All I can say is WOW :eek: I am loving this update, graphic enhancements, the mission board, the outfitting, ATC around stations, and the AI NPC's are brutal well the Anaconda I met last night anyhow first attack run it took down my Anacondas A6 shield with 2 A rated shield boosters and proceeded to interdict me no less than 4 time left me with 7% hull, sweaty palms, and a huge sigh of relief on getting back to Rushmore Station. Well done all at FD thank you for the love and commitment to this epic project and may it just keep on getting better and better, keep it up folks, I just wish I was 20 years younger, I'm hooked for life :D

I thought the former Horizons beta subscribers had already stopped paying. They paid once for all Horizons betas. They aren't required to pay again.

Sure. I was talking hypothetically about any future releases they may give non-lifetime subscribers the option to buy. I expect if you didn't buy lifetime there will be other chargeable betas in the future; if not, the lifetime subscribers were robbed.

The feedback and data they will get through the current people who have access is already more than they probably can handle. More people doesn't mean better testing. The bottleneck is the amount of devs, not the amount of players. The exception would be if they wanted to do server load tests, but at this point they should have a pretty good feel for that anyway.

A very good point Tinman. 1000's of people reporting a bug will not help the same number of developers a great deal more than 100 people. They need the manpower to fix the problem. It may only speed up the process a little, because more location-specific bugs will be found due to how far and wide the testers are spread. Arguably these issues are less of a problem to the player unless you're a mega-explorer!

OK, has anyone solved the mystery of the engineers beta2.1 not being available in the launcher. I´ve already sent a ticket to frontier. but i´d like to hear of some of you guys, if you managed to get it running. I played the beta yesterday, but today it´s gone :-(

Hi Adam. Any news as to when they will be fixing the way in which commanders gain reputation with engineers? According to the picture in this link:

http://hosting.zaonce.net/elite/new.../c0d1da44489b82728292ed64b447f04daa90487a.jpg

the implication is that gaining reputation is via missions. However, in all the beta test videos I've looked at so far, it seems to be entirely driven by getting lower classes of upgrades done. There's a lot of angst in the discussion threads about this :(.

Have you scrolled down? (Just checking! ;))

There is a problem since this morning where some players are unable to see the 2.1 beta in their launcher (even if they were successfully playing it yesterday). This has been reported by many people already and support are aware of it.

There was an announcement in game that they'd be taken down at (I think) 13:00 GMT. I'm guessing they're still down from that maintenance.

EDIT: Up again now.

Question:
I can see and download the 2.1 Beta in my launcher. I haven't bought the Horizons Beta though. (I have the base game beta, so I can officially test 1.6).

Is that a bug or is the beta now open to all?

Edit:
Now it's gone again. Nevermind. :)

You also need to upgrade to the new launcher from the Frontier store to see the new beta option,
its in a list at the bottom - you need to scroll down as said before its approx 5th option on the list.

Thanks for that.. The launcher update is automatically advised so that has been updated.

The game is looking AWESOME and is much more immersive. Yikes the interdiction's with more powerful ships are .. well blowing me away. Expecting the network fix to stop the crash to desktop's i am experiencing.
