News Beyond - Chapter Four - Beta Announcement

Yeahhh I remember this would happen to ships in the Star Trek Armada games. it makes perfect sense.

It would indeed be good if they do that (no shields in gas clouds).

Combat could happen in gas clouds couldn't it with the right incentives for players. :)
 
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?

But... you're Bitstorm. A bit is binary. You are literally 'Two Storms'. I thought you'd be happy [where is it]
 
could you do us console players a favor then considering we cant play beta! disable the first mapped function that way pc guys dont get weeks of a head start an kill off the bubble .

Forgive me for probably asking an obvious question, but where did all this wonderful stuff leave Ps4 players, in terms of timelines of 3.4?

Unfortunately, the beta will only be available to Commanders on PC. However, we will be hosting weekly in-depth livestreams and publishing summaries of the various features, so players across all platforms will know what's coming and digest the changes coming in Chapter Four.

We will announce the release date of Chapter Four at a later date.

Yeah please let us customize the HUD colors in-game Frontier!

Hi there Cosmo, customisable HUD colours won't be coming in the Chapter Four update.

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?

Nope, there will be no NDA for players trying out the content during the beta. You'll be able to publish and share anything you experience in the beta. :)
 
If you watch the engine trail at the start, it looks as though the thrusters are cutting in and out .... maybe the Plasma cloud (guessing that's what it is) causes interference to modules. Maybe shields also.

Low emissions would fit , temperature shows as 27%. Maybe it's in explorer mode, as we usually do turn off shields while exploring.

What happens in Beta, stays in Beta - it should follow that any "first mapped" systems in Beta would be available for first mapping on release.

The beta happens in a side universe so things discovered in beta won't map across to the 'real' world.

However if there is not an exact release synchrony between the various platforms then whoever gets the release first is going to miss out claiming Lave.
I would as soon have most things in the bubble not claimable by cmdrs... at least not those with stupid names anyway :D
