2.2 Beta news?

[Gryphorim]

I watched through a lot of gamescom, and have been keeping a watchful eye on these forums, but I have not seen any indication of a start date of 2.2 beta.
Is it just that no date (even ballpark figure) has been announced, or have I missed the memo?

Don't quote me on this, although since I'm typing this out you technically can, I remember from one of the livestreams they had announced a beta release date. I think it was mid-October or about there.

As far as I know it's being released in October.(not sure if the beta and actual release are different but if they are different then I suspect sometime in September maybe.)

Close, you were right about Mid october being the OFFICIAL release date of 2.2. The beta will come earlier then that, sometime between now and mid october.

I dunno, but if they make ship fighters and passenger mission super ultra grindy, I hope they get better feedback this time, lol.

Thanks to everyone for the clarifications on the date. I have beta access but I cleared my save recently so I doubt I'll be able to do much with limited funds and a sidewinder or even a base Cobra Mk III

The keelback isn't that expensive, so at beta prices you should be able to at least screw around with Fighters a little.

For the beta, I think that Frontier will give free access to large ships to make the tests, as they have already done for other beta

As with all beta runs the price of all items will be reduced to 10%. That ship costing 100mil will cost 10mil. Your ship keeps its value so if you have 20mil in a cobra or whatever you can sell it and get enough to buy any ship in the game.
Or just kill a few ships in a res worth 100k, thats 1mil of bounties in one kill once you hand it in.

Good idea, I'll give it a try. I do remember the beta prices being 1/10th the normal cost.

CMDR Thrust from Bradford has already done everything there is to do in the Beta and is currently having a round table discussion with Thargoid diplomats at their homeworld.

I hope they do that. During the Engineers beta I had some credits but not enough to buy a really big ship even at 1/10th the cost. I could buy but not outfit since, oddly, the outfitting prices in some cases were full price.

I'm hoping that with the release coming in mid October, that the beta starts in mid September at the latest. There's a lot of stuff in that patch that will need comprehensive balance testing.

I thought he was already playing season 3?

Ah, my mistake. Yes, probably walking around Jameson Memorial as we speak
