News Beyond - Chapter Four - Beta Announcement

why would further testing and troubleshooting be a bad thing?

well because consoles that why. but.... why are they going to live stream this stuff on the 18 i rater them releasing the beta on the 18 with some notes and letting the content creators do the live stream for them, after all they know how to play the game better than them. and that way we have even more time to make sure that this gets done right.

Will be beta-tester be under any form of NDA? Or are we allowed to publish anything and in any form we actually see in the beta?

Assuming the usual rules apply, fill your boots on videos, images, discussions etc.

I'd wait for Will to confirm though!
 
Looks like a very meaty update, with a beta-week's full of new ships (Imperial Explorer please, FD!) and Cylon Basestars along for the ride. :p

Thank you, FD.

pi, did you sign anything? thought so.

i guess you are expected to publish how much you possibly can, or even a bit more. and if you are really really good and conforming at it, you might get an invite to the next show!

There is always one.
 
Sorry to be picky, but more lightning variations please.

It's a bit too obvious, you guys did a great job in hiding the repeats in the asteroids, lightning needs more variation too. :)

Throughout the video, the large patterns are all the same, it breaks the atmosphere a wee bit seeing that.

Same, same, same.

Is randomly rotating the thing not possible?

Add a couple more variations and add in variable rotation and no-one would ever see it. :)

...and where do I find that f'in pills

It's a public beta, like the one we had for 3.0. So everyone can see everything directly in the game. You'll have a beta option in the launcher to play the beta instead the regular version.

What's that?! :eek: :eek: :eek:
They've said earlier that first scans for bodies are also going to be added to the galaxy map. So if you're the first to fully scan a planet/star with the new probes, your cmdr name will appear as "first scanner" (or whatever they called it). Apparantly that will also apply to systems already fully explored in the Bubble, so there will probably be a race to scan bodies on release day to get names on things.
