ANNOUNCEMENT Fleet Carriers Update - BETA BLOWOUT

[Krash]

Consider yourself lucky you have that option. My last docking place as of April 30 was Explorer’s Anchorage.

I learned recently the trick with this "suicide" is when you reject the rebuy, they put you back in the starter system. I haven't tested this myself, ofc

I don't envy Dav looking at the servers when this kicks off.

I guess you could say that stable servers is ... ahem ... Dav's Hope?

We hope that you all get a chance to jump into the Beta over the weekend and show us what you can do with your very own Fleet Carrier!​

What's the point? For most players the final FC will be too expensive or tedious to own. It can be useful to see how people use a FC and if the servers can handle it.

Well played sir. Well played.

Guide - Testing Guidelines

Greetings Commanders, Thank you to all the returning Commanders who have joined us in the previous Beta, and to all of those who are joining for the first time. Below, we've provided a number of guidelines to help you understand what we'd like from feedback around Fleet Carriers. If you...

Kudos for running this an extra day fdevs. ..And as for me I wouldn't mind paying only 1 to 3 Billion for a fleet carrier in June. But five bil is too much! (I have 5.3 Billion mind you)

The deluxe fleet carrier should cost maybe 5 billion. Right now, it's the bare bones version which seems to be overpriced.

Send me your bank details and I will initiate the transfer.

Never bank details, by internet.

I was kinda hoping some of the bugs we reported the previous week were fixed in the update to Beta 2.

I am not opposed to the FC, but given the expense of the vessel, services and fuel, I will probably not purchase one because I mostly play the game individually. FC are great for private groups as a sort of club house off the beaten path.

Now seriously speaking, this is proof why maintenance exists, the server can't handle that much traffic.

A colour Tandy? Luxury!

Yes, I did consider that option, but for certain reasons I decided I want to have that particular ship on board of the FC when I can finally afford it courtesy of the blowout, so…

… nothing to report, I actually did fly all the way back to the bubble a couple of days ago.

I'm north of SagA can I still get a carrier to try?.

Sure. Self destruct...you'll be back in the bubble in no time.

Do you get your money back out of Beta?

 

[IPFreely]

Why are players accepting the premise to PAY to participate in a Beta test in the 1st place? - Even with the reduction of price in the "pay to test" beta, I will NOT be participating - Not only for having to pay for the beta test - The Fleet Carriers do not have anything useful to my playstyle - All the aspects of the Fleet Carrier are not conducive to any player, - The price - The bundling of modules- So many aspects of this beta are just wrong for most player usage.

The graveyard's about to become the boneyard. lol. I boast about them because I want my own to try and yes, I will be trying one out. As for the June update idk yet.

No, what happens in beta, stays in beta.
