A TV ad for a Beta?

I guess we'll wait to see if/when this is broadcast.

at 0:16, station camping. Blowing-up a ship near the landing pad.
It's in the advertisement, so does this set the precedent that station camping and spawn killing is an advertised feature of this game, now?

Not a bad trailer but I didn't like the music used and thought could have used some more exciting footage. Perhaps I'm being too picky.

Try shooting at someone inside a station other than Freeport and report back

You wot mate? Elite games have allowed players to attack ships outside space stations since 1984 and on pads since 1993

Why is this called a TV spot? Do we know of plans to do TV advertising with it?

I'll do like the video shows, use a free Sidewinder. Over and over and over again.

Make a contest, who can make the best 30 sec TV spot

Not a bad idea. I think putting together something so short has its challenges and advantages.

Good idea, but hard for us to do because we don't have 3rd person camera ability.

Since it's called a TV spot, the answer seems straightforward.

 

[Trickster63]

Anyone else notice the option of having mines as weapons?

 

[Ian Phillips]

That is not station camping, thats an assasination.

 

[KickahasTier]

Anyone else notice the option of having mines as weapons?

Yes, and about time too!
