I presume you will get to choose again when they wipe for release?
No, that can get messy, always wipe after release .. it's safer.
But really looking forward to seeing what I can get up to in Gamma, thanks FD .. you have delivered a fantastic base for the start of your E: D journey .. a lot of people (myself included) have probably expected a bit too much for gamma/release, in terms of content amongst other things, considering how far you have come in such a short space of time I really believe that you have a great game on your hands now and for the future so, here's to the future of Elite: Dangerous .. I sure it will be a great ride !
