Absolute new questions...

I searched for a bit to find some sort of answers to my initial set of questions. Found some, didn't find some. So figured I'd start yet another thread with questions I'm sure have been answered before but could use some dusting off:

  1. The "Standard Beta" Availability note says "Coming 2014". Okay...I can live with that. Does this mean there stands a posibility that fully released game may not come till sometime in 2015? Or has Frontier said somewhere that the game will be released in 2014? FD Plan to release this year but who knows what will happen in the meantime... They have a pretty aggressive schedule so I don't see why it won't be released in time for Christmas
  2. If there is no monthly fee, how are the servers being paid for? Micro-transactions? Please tell me there is no "pay to win" feature. No monthly fee and no pay to win - these are definite (so many people in uproar about pay to win I hardly think it will happen). Micro transactions would mostly be for trimmings and prettifying etc decals, skins etc
  3. Multiple monitors. Will the game support it? I'm not talking spreading the main screen out to 2 or 3 monitors. I'm talking about 1 monitor can be the cockpit, another can be something else. This may happen in the future
  4. Will there be a "safe zone" for those of us that choose NOT to play PVP? A pvp mode much like Star Trek: The Old Republic? (you have to manually go into pvp mode.) You can play online in single player mode which means it's just you against the environment. There will be options to exclude people from your game-play experience using the Ignore function (not available yet)
  5. This is a rather odd question but would be interesting to know the answer to this. The game developers boast a galaxy of over 400 billion star systems. IMPRESSIVE!! How are 400 billion star systems named? Procedural Generation allows for naming as well as location, look, economy type etc. The best example is the original version of Elite which managed to generate 2048 individual systems in LESS than 20k of code (that's less than the contents of this post!)
  6. Will there be an in game option for talking to a group via headsets or do we rely on TeamSpeak? There will be a certain amount of in-game comms but most people will probably use external team-speak for co-operative play communication.
  7. Storyline. Will there be one? Or just a "sandbox" gameplay? There will be injected events and developments in game such as economical breakdown, takeovers, wars etc.

I think that's it, for now. Very much look forward to playing here very soon!

Take a look at the DDA Forum for loads of info on the likely direction of several of these gameplay features.

By the sounds of what was mentioned, you just won't be able to land on planets, drive stuff, hunt stuff, etc. You simply wouldn't have that capability.

I'd also imagine that based on how far into the game' life they release this DLC, you will have already established yourself as a trader, miner, bounty hunter, etc and will be looking to expand your horizons.

Well played! :smilie:

that's what I was referring to BTW.
