Beta 3 question

starhawkprime · Feb 10, 2018

Are there any estimates when 3 will go live? I intend to play again once it does.

Now begins the long, boring wait for the 3.0 release. Motivation to play is hitting bottom.

Since there has been no official ETA, nope.

Ok then, I guess its back to Empyrion for a while. Maybe I can build a federal corvette in that game before the patch goes live. lol!

You could always gather materials for engineering while you wait?

I'm in no hurry for it. I'm on the far side of Sag A* and won't be back to the bubble for quite a while. I am looking forward to the end of the beige planets, but in general, I think the update has a good many improvements and I look forward to making use of them.

Not when your mat storage is full

Ah but is it full of grade 5 materials that can easily be traded down with a mats trader in 3.0?

MEF was for example much harder to come by in the Beta than in 2.4 live game...

It's rumoured that could be released in two weeks

I'm sure I'll get something thrown at me for saying this, but I hope it actually is two weeks (or more if needed). They had quite a lot of stuff left to fix. I'd rather not have the more serious bugs slip thru into live.

Absolutely agree with that. I think they should take 2 weeks and fix all the stuff that was reported. And then enter ANOTHER 2 weeks beta period and only go live if no major bugs turn up.

I'm excited for the material storage changes, I like gathering them just don't like the balancing act I end up doing.

Why not make use of this window to collect G5 mats and/or run placeholder G5 mods?

In the last newsletter, Frontier says :

"The beta for Beyond — Chapter One was closed this week ! Please stay tuned for more information about the launch."

I think that we'll get of news, enough quickly now

My guess is a week, or at least end of month the latest.

I went back into the normal game to reposition my Cutter, and signed out. The Beta experiences was just significantly better than the normal game. So I will wait.

Feb 29th.

Oh! Isn't it a leap year?

Personally I didnt experience any major bugs, or anything beyond what 2.4 already has. I'd rather they go to 3.0 ASAP and then fix it because at the end of the day 3.0 fixes way more than whatever bugs are introduced. Just my 2c of course.
