News Beyond - Chapter Four - Beta Announcement

The clan-system in the Elite. Finally! But...

"compete for top spots in seasonal leader boards" - in the trailer we see squadrons with a population of 500. Very few communities in the game can have such a number of members. As a result, it will be a competition of just a few factions, and the rest will be left behind.

It will be sad.
 
So the OP states new ships, plural, for 3.3. I think we all expected to see the Krait Phantom, but I wonder how many ships we are talking about? Two? Three? More possibly?

I expect two: an explo ship and a mining ship, introducing dedicated explo and mining slots. Mining gets both dedicated hardpoints and internals (so able to defend itself while having mining 'weapons' withoutbeing a warship), explo optionals will be added to Asp and DBS lines, plus the Adder.

One can hope. :)

For me I'd imagine 2.

If I were Frontier and had a 3rd I'd hold it back for a bit.

New ships = increased income via cosmetics, you'd want to spread that out a bit IMHO.

I've said before I think a new SRV is a no-brainer though.

So I will guess 2 + an SRV, we'll see!

Great, thanks FD. Now I have to go and get myself a Rift.....after I've got a new motherboard, CPU and GPU. I wish this game was dead because its going to kill my wallet!
 
Excellent news.

I've added all of the new information to my blog so if you're reading this and don't have a scooby doo as to what's going on, you can read the full lowdown, here.

That would be ideal, agreed.

Unfortunately my pessimism expects more combat ships. I hope I'm very wrong. :(
 
I wonder if the ships being released would be like the Federation and Empire.

As in, we got the DropShip, Assault Ship and Gunship.

Alliance has the chieftain, challenger then crusader. Aside from the type 10, which is a type 9 on steroids, I get the feeling the Alliance is gonna get an original or "iconic" large ship. Similar stats and stuff to the corvette and cutter.
