of life.

So, what exactly is not being carried over?

Exploration data. First discoveries mainly.

Just look at this as another build update, because what they are doing is essentially identical to what has happened with every other build update so far.

Do Naval Ranks also cross over?

Why don't you guys read Zac's post? It outlines everything, every detail very clearly.
 
You've got to remember that these people are simple gamers. These are people of teh Interwebz. The common clay of the new Galaxy.

Does this mean the Imperial Eagle won't be rank-locked on PC and Mac as well?



I agree, the rank-locked ships at least need to be removed and refuned, otherwise there'll be a mad rush to grab them now in order to bypass the rank requirement.

Could be an expensive mistake. Lose a 22 million Clipper without a Baron rank and you might not be able to buy it back on insurance.
 
Zac thanks for the update.

Can you clarify what will happen with Powerplay. As the release is Tuesday and the cycle updates on a Thursday. Will we be fully synced with the PC servers instead of the beta server!? I.e current galnet news and fully synced powerplay?

Hmm, with this latest LIVE! outage my question about exploration data is suddenly getting a bit pointéd.

I was racing back from Sag A, but then was going to slow it down and not even care. But I would like the Rank from my sales, so I second this question. If I am floating around the core and my data gets sold, what happens with first discovery bonuses (in the sense of pure monetary gain and not marking the planet as first discovered). A little confused as well.

Thanks for the sticky with the info! Loving it all
 
Zac doesn't mention Naval Ranks... he says minor faction ranks. I personally want to know that I can buy my Clipper and Courier back and not have to earn the rank again
 
Oh, another question if I may, when the game goes live, will all our screen shots and videos be able to be shared and go public? I have so many that I would like to share with my friends. Not to mention.. what great free advertising!

Granted, he doesn't seem to mention the naval ranks specifically, I am sure that is just an oversight, as he does state that the process will basically be the same as for the previous GPP build updates. On each of those, all ranks, including naval, have been preserved.

I hope so. That will be awesome if they make that happen. :)
 
I am deeply grateful for the effort that it must have taken to allow us to keep so much through this transition.

Thank You FD and Namaste,

Kind of torn now. Great news for ranks but the ship keeping kind of foils the plans I had going. Why of why did I buy a t9 to trade with until reset. Gotta go get my Python back lol

Or alternatively stay in there till release and have an full spec python plus money for something else as well...
Just saying.

Seriously. I hope they have ship skins available at launch so I can throw money at them for all of the awesomeness they've given me!!!

The following ships become locked to purchase unless you have the correct Rank:

  • Imperial Courier
  • Imperial Clipper
  • Federation Dropship
  • Federation Assault Ship
  • Federation Gunship
...

If I'm in a Clipper, for instance, and I don't have the rank for it, do I still get to keep it? If not, does it get liquidated into my account at full value?

Cmdr Methane, there would only be a mad dash of uninformed people trying to buy those ships because you can buy them without rank now in the PC/Mac game gallaxy if you know where to go to do it.
