Anything hinted in Beyond Trailer that we haven't seen in Beta?
- Thread starter Lightspeed
- Start date
Similar thing happened to me when Thargoid EMP hited me at the exact second when I jumped to SC.
That thing from the trailer is the wormhole used by Thargoid mother-ships (Thargoid wake)
Trailer:
I have several "horny" pictures like that one to the right from different wakes.

Or perhaps, it is just unusual coloured rocks?
Space jewelry!
More crazy billionaire riddles?
I believe we've encountered the middle of this conversation.
Those were the days.. When Red Dwarf was funny..
That green 'thing' looks Alien, for sure, but as Cosmo has pointed out, it's marked as a stellar phenomenon. Odd that it has so many circular shapes.
The trailer showed a Mamba doing exploration stuff to showcase the exploration updates, then it showed a Mamba doing mining stuff to showcase the mining updates, then it showed a Mamba meeting up with a dozen or so other ships in order to showcase the new "squadrons" stuff.
If the game ever manages to put me into an instance with a dozen other players for some group activity (which, presumably, might put me up against another dozen opposing players) I will be very, very, impressed.
Frankly, I don't believe that'll be possible.

You should have done some of the alien storyline - there was often something like that that number of players around. I think some of the exploration trips had even more.
Conversely, seeing half a dozen CMDRs in the same instance at a CG is a rare event.
We'll see,
Yup, I was thinking supernova and/or planetary nebula.
Oops. Duplicate.

well, doing the exploration and the mining stuff one after another is semi realistic.
even doing it in a mamba is realistic when restricting yourself to just blowing up an asteroid (with a medium module in a large hardpoint..)
but then meeting up with that combat-gimped ship with a squadron for a coordinated activity... hmm, THAT sounds rather unrealistic.
I am sure, that you don't need to be in a wing to be able to be grouped with your squad-mates in the same instance (FDEV surely has tweaked the matchmaking algorithm to take that into account)
but with the vastly different jump distances hat all the displayed ships have.. moving around a squadron is probably such a pain...
Check Distant Worlds expedition. They've managed something like 50 commanders in an instance.
"So what is it?"
You mean, you don't know? [wacky]
Yeah and, as I already said, I've also seen plenty of very popular CGs where it wasn't possible to instance with more than half a dozen ships.
And then there's the Gnosis, which allegedly had 11,000 CMDRs in one place at the same time, and where I saw a grand total of two CMDRs in an instance with me (one of whom tried to blow up my ship, but I digress).
Presumably, FDev will twiddle the matchmaking code so that squadron-mates will be instanced together so I guess we'll see how that goes.
Funny thing is, I doubt members of opposing squadrons will be linked in any way which might help them instance together.
Be funny if we end up with one squadron of 12 intent on battling with another squadron of 12 but one squadron's in one instance while the other squadron's stuck in a different instance.
Maybe opposing squadron members will have to put each other in their friend-list so they can instance together? [blah]
