News Beyond - Chapter Four - Beta Announcement

I feel sorry for us HOTAS guys who'll need even more buttons which are lacking so much

Need a bigger desk:

I liked the exploration mechanics demo, a lot, and look forward to getting a lot of use from the new system. Now wondering just when the snapshot they use when the beta starts would have recorded your position. Hopefully when I was out in the middle of nowhere....
 
I am not looking forward to the livestream because there is always too much waffle and faffing about.

I'll wait for it to get posted to YouTube and just skip through to the interesting bits. If there's more than 20 minutes of actual information I'll eat my hat.


You want any salt with that?

Then say that?
This > " whose expectations are now so low " is unnecessary.

Not sure man. My expectations are clearly higher and I think my expectations are pretty low. The orrery isn't a bad thing to add but it's nothing i would get excited about (it's just a really, really basic map) and tbh it couldn't look any more simplistic. The orbits aren't even remotely accurate. They're all equally spaced circles. I don't get what's so great about it from your perspective. I'll honestly never look at it. It doesn't even look pretty.

Is that all you took away from the stream?
 
Really? The repeated mention of jizzing is ok, though?

Fair enough.

I am very much looking forward to the hotfix following shortly after the release of 3.3 so I can start exploring the galaxy like a proper explorer instead of like a very slow game of pin the tail on the donkey.
Cocalarix already has it up if you want to read about it: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...admap-Regularly-Updated?p=7088571#post7088571

People weren't even expecting an orrery as we've been told plenty of times it was either not possible or very low priority (not sure which). I also wouldn't take what you saw at face value, that was one system; I'd say rather wait till beta to see how it performs. But, even if you don't get what's great about it, others clearly do (judging by the reactions in the chat) and that should be enough.

I've given up trying to understand why people like something I don't; it only gets me frustrated.

Ok, you won't look at it; that's fine. I don't look at Powerplay and can't figure out why people enjoy it. I don't PvP (except CQC when it was still active in the first 24 hours after it launched, lol); and can't figure out why people enjoy it. There are a lot of things I don't like, and will never use in this game. But, it's a game for people with a lot of different preferences and tastes.

I know mate. I'm just expressing my opinion. It's a public forum, that's what people do.
 

Literally the only thing I read in that summary, that leaves me a bit cold, is that certain "points of interest" are going to become instantly targetable once you've probed the planet. I will continue to push for there to initially be Search Zones, & that the PoI's only become targetable after you have visual confirmation of them.

Oh, & I do wish they hadn't gone with unlimited probes. How do they explain that in lore terms?
 
meh

couldn't give a monkeys. how about you get your latest venture up to par instead of focusing on the old??

PS4 still needs VR

How about you get cross playing sorted?

Level out all the platforms

PLEASE

Avid player in 4 days but i want more lol
