News Beyond - Chapter Four - Beta Announcement

[rp198419]

Ah, that'll be "Orbital Shuttle" and "Lifter" then.

What will?

Context?

 

[l1nk-dna]

I'll be happy to finally see the easy exploration and mining place holder mechanics removed. Forwards.

It's the footsteps of doom, macOS players have about 6 weeks to go and then it's 'time gentlemen please'.

In all rights, you're due a refund if you've invested in the long term playing on a Mac. If you have other means, fair enough, and I wish you the best. If you don't, I can't blame you for cashing in your chips.

Well Played Will and Paige,

Not a single hint this was coming on the Monday Twitch Stream, not a single 'tell'.

Other than the hint to watch the forums today.

I'll be BootCamping, but some won't. It'll be the first time the ED community has forcibly shrunk.

Sorry to be picky, but more lightning variations please.

yeah, that's a bit of a downer. it means those are textures, not dynamically generated. or the footage was done with an in-game early mockup (ed lewis said it was in-game but when asked specifically about the explosion).

anyway, wait & see.

 

[rp198419]

[*]I fear that this awesome space lightning event will just be a new Guardian thing and not something explorers can find anywhere at anytime in deep space.
[/LIST]

Most of my worries come from a lack of information, and I hope the livestreams and beta puts all of my fears to rest. So I'm positive, but still tentatively.

Agreed. If it's something specific to Goids/Guardians, I won't bother.

 

[rp198419]

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?

That would certainly take the gloss of the update for me. I want to use the new system when I choose to - not every time.

Guess the livestream will reveal more.

 

[Cervantes01]

3 of them on the right?

Babylon 5 shadows confirmed?

They be thargoids and the krait is in the atmosphere of a gas giant.

 

[knowles2]

Could be or it could be more types of thargoids or perhaps the Guardian AI has finally got some ships up and running!

 

[knowles2]

Heat vents seem "internal" between the wings.

Top seems ultra-flat.

Does have a stealthy feel to it.

The completely different engines on it seem odd. They look great, and maybe it's purely a design thing, but why would a manufacturer completely switch out the engines for a completely different configuration?

Because if they don't they be accuse of copy and pasting their designs !

 

[Kromdorr]

I prefer to call it the SCSI drive.

[Cervantes01]

Interesting angled thrusters too

Probably the best imagine of "it", it's lit up because of the light given off by the lightening!





And the cluster again.




Kinda thinking Guardian gas cloud mining platforms.

It makes me think that the krait phantom is full of guardian tech.

Picked up a prim drive card just this last year for a 486 build I'm working on. Got it NITB even. Funny times we live in.

 

[Nerix]

Whohooo, looking forward to the streams! Curious about all the stuff, especially what they mean with "scenario interactions". Do we have any clues about what this could be?

 

[fu9ar]

Looks good, Frontier folks.

Uhh, what? 486 build? I have a (still) garage full of Commodre and PET stuff too if your interested! Even an IEEE Flash!. Heh heh.

Edit: Just checking....still have the Rockwell Aim 65 here too!

edit oops

 

[LeoBartlet]

That was IT? That was what you were all hyping as being the undisclosed content that would make us whoop and gush like K-Pop fans... an explosion?

Small minds and all that

You will have to use it every time. It is already confirmed multiple times.

 

[WR3ND]

Never mind. This post was pretty off topic.
