Elite Dangerous: Beyond - Chapter One Beta Announcement

[Barking_Mad]

Planets will be back to 2.1 colors fixing the beige-fication...

Actually,

Frontier will be making some sizeable changes to both the colours and details of the planets in the game by “revisiting the shaders and graphs” that produce the procedurally created planets. This will bring out some of the ‘contrast and details that already exist within the system’ and give the planets a more ‘rich detailed look’ with a ‘wider variety of colour variations’.

Dumb question time: the OP mentions PC & MAC... Surely nothing has changed for native MAC OSX shaders/open GL - so have to assume beyond won't work on MAC OSX, but just good old booty camp...?

There are a lot of changes to the core game you can test on mac.

Does the change in exploring mean, we will be getting a list of all the star systems we have visted before since the start of the game or will it just list the systems we just explored as first discovery and add the systems we visit now?

Do you mean in the general sense or do you mean for Q1? Aside from the planetary visual improvements, there are no other changes coming in the Q1 update in regards to exploring.
