Paid content? You mean the Beta testing? That's optional man, nobody is forcing you to spend money. And besides, you'll probably get it just a week later.

I don't have the full details at the moment, but beta test will not affect your commander.
Yes that will be fixed in 1.1.

Not really...they would only be replaced with:
"OMG! Why can't the rest of us test this? Will we never get the chance to get access to Beta again!? Why not even give us the option!!!"
What about for Super Cruise? It's boring having to stare at a countdown timer until it hits a certain number so you press a button. As for those saying that it's a good thing there will be no autopilot - what's wrong with a choice for having it or not? Options are never a bad thing, people.
You do know what "Closed Beta" means?
im going to post in case someone didn't already. DICE lets only bf4 players with PREMIUM to CTE and IIRC console gamers weren't invited
Pretty much that, yeah. Damned if they do, damned if they don't!
Thanks for the update, Michael, and for your continued involvement in this thread.
And what is that ?
I don't think many late Alpha/very early Betas look and play like Elite
angerous, that can't be a fair comparison. Some people have technical problems; there are (inevitably) bugs; more content is coming (as was always planned) - but the game as released was a playable product, considerably more stable than some others I have played!
Until they prove to be a bad thing, of course. I could ask for the option to change my ship for free, but I can't see that being a long-term benefit to the playability of the game. You wouldn't have to do it, of course, but you'd probably be the only one not haring about in a Fer De Lance or some other swanky boat and therefore at a severe disadvantage.
Does this mean (hopefully) that there will be an option to focus the route planner toward a specific destination in order to get that route in a matter of seconds?
Or are you just optimizing the performance of the current "plan routes to ALL THE PLACES!" algorithm, such that we'll still have to stare at the map for a minute or two before it finally gets out to where we want to go?
I'm guessing they will only be calculating the route to the destination you choose, instead of every possible route from your position.
Oh yes! A sell all button for exploration data would be great.
Talking of the slightest of tweaks.. The StarNav has been really useful. I'm looking forward to the range extension. But could you stop it from resetting back to "Economic Route"?

You don't HAVE to pay at all. Some people have asked for this F
are offering it. If you don't want to pay for Beta - don't.
