Well you know what they say ... A picture is worth a thousand words
But sometimes I can play and it really is good. But no trading for me ... can't load to stations.
Well, really, the testers (That'd be us!
) are here to help Frontier fix their game, not necessarily to play it as if it is a full game. I hope you will stick with it and wait for those bug fixes that are on the way . I know I am certainly excited to see where this game goes!Well, really, the testers (That'd be us!
I really do not have problems with that ... sometimes I can log sometimes I can't. It is expected from beta versions. It is much better to find out now than after release ...
Well, at least you've a bright outlook on things. If we support Frontier in anyway that we can while they need us, then it helps the game to become what everyone envisions it to be at final release.
Well so far I think its excellent and I have high hopes for the finished product where I wont run into so many niggles such as that loading screen. I've come across a couple of things like black graphical artefacts ruining the visuals that I've reported but so far its great!
Its nice to get off the rails for a change and make my own story.

Yeah, I think that is my favorite part so far. I am in charge, no quests, no rules. I do what I want, when I want.
I am having an absolute blast! Im using x52 and trackir and i really feel like i am in control of the spacecraft. Been playing all day today and cant seem to be able to stop. There are a couple of minor bugs for me but nothing game breaking and i already have the feeling almost that i am in a complete game and it fills me with excitement to know that so much more is going to be added.
The profit on trading is just to little to really do it for the creds but it is worth it just for the travel and getting safe to your destination (and in the end thats what its about for me anyway). Making creds with combat however is easy and you get to pvp in those areas aswell so win win for me.
tldr: I LOVE IT!

Well luckily I've only had the spinning sidewinder bug once since the premium beta went live and that's the only issue that I've encountered so far. I haven't had the disappearing space station or worse still the disappearing stars that others seem to be getting.
Couldn't agree more! I am overjoyed to be a part of the development team, however small my individual part is!
I enjoy it a lot so far but, i really really cant wait for a smooth transition from supercruise to normal speed, actually i wish there was no transition but i think that would be a bit too much to ask for.
Also, a tad too many interdictions. If i could at least scan the system map to potentially see where they are and avoid them (in the future maybe?), so far it feels like final fantasy random encounters.

There will always be some kind of transition, which basically hides the fact that it is either trying to find an instance or creating one for you in which you are the Master. If they do it right, and make further improvements to the network code then it will seem less and less like a transition and therefore more seamless.
The encounters ARE random at the moment, but I am sure that FD have gotten enough complaints about that such that they will at least ATTEMPT to change it.
Yeah, the transition between combat speed and cruise speed is a tad bit disengaging. All I ask is that the transition be made a tad bit more smooth, then I'd be overjoyed with it.
The game is not very stable for me, but it sure as hell shows a lot of promise.
The dogfighting is great, supercruise is fun, sounds are fantastic.

Hey Walltar
Think i recognize you from the SC forums. Sorry to hear about that getting delayed but at least you have this to tide over and help test so welcome
Thats a snazzy picture and it does describe the game accurately now and then. I know ive had it a bit myself for sure. It seems mainly linked to trying to play at the busier times and then trying to load into the busier places.
This PB is really about load testing as its the same thing we had in alpha 4. Thats good though because it definitely needs some dev love in the connection/network side.
I played a few hours today.
I have a x52 pro and handeling is smooth I van dock and undock without problem. Had an occupied landing area once but landed the craft anyway... Inside the other craft when I was taken into the station I blew up eventually lol.
Some crashes and going out of supercruise takes a long time. And stuttering music when flying in the station.

I love it. The atmosphere and graphics are great. I haven't really played multiplayer, and struggled with the Sidewinder v Sidewinder mission. I failed it 4 times, then realized I could stay behind him much easier by reversing throttle once he got close to me. This afternoon, he almost killed me but went head to head, he shot my cockpit out, but I killed him as he passed me be! A great moment.
