News Beyond - Chapter Four - Beta Announcement

There is really no reason to be angekotzt. Also, beta is free and optionial and a really good thing in general, because you _can't_ test it all internally.
Apart from that your post borders on naming and shaming. Devs are people too.
Spiel was anderes wenn dir das Spiel nicht mehr gefällt.

Also: can I have your stuff?

This really made me grins...
 
But if they're procedurally generated, ideally using system characteristics as the random seed, then each and every one could be different. Different colours, perhaps, based on the make-up of the nearby stars & planets. Different size, and speed, and ..errr.... forkiness?

I have a dream.

I hope that the dream becomes the reality.
 
Last time we had a trailer, I was told multiple times that trailers aren't supposed to be indicative of real gameplay. So I haven't seen anything to get excited about yet. I'll make up my mind when I see the beta.
Some of FD's trailers use cinematics and should be taken with a pinch of salt, this one was in-game footage (we saw this stuff on our visit to Frontier a few weeks back) so I think you should allow yourself a modicum of excitement! :D

FD has been using in-game footage - yes, even space legs are in game, doesn't mean they are available to us - for years now.

So it is pretty much what you see is what you get.
 
Week 1 = 1
Week 2 = 2
Week 3 = 3
Week 4 = 4
Therefore 4 complete weeks = 1 month (and before you say it I know some have 5)
Do you want to borrow my fingers

Well

(1) ==1 week==> (2) ==2 weeks==> (3) ==3 weeks==> (4)

Or

(1) ==1 week==> (2) ==2 weeks==> (3) ==3 weeks==> (4) ==4 weeks==> (5)

OA seemed to think it was the latter, providing an empty week at the end for beta. His wording sounded specific so he may have confirmed with Frontier.

Dunno if this has already been answered as i dont have the time to go through all 43 pages of questions and WoW's but are all the new updates, especially the new discovery drones etc been tested and are VR friendly.

Im going to assume they are as this game is a show case for VR.

I guess rouglhy tested, that's why we're gonna have a public beta.

VR compatibility was asked during the livestream with Adam. He said he's mostly confident it will work fine in VR as well but he needed to double check this. I'm playing in VR only so I will deeply test it for sure.

Uh, no. 3 weeks. Its not that hard, really..
Take a long hard look at the Beyond screenshot, maybe it opens to you also. ;)
 
I'll stop holding my breath for the smuggling update I was waitingfor, it seems C+P was supposed to be it. Ho-hum.

I guess I'll just hope the Panther Clipper is coming along as we've hoped so there's something fun. Squadrons are an interesting idea, but I'd prefer to be able to profess allegiance with a minor faction personally.

Still, maybe it'll be more interesting than I'm aware. Time will tell. I'm just not gonna get my hopes up like I did for Q1.

You can create your 1 person squadron just for yourself, and then make the 1 pilot squadron pledge allegiance to that minor faction. Done! you did that personally.

It seems that everyone will be able to create 1 squadron, and you will be able to join several squadrons apart from yours, so no problem in there.
 
I could be wrong here but I believe the deal is that we can talk about what we've all seen now (and, for example, I can now mention the asteroid explosion and say that was the thing we all went "WOW" at) but I'm not sure we can ever simply talk about everything we saw, only the things that FD announce and not until after they've announced them.

Usual deal... No talky talky until they do the releasey releasey thing (eg livestreams etc).... Plus (@T.j) it's far more fun to know stuff and tease people with hints :D You should know that by now :D
