such a narrow perspective.. the route may be planned to 1000ly, but there is nothing stopping you from checking ahead to systems along the route so as to confirm the ability to scoop or not. if not you find a jump that will and then re route.. not rocket science.. oh, actually, it kinda is lol

why not just stop this auto routing to everywhere within specific range and introduce route calculation only if there is selected target or only after you select your destination and click on "calculate route"?
that way there would be no LY limit required at all
We can agree to disagree. many of the 10's of thousands of alpha and beta's that already are in didn't have a problem with this because they wanted early access. Again you have the option to buy into a beta or to not buy into a beta.
for updates and free content
if you want early access to code you will pay for it(unless you already bought into Alpha, PBeta or Beta). If you want to wait until it is released it will be free.
Wings in march/april, no fix to stupid USS system till then?
I wonder when this placeholder is gonna get some effort put into making it a more than IQ 20 mission system. Excuse me, but the most dangerous mission the elite anaconda is a joke even with an eagle.
Why is there no workd from the devs on this. Its got the be the most boring mission system in my gaming history.

go play star trek online.. the game where everyone can beta test and noone testing gets listened too or taken notice of, this is not 'every other game' this is Elite: Dangerous. Again, if you dont like it dont do it, this is an opertunity for folks who missed out on the initial playtesting of the game to be able to get inviolved and feel part of the developement. everyone else involved paid for the privelage, so i really see no issue with this.

Thank you for the openness its refreshing to see the startings of that from Frontier, finally.
I hope that new ships etc will figure in those new updates somewhere because I am not that interested in the multiplayer stuff myself, I just want to start playing the game after two years and at the moment I just cant do that much, its just not pulling me in.
I agree with posts above about there being no need or rational for separate paid beta testing versions, the game has been released, everyone is in the same boat now. If this messing around is going to extend the whole process I would rather see it all lumped into one product. But you will no doubt do what you want to do so fair enough, just get on with it please as quickly as possible.
I think I am becoming resigned to the fact that, either way, I wont be properly playing this game for another year yet. At least its being developed though so I guess there will be a decent game to play 'eventually', whenever that day finally comes. But I can see the time coming soon when I am just going to have to shelve this game for a several months unfortunately. I am starting to wonder if I wont be playing Star Citizen before I can properly enjoy playing this game.

Good, because that would take all the challenge away.
HI, quick question , as i'm a alpha backer i should be able to test this but i can't seem to see a way of downloading /running or turning on the beta client, I've logged in to the store etc and checked the game options on lunch and ingame ?
ok i give can i have a clue
As per the OP, the process won't begin until February.

read the original post. Doesnt start until Feb
What were you reading exactly?
Thanks i missed that bit as i came to this thread re one about the slow ship routing
Michael, thanks for the info.
Is it possible to have feathure to save route after calculation, for the further usage ? It's will be enought to have up to 3-5 slots for it.
I hope that with this update, pilots will be able to manually add waypoints rather than relying on the route calculator. It would be especially useful now to add additional waypoints, rather than updating your route in the galaxy map every few jumps.
Although, if the route calculator is more powerful, perhaps it could be filtered to prefer or avoid certain classes of systems?
Ok so what i'm reading in many posts is -
'well, i was thinking of offering my, very qualified, beta testing skills, and im willing to do it for free..'
but what im actually hearing is -
'its not fair, i want to get an early look at the new shiny, but i dont want to pay for it.'
and what im thinking is -
'would you like some cheese..?
Beautiful! ED is on the way to the affirmation of his character. In 2 years time, Elte of origin, FE2 and FFE will seem to us even farther
Actually, I don't. I logged in today, expecting to make that big killing ect., (Gill's in the zone this time for sure....) only to discover, after the update, the BPC wouldn't work.
I'm sorry.
Excited!
Cant wait thank you for the heads up! I will be waiting with anticipation!
