Beta 3.9.0 live stream [open play]

Beta 3.9.1 live stream [open play]

With the release of the last beta 3.9.0/1. and the full wipe, I will be striving to attain a brand new cobra mkIII. I'll be mostly trading, and perhaps doing some combat missions and bounty hunting along the way. I'll be showing the newly added menus and ships/equipment as I find them. Much seems to have changed on first observations and a few niggles, nothing too drastic found. Yes, I have been playing it a few hours already and aquired around 80,000cr.

Thanks

Thanks Shoklar, I'm at work so can't play however I work on a laptop with 2 extra screens, I had your feed on my laptop screen maximised and carried on working on the other 2 screens. It's good to get a headsup of what I can expect when I get home tonight.

I work in an open office so when others asked what it was I told them it was my active desktop,

Haha, good answer. Did any of them actually look at it?

Also, if trends stay the way they are. We can expect many players in cobra mkIII's on the first day. Not sure if trading etc will be tweeked further to lower the profit margins, which is a lot more than combat ones.

It seems to be a step in the right direction now that light cargo missions are no longer clearly superior. They are still the best method early though, pretty sure about that. I reckon I made 30K in about an hour last night. Combat missions really do need to pay more though, as do piracy etc.

Indeed, I did try some bounty hunting earlier, but the pay was meagre and the cost of ammo was far greater than the returns. Still needs a few tweeks here and there, but for stability. Awesome job, FD. This old workhorse of mine is several years old and not very good by todays standards and still runs the game well.

I got a hauler and then around 60000 credits from around 5 hours on and off today. All from trade and missions. Perhaps a little too easy. Did not try combat.

Yep quite a few people asked what it was. I'm home now, and still can't play cos it's downloading 3.9.1, taking forever (me want to play)

I left mine downloading and went to bed, got up nice and early
The wait is well worth it. It's starting to feel more and more like a release.

It can be done if you find a nice trade route, I got a cobra mkIII within a day. Naturally I had breaks etc but it is doable. Shouldn't take folks long to catch the rest of us up.

^this, combat has always been meager profits, bounty hunting seemd ok but seemed at least last beta and start of 3.0 you couldn't collect anything higher than 20k even if bounty was higher it would bug out and not pay. yet combat zones always baffled me, the ships themsevles should be where the value is derived from, if i kill a fed or eranin fighter in easy zone pay less but even those seem to vary if the whole ranking when you target them mean anything. I should not go into a combat zone kill a cobra and get the same amt as some measely fed fighter. If they fixed the bounty issue then possibly could be a way to make decent money once you get an eagle loaded up or a viper (or if your god w/ a sidey a sidey) allowing you to tackle some of the nastier pirates and actually earn the money they are worth. Sure would beat have to run boring trade routes all the time.
