FYI: I made a request, here is the response

Just a quick FYI incase anyone else, like me, has limited time to try the beta.

I sent a support ticket in asking if it was possible to have mats etc maxed out for beta access to allow quick engineering etc but sadly the response was a no

Thank you for getting in touch with us at Frontier,

Unfortunately, this is not a service we are able to provide, this is due to the background simulation (even in the Beta) being linked to all of the events that occur in the game including the collection of resources!

I’m sorry I am unable to assist further in regards to this matter, however, if you have any further questions please do not hesitate to ask and we will do our absolute utmost to get you a swift reply! :)

Was worth asking but I guess that will be me not messing around much in beta anymore.

It seems stupid to me that beta testing is still linked to the background simulation of live.

Read again, thats not what they said.

They said mats are being linked to the backgroud sim, even in Beta. Apparently there are changes in the background sim, and they want to test that as well. Handing out mats would spoil that test.

That's fair enough if they are tweaking that side of things aswell, didn't see anything mentioned in patch notes about it though.

But not all commanders need to test the same things, IMO.. having some testing how you get the materials and some what you do after you get them is better considering there is a testing time limit.

The answer is interesting.. so are they taking metrics on how people choses the materials from the mission rewards? I clearly fail to see the point, I could ignore the mission board completely. Some of the materials you get from rocks, are rocks affecting the BGS too?

That is why I stopped beta. Not going to grind just to do their testing for free.

This is why I asked, I simply don't have time to grind for this stuff during beta but I do want to engineer the new ships and test things with them.
Now I wont be doing it.

**EDIT**

It also raises the old question of why can't you buy mats from a trading post/market etc, but we know the answer to that, don't we......

Seems like they could, perhaps, pick a crash site and then set that up so it provides heaps of mat's and data in the beta.

That way, they could just exclude it from any stat's they were collating from the rest of the beta.

I had a heap of mat's when I started playing with the beta.
Now they're all gone (in beta) I'm done playing with engineering related stuff.
No loss to me.

Last time I checked (a few days ago), I had the choice on Cmdr-reset in beta to get a ship with all materials and data maxed out. Only one engineer unlocked however.

What is the point of only 1 engineer?
Surely if this is available then it makes more sense to have full access?
