Premium Beta

Ok So I have had the Premium Beta for about a month now. It's beginning to look oh sooo good but I havea question. The premium beta says that it comes with ...Immediate access to Single Player Combat (Alpha 1). yet The only thing I can play is the scenarios, so is that the extent of what I get to play?

Yes that is the extent of it for now, FD gave you the Alpha 1.1 scenarios to practice and be ready for the beta :) . When 30th of May hits you will have access to the Premium Beta along with all the Alpha backers. That means you actually get access to the multiplayer and all the content.

Until Premium Beta is released, yes. The Scenarios are Alpha 1.

You should have less than a day to wait for Beta though.
 
The Alpha 1.1 is only about those scenarios.
It's only the first test of the combat mech.
So yes, the "Single Player Combat" is only those. It's not the real game btw.

For the next hour(s)? yes. Sometime today, you will get access to the beta. For now, you're just practicing how to fly.

We're all waiting.
 
No, just wait a few more hours and you can fly true the Bootis Star Constellation...over 200 Cubic Lightyears of space
 
From what I understand, Alpha 1 is just the scenarios. If not, I'll be very disappointed as that's all I've been playing for the last two weeks, honing my skills for the PB release.

But today is the day my friend!
 
Thanx

Thanx Folks. I have been waiting for this for a very long time. Like since the original on my buddies Commodore 64 back in the 80's :) yes I am that old. Ha

Hey me too! Man I purchased every edition of Elite too after the original....none of them lived up to the original....this one far exceeded my expectations :) Can't wait to play the full game.

Just a few hours to wait....woot!

Now I just need to find a way to buy a $150 HOTAS without the wife noticing.....:cool:
 
Never mind
The majority of alpha backers are that old as well

Welcome

Hmm I go back to the BBC Model B version before we even had the yellow sun! :( Weekends lost on that game as mum would bring home the BBC from school for me.

Btw - does it still have multiple views ie I remember F1-F4 were front, back and two sides with gun ports?

No rear view from what I can tell, but you are free to look around in your cockpit, whichever way you want (in limits of how your head can turn, ofc).
 
No but you can look to the left and right with freelook, via joystick / mouse mapping, track IR, Oculus or the ED Tracker created and found on these very forums. :)
