Anything hinted in Beyond Trailer that we haven't seen in Beta?

Supernovae might be relatively rare, with them only occurring in our galactic quadrant once every millenia or so, but they are also highly visible across vast distances. These distances are large enough such that we can take advantage of the speed of light in order to view ancient supernovae by simply viewing them from a sufficient distance away. For example, to see the 1006 AD supernova again, one would simply move a just over 1000 light years from Sol in the opposite direction to relive the event again. Effectively, every system we jump to gives us a snapshot of what's happening with thousands of stars at a time at different points in history; if we assume 1 clearly visible supernova per millennia to be an average and they last for 3 months, then we will see one roughly every 4000 visited systems which is very much within reach for an explorer; this number could be raised with specialist long-range sensors too, to see ancient supernovae from tens or even hundreds of millenia ago, or made more easy by giving us the tools to estimate the age of black holes and neutron stars. The best part here is that supernovae are relatively short, often lasting only a few months, so they will actually be a continually evolving part of the game that changes practically in real time rather than just being added to a road to riches database.

Are you honestly suggesting the devs start adding relativistic effects to Elite? We already have Supernova remnants in game, and remnants from the death of low mass stars (planetary nebula) they will look the same if you view them from 1LS away or 300LY, there is also a reason massive Nebula like Barnard's loop look the same from 2000LY away. Massive can of worms adding relativistic effects to Elite, not to mention the hassle it would create for the art dept.

Legs and Atmosphere hints conspicuous by their very absence. This is coming beyond Beyond, but the Hype Train has hit the buffers at the end of the line. It must be difficult to hype from now on without giving the
game away.

hmmm I see. So even the complete absence of a feature in a trailer is a confirmation of the feature....

This. Changes. Everything.

Everything.

The fact one thing has been shown to not be in the beta gives me hope there are more.. which would be epic.

Were there two lines of items to explore in the Beta (as shown in the trailer) or three? If three, there are other things they are not showing.

At 0:09 in the trailer...Why the ship is still moving while the FSD is activated with the animation sequence to do the jump? It never worked like that. Perhaps they did that for the trailer only?

Planetary nebula?

I don't think its a planetary nebula. In the beta I visited a known planetary nebula and I didn't get any Codex discovery popup, nor did it put any entries into the Codex either. Although having planetary nebula as an entry in the Codex isn't a bad idea honestly.

No, this white thing is something else in my opinion....

They really should be part of the Codex, majority are very hard to spot in the gal map, and there are thousands out there.

Supernovas would be pretty neat, but the extreme rarity and nature of them, in addition to the fact that the shot from the trailer is from the inner orion spur, makes me think that is highly unlikely. Now, I could see them possibly adding a supernova in as a one off major event or something, but not really something that would lend itself to a codex entry like this.

While supernovas are extremely rare, novas are not. The likely rate of novae in the Milky Way is about 40 per year. The picture I posted above was actually from a nova (GK Persei, Nova of 1901). Nova remnants are much smaller and disappear after a few centuries.

Of course, brain trees and organic-type structures are not shown in this window .... so they could be occupying the next line that we don't see.
