[Ian Skippy]

Actually, managed to get to my computer to try it... And YAY!!! That was it. Awesome.

Cool, enjoy!

I'm disappointed with The Orrery... it definitely doesn't look like this:

Given the stellar systems size, non-scale realistic planet faces are MUST!

yep -_-!

there is at least space for some hope in future improvements to make it look like that ? sigh

There needs to be a third view, "Combined", which is orrery positioning, but with the "increased scale" of the standard/original view.

Was waiting to watch the stream today. I never watch them normally, because the couple of times I tried, in previous years, there was just so much incidental blah blah blah that I got fed up. The first two streams for Chapter 4, however, were excellent. Minimal blah and maximum good info - I'm glad I decided to have another look.

However, tonights stream went straight back to so much blah blah that I binned it after a few minutes. Such a shame - I'll have to learn the new stuff elsewhere (again).

So are these beta "stages" cumulative, or does each of the aforementioned stages replace the one before it?

Cumulative, I understand.

 

[timoteo]

Thanks, Winterwalker. Was hoping so, but didn't know if they needed to limit it to specific things each week for testing conditions/purposes.

Sooo….when do we get the new planetary surfaces? There were concept sketches when Beyond was announced and it was supposed to arrive with update 4.

Right now the surfaces of planets haven´t changed at all...is this still coming?

Me too, the planets do look significantly better with the improved lighting.

I just realized that "week two" doesn't necessarily mean that Beta 2 will start today - even if this assumption suggested itself.

So, do we have any announcements, is something known about the actual start of the next phase?
Or is it today and nobody makes a fuzz about it?

 

[John Xenir]

My question exactly, it's been awfully silent for a supposedly starting second week of beta-testing...

 

[Factabulous]

In yesterdays livestream Ed would only commit to 'this week', so ... this week.

 

[FraggleRock]

An end to the "Awful silence"!

Tomorrow 10am

Down now, and scheduled to be up at 15:00 (UTC) (when this post is 3 hrs 40 minutes old!

Nice job, including the Risian Corvette - I mean Mamba, in the game.

 

[Factabulous]

Sooo, no word on when the beta drops this week? I guess that means Tuesday as originally stated ...

We are expecting beta milestones to go live on the Tuesday of each week. However, we will update you in the News and Announcement forums as each update is made available.
