BETA 1.0 "Awesome beyond words"!

I don't want to burst into a thousand words or an emotional out-pouring that would curdle space milk, but I did want to say thanks to all at Frontier.

For your attention to detail, foresight & efforts to deliver last night ~ Elite Dangerous BETA 1.0 is a credit to you all and I'm absolutely blown away by so many of the new features and polished refinements, I could! go on all day :cool:

No, I hear some cry ;) so I won't, but sincere congratulations FD! You nailed it...
 
I absolutely concur. I'm in since PRemium Beta, but I've never felt so amazed by an ED release.

Despite the rocky start, within an hour of the completed update I was completely (positively) lost in space...

I utterly fail to express my gratitude.
*thumbs up*
 
Seconded. Well, thirded.

I spent less than two hours flying around before work today, and the new stuff I saw blew me away.

Fantastic work, FD.
 
I bought the Standard Beta on the 28th, after lurking around here for some while. Enjoyed the Single player combat scenarios, but was blown away (Not literally thankfully) by how good the release last night was. The game, even in its current state, is fantastic. Immersive, polished, and looking amazing for the future.
 
Awesome yes!

Hard to get money - Yes!

I'm really struggling trying to make cash. I made 400cr bounty once, but my trading has failed - always selling at a loss. With all the fuel costs, it seems hard to build up a decent amount of cash. The next ship upgrade seems sooooooo far away. :eek:

Not to rub it in but I have found it very very easy to make credits now.

Have you tried doing any of the missions? The courier missions are easy and give you lots of credits. There are also combat missions, some are bugged it seems. For trading I have been following the same rules as in PB, buy an item that is high in supply at one station, Resource extraction site (would be ore), take that to a processing site. Make sure what you are buying is cheaper than the global market prices. The new trade routes in the map work, with the very limited use I put it to. Anyway good luck. At least the ship prices are much much lower.

OT:

This beta changed the whole feel of the game, graphics are better, some how the FD made the sound better (it was already a 10 out of 10, don't know how they notched it up to a 12). Fuel system is great and adds a much needed limiting factor to the game, being completely free is nice, but constants really make you play (but FD need to add lots of information on how the fuel system works, like how does the cargo I purchase limit my jump distance). Backgrounds are amazing looking. Anyway love it, well done FD.
