Glad I'm not the only one! Although I did get in once and flew around was just coming out of hyperspace and the game crashed! But I did get a chance to see all the awesome ui chages and a few of the fratures... love the outposts amazing really looking forward to the bugs being ironed out a bit!

I have the same problem as many others, in that I can't play solo. I have however played some of the tutorials and am very impressed. Elite Dangerous is looking very polished and feels great to play. Well done to all at Frontier.
I got in
And it is INCREDIBLE! Such a difference compared with the previous Beta version.
Everything, I mean, everything is much more refined. The graphics make you feel the cold of space, the beauty of the planet detail and its aura are incredible.
Just stunned. Thank you.

Congratulations on a beautiful game so far.
A few suggestions:
The tutorials could do with more signposting as to what the next immediate objective should be. In particular it is not hard to lose yourself in the Travel tutorial.
Again, the galaxy map bug and the where-did-my-galaxy-go problem in online play.
It would also be a good reminder to show which stations had commodity markets, shipyards, offices etc. on the system map schematic. But I do like the system map throwback to the Frontier days. Also, what about the scaled system map just like in Frontier and in the sneak previews earlier in the year?
There's also a glaring black hole in the centre of the screen as you face forward when going into frame shift and hyperspace.
But yes. Great job so far. Everything that is running is running very well indeed. In particular the graphics are extremely slick and sharp and vibrant, and despite the sheen it runs extremely smooth and canny. Looking forward to more!

I had noticed a distinct lack of mid-range stars (especially type G/F/A) and a surplus of brown dwarfs (type L/T/Y) in the procedurally generated content. Does this mean that's been fixed?
Beta2 Feedback
A few issues, I've notice, nothing major.. not sure if anyone else noted these.
A. Lack of stars, the Galaxy body appears to be off, now see a lot of black!!
B. Blue circle (ellipse) assume part of navigation, not associated to anything. hovering in space...
C. Blue arrow pointing down, assume part of (B), floating in space, unsure why?
D. Mouse sensitivity reduced as default (don't have a Joystick yet) so flight, especially fighting is very difficult.
E. standard fitted laser hardly does any damage, came up against a cobra, got his shield down eventually, but couldn't take him out, no damage being taken after shield taken offline.
F. When in jump drive, heading toward destination, destination given as 2.4 day's, when travelling closer, the .time was increasing and not going down the close I got, thought this was odd.
Will let you know obviously if I find anything else.
Still love the game, well done on what you all have accomplished so far.

THIS !
I have been trying everything I can think of to adjust to this change but it makes the game unplayable with a keyboard and mouse setup !
G. Sorry, just had the problem, two server drop outs in both solo on online, also client freezes on black screen so unable to close down client without going into taskbar via windows or reboot system.
Well you can turn off the music in options
Seriously though, patch 2.01 coming later today. I think it's safe to say that waiting for that patch might be advisable.
After a long list like that and especially with these new features implemented, no wonder it was a late night testing . I can imagine there's a lot of complex stuff to go through in there. Hope you guys get the day off today for that, for a good cool down.
As a fellow coder I can appreciate the hair pulling delays these problems cause lol. Sometimes you get ahead and then a load of annoying bugs show up to wreck your day.
Looking forward to getting home and having a blast on this tonight. The in system maps will be a welcome addition to the game as is exploration, been looking forward to these for some time thanks.

H. Engine Boost (TAB) not working, changed button in main menu options, still not working.
Will have a look over keyboard and see if internal keybind is not functioning, think it is the game though. Will let you know.
One the plus side after I'd rebooted, the galaxy appears to be in right position,. and local stars now appear in right area, haven't done anything system wise to affect this apart from the reboot..
These are all the same galaxy map bug, it's the galaxy map with position indicators.
