Should be great for skimmer and disable power grid missions as well.
Or in a haz res, the dynamite fishing approach to bounty hunting.

So, I'm hoping most of us are feeling positive about the upcoming beta?

Remains to be seen.. I am with those who fear the ADS honk change is going to take away their game play and be a chore to get through rather than a great new thing. That rather over-shadows the rest of it for me, really.

Can you selectively play with / without the beta if you want to, when it is released?

Why torture us ?

I like most of what I'm seeing; I just hope my concerns are allayed in the implementation. I'm looking at probably around 7K honks worth on DW2. If I have to spend my time mucking around with the new mechanics on route, I might just as well not bother, whereas I now have a good idea if I might want to stop and smell the roses based first on the system body count honk notification results and then the system map itself.

I am not super hyped about the lightning stuff by itself. It's nice but how often are you going to be wowed by it. Still, having more "stuff" in space is very welcome, and i wish we'd get comets too at some point.

With these new mining weapons what happens to those players who spent 4 weeks to get Zemina Torval's Mining Lance? Will it be obsolete now?

An old dream, for sure

Will did mention that it won't be in this release, so props to him for at least saying that. To me, and I'm sure I'm reading more into this than I probably should, even addressing the issue as straightforwardly as he did, it seems this may be something that they're considering implementing in the future.

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. :)

Yes breaks the immersion, but Frontier must be able to fix with a random system.

Maybes they are Guardian tech thrusters that will be fast enough to get you through the Thargoid wake. With added guardian tech fsd
