wait is confirmed there will be no wipe correct after this update?
No, there's a full wipe for gamma and probably one for release (although that isn't fully confirmed yet but seems likely).

There is a wipe with this update, and then another wipe on Saturday with the Gamma patch.
Mr. Brookes, just a suggestion.
Could the changelog be linked inside the launcher, like in many other games?
Just a cosmetical but comfortable feature, even for future updates.
Newer Players will find it with one click, instead of searching around in the Forums.
Back to topic: Awesome changes! Thanks alot!
They're called limpets in game.

So gamma credits and ships earned will stay with us into final version?
Hey Michael, I really love all the work you and Frontier are doing, keep it up!
A little off topic and I know this isn't really the right place for this but I don't suppose Frontier offer work experience? I have emailed in but your HR department said that they didn't offer it to under 18s, I was just wondering if there could ever be an exception? My school run their own health and safety policies so I don't suppose that should be a problem?
I've got one week at EA, but I would be absolutely over the moon if I could get just a day at Frontier.
EDIT: Oh and just to clarify I'm not asking this because I just want a little behind the scenes look at my favourite game, game development is genuinely my passion. I've written a few myself and am having fun at the moment playing around with Python.
I really appreciate that your busy with all this great work but if you could please let me know if this is in anyway a possibility it would be very much appreciated.
Keep me honest here, you folks out there who are much better 3d modellers than I am, but I think what's happening here is that unbaked they include actual generated geometry, so more tris for the GPU to render but baked they are reduced to normal maps and displacement maps on the lower-res geometry so do not include any extra tris.
I think a future version of the launcher should have something along these lines.
Anyway - my game has downloaded so I'll have a quick play and then head home.

To all the guys at FD - what an update list! Great work and great game.
I just upgraded and am about to hit the PLAY button!
