Just upgraded to Premium Beta

rsksmiles · Apr 12, 2014

Cost me 80 euros but I figure it was worth it to get at the all time greatest space game!!

First impressions: Wow I do like a game where I can just plugin a joystick and with minimal learning get out there and play! Awesome.

Welcome to the Premium Beta. This is a great way of ensuring you've got the right set up before the full Premium Beta arrives, though most things seem to be working right out of the box.

Phos.

Hi,

Had signed up to Premium Beta a while ago so good to be able to get in and see how things work

Think that realeasing the single player version early was a good idea by Frontier as gives us a chance to practice before going live.

One thing I have noticed though is that when I lock a target it is not showing up in the left hologram, it is always showing the world. I have managed to complete the first two missions so have had a lock on the targets, but makes it hard to see what damage you are doing, has anyone else noticed this?

Hello,

Can you explain to me, how exactly you upgraded? Did you have to cancel your normal pre-order first? Or did it automatically apply the discount? Because when I try to just order the premium beta, it doesn't show me the discount.

From past posts on this subject, I think the discount only appears at the final step. I can't be certain though, because I've never done it myself.

I went all the way till I was redirected to the PayPal site and asked to pay 120 €, so it doesn't seem as if they applied the discount of my existing normal beta access.

It currently doesn't apply the discount for alpha upgrade either...

I logged in ... selected the premium beta ... added it to the cart ... went to check out and the next step automagically took into account my previous payment.

Did mine this morning (sat 12/04) and it worked fine. The discount was applied before going to paypal.
