Patch Notes Update Gamma Released

[Steve50]

Possible dumb question.

Do our kickstarter ships/money get reset when we get the final wipe for release or are they a strictly one-use thing?

 

[Mack Winston]

David Braben said that gamma will mostly be about stability and bugs, not about features. .... Broken netcode, multiplayer is a joke,

Surely broken netcode and "multiplayer is a joke" would come under "bugfixes" not "new features"?

 

[chris79ita]

Michael, two questions that will surely make everyone happy:

1) These are all the features added in gamma build?
2) There will be more, important news/features December 16th?

Thanks

Congrats FD

and good luck with the deployment of Gamma

 

[Jedra7609]

didnt they say there wont be a wipe after gamma?? we wont get a headstart as beta backers?

Although not definite, there will probably be a wipe after Gamma. There are a number of threads on this in the beta discussions I think.

 

[Devilizer]

Ooh, where to start, where to start...

I knew I'd have this problem. Start at Lave system with a basic Cobra Mk III, like classic Elite? Or founder's world? Or on the edge of explored space with a long range version of the Cobra Mk III? Or start in an anarchic Frontier system with a stolen but upgraded Cobra Mk III? Or start in a Federal border system with a basic Cobra Mk III loaded with cargo? Or start in an Imperial Colony with an Imperial Eagle Mk II Fighter with upgraded weapons and shields?

Aaaagh, we need separate profiles! I wanna start in all the locations specified in the Kickstarter campaign!

Why not just use offli... oh nevermind

 

[Kramster]

My apologies - I forgot to mention that the Freagles are also available in the nearest starport to where your start location is.

Michael

Thank you

I simply have no right to be this excited at the age of 55.

I'm actually shellshocked kinda. I was hoping for another feature release today. I don't know what to say. Broken netcode, multiplayer is a joke, solo is a grind, and many features still absent.

No, just no. This will not be well received. And since we're getting wiped I'm not even going to bother until launch. There's nothing new to do anyway.

Ask for your money back then and quit. Quite frankly sick of the negativity, why does everyone have this sense of entitlement?

 

[Twix166]

The race to Sol is about to begin...

Yes! Sol on a shoestring budget! Towels to the ready!

 

[Nightstorm]

It'll be out within the hour.

Michael

Will access be opened up for the rest of us backers at that time? Still showing "Coming 2014" on my store page... Excited!

Coop and multiplayer gameplay features, dude. Essential for an MMO.

 

[Michael Brookes]

I presume you will get to choose again when they wipe for release?

You can choose whenever you start a new commander - so if you wipe your save you get to choose again. And yes if there is a full wipe you would get the same choice.

@Michael: whats the time frame for development and implementation of multiplayer and gameplay content?

 

[Kharax]

answered a few pages back. you'll need a new client, not launcher

What you are meaning with Ill need a new client?

 

[rich_hard1]

Huge Congratulations to the FD Team. All the work and effort they have achieved upto now has been absolutely incredible. Let's hope Gamma through to Gold goes smoothly. Well done guys! Great Job!

 

[TheDude1972]

Wow this early already! Didn't expect that which only makes it better

Thanks FD, can't wait for the twitch feed tonight... I just hope I don't forget to stop playing




edit: some of us definitely need an ingame notification of the show start

 

[Pulse]

it needs to be a bit more apparent that the free eagles will be available at the nearest starport. I imagine quite a few people will log on and not even realise!

also maybe putting something about wipe situation on the launcher or start of the game would be helpful

At 55 can you afford to be that excited?
