I find you don't need to do that. It happens automatically as long as the beta files are still there.

Hmm.. I dont know if thats the case as they are located in separate folders. But then again, i have no reason to doubt this since i have always copied the beta folder over the live folder and i therefore never tested this. :)

[*] You need to remove the beta files after the beta, but it might be worth keeping the around until the full release as the files are alledgedly used instead of downloading

Not to the live server, but it gets transferred to the shadow-ban server.

You just have to behave really badly and you will get your beta stuff back.[where is it]

I miss in this FAQ the time, when it's available...

And another question: Can we keep all the stuff we achieved in Beta in the main game (I hope there is a "transfer all" button)?
(I guess this question was never asked before, so I think this should be cleared) [big grin]

Did you deliver 1000 t of FUJIN-Tea to the Frontier Develovment Engineers in their station on PHIPOEA HJ-D C27-2283?
This was the prerequisite to get the BETA option in Launcher.
