Anyone else who has standard beta wish that we could get the single player too

Single player for Prem beta and standard
- Thread starter Cactus_Punch
- Start date
it's quite possible they might give standard Beta backers the 1.1 build on the 30th of may when P-beta starts properly ... who knows?
I'm content to wait too, but it seems a bit more fair that we could at least also get the single player, fair enough if we just bought the game but we have invested by buying beta access, mainly cause the game looks so damn good I just wanna try it
Yes Beta backers should get the alpha 1.1. also the gamma backers!
It would really take off the edge I think a huge number of people wouldn't mind about waiting at all if they just had single player to mess around with, allow me to get some practice with my joystick too, bought it for Elite Dangerous but haven't found anything to try use it on apart from Strike Suit Zero
Why do you have to come and bash people like this? I am Premium Beta, but I would not mind Standard Beta getting single player access on 30/MAY, the latest. That is MY opinion, now go and bash me as well for {whatever reason}
I paid for the £50 standard beta tier back during kickstarter in December 2012. Since we're in 2014 now, I felt I could justify to myself the extra £50 spend to bump up to premium beta last week. It is a new financial year after all!
Same here.
It meant I had to upgrade my system a bit earlier than expected, but it came yesterday and I finally got to play myself instead of watching it on YouTube.
I have a lot of practicing to do!
Sadly for me I didn't learn about Elite until after the kickstarter and cannot afford to fork out lots on games
<scratches head> Bash people? <wanders away, bemused>
I don't think he was bashing anyone. Surely this is a discussion forum and everyone's allowed to have an opinion?
It wouldn't affect me if all testers had access to the single player, but it's a phased roll-out so makes sense for FD to do it this way.
OFF-TOPIC WARNING
You can have a look at DCS World if you'd like a good and *free* simulator to play around in until E: D goes live

If you're not familiar with it, the base simulator comes with the SU-25 (Russian ground-attack jet), and the publicly available beta that's going on currently also gives free access to the training version of the P-51 Mustang. The other paid modules, such as the A-10, Huey, and Ka-50 all plug into that, & all work together at the same time - you can fly your SU-25, your friend could be in an F-15, somebody else can be flying the Huey, or an A-10, while yet another person is driving a tank, all at the same time in the same multiplayer session.
The systems modelling in the free SU-25 is fairly basic, but I have to warn you it's a proper simulator and *not* an arcade type game like HAWX, for example. The A-10 module, for example, is a (slightly) watered down version of a training aid that was built for Air National Guard A-10 squadrons. All the switches in the real aircraft are modelled in the sim, and most of them work the way they're supposed to. It's great fun though, & the basic DCS World is definitely a good way to exercise the new joystick without spending any money
Anyway, back on topic - as somebody who falls into the Standard Beta bracket, I'd be quite happy if we were also given slightly earlier access to the single-player component before the launch of the full beta. I'm not too fussed about it though, & there's a large part of me that would prefer to wait for the more fully featured beta.

I tried DCS world and wow that is one hard game! I gave it a good try but its a bit too complex for me x.x
SINGLE PLAYER FOR EVERYONE!!
But I guess so single player for all betas and alphas would be cool tho
