there is more chance of mercury freezing over and saturns rings melting on the same day, than FDev giving us anything other than "no announcement at the moment." i am seriously so ready i even have my tinfoil helmet and my supply of hobnobs ready to go, please FDev give us a sign we are ready
Game Preview / Closed Beta
- Thread starter Old Duck
- Start date
That's not a paid beta, though, that's a pre-order that comes with a beta code. That kind of beta also tends to run for a short period.
ED's Game Preview release for Xbox One was more like a Steam Early Access release. People *paid* for a "preview" release of the actual game - a preview release that ran for 4 months.

I agree with the speakers of the posts above.
I've been watching the game, I watch streams. I'm waiting for the game like no other. I sold the PS4 and bought the PS4 pro. When the game is released I'll buy VR.
Frontier you need people like me. We will check the readiness of the gameplay. Players from different countries, check localization. I'm from Russia, check Russian translation.
I can keep a secret :x. I am ready to become a beta tester.

I'm pretty sure the Salomé event gave them all the stress test network info they needed ;-)
It's amazing how the things you want have so much more power over anyone than the things they have. Be careful as with the days after Christmas when thing return to normal. When you have all the new things you will come down. That intense drive will fade the feeling will be gone. We are on tract for Q2 FD has reassured us several times. Enjoy the lead up time, Enjoy the game. Everyone is excited and Posting and talking with each other helps pass the time. As long as we are all doing it for the fun of it and for sharing the excitement it Great. We should know the launch date or even have the game within the next 5 weeks.
well my birthday is this thursday, and ED will be my birthday present to myself. so i guess a couple of more days wait won't hurt, but i might have to stock up on tea and hobnobs. i love the taste of hobnobs playing games 
GPP on XBox was indeed cheaper than full release. Theoretically though the program means that we play the game as is and release is not guaranteed, so it is a discount for some minor risk.
It was played on a separate server until very late, so no discoveries were carried on. We started with 100K, not 1K credits, but, of course, it does not mean much, just a few missions. Until very late it was not certain if we will keep our game progress, but in the end we did get all our ships, money and ranks. Considering it was accumulated over months, it was not a small risk too.
I don't think you'll see many PS4-specific bugs though, UI is the same across all platforms and control scheme is pretty much identical to XBox1.
Of course, GPP logo is cool and I still put it on all my ships

Come on, FDev!! Put us out of our misery!

I included a heart, clown, and a robot to show you how much I love you! (Idea stolen from Old Duck)
Edit: or four question marks. Lol

Speaking of aliens, what on terraformed Mars is a hobnob?
ps - Happy Birthday!
You're a school teacher IRL, aren't you? LOL, thanks! I still want to hear from the fellow to whom this hobnob means so much. There's a relationship there that surpasses taxonomic rank, something poetic and intangible.
No, but my mum was and my sister is ;-) The video tells you all you need to know!
CHEESE - CAKE! GARLIC n BREAD!
i just have a ritual of sorts when i'm playing games, a nice cup of tetleys tea, a packet of hobnob biscuits and a pack of cigarettes. then spend a few happy hours making an absolute idiot of myself, and thanks for the happy birthday

i know but if i didn't have a cig, i wouldn't have a controller or a window lmao
Just don't confuse yourself and go dipping the cigs in the tea and lighting up the hobnobs (hobnobs have a very high natural THC concentration so be warned!!!)
