News Beyond - Chapter Four - Beta Announcement

Dayum that looks good...

I only fail to see what happens with the Asteroid after detonation.. Does is split? Does it stay the same with materials magically spawn outside of it..

Anyone? Please?
 
usually beta periods have no end date, stuff can only get out of beta when it's deemed ready. hard scheduling the end of a beta in advance is not bad per-se, but it's indeed weird and smells fishy.

anyway, doesn't really matter. in elite 'beta' means 'toy around and show us how hyped you are while we finish last minute stuff'. unless frontier changes policy considerably this time, release will not be the same code as beta, it will include bugs reported in beta (and before) and will most likely introduce even more bugs, actually 1 or 2 spectacular deploy fails are to be expected. 'beta', you know, is just a buzzword nowadays.
Ha ha ha.

The preview they gave last year showed the asteroid splitting apart, albeit only in wireframe at that stage.

The original work in progress (mock up?) footage from Lavecon showed the rock splitting into diferent parts.

Promised myself not to get hyped but ohhhh boy. That's a pretty good trailer as well, quite short but contains a fair bit of detail - well done.

May as well call the PC the 'Elite machine' from now on and delete all other software, given I won't be playing anything else for the foreseeable future.
 
Looks awesome! Btw, is it just me or did it seem you can link squadrons to factions?

Looks like something like that...

Squadrons

Squadrons is a new in-game way of uniting like-minded Commanders to support factions of their choice, take part in Community Goals together and compete for top spots in seasonal leader boards. New communication tools, including in-game chat channels, will help you blaze trails together, and leave your Squadron's mark on the galaxy.
