Kudos to the community management team!

[Jason S]

Yes I would like to say thanks as well, it is really good to hear what is coming up.

 

[Jacob Marshall]

hard work is getting up at 5 and making a 2 hour jouney to a construction site where you carry hods up and down a ladder all day......

Ladder? Pffft spoilt you are, in my day couldn't afford ladders; had to jump.

Yup, Zac and the mini-Zacs do a very good job

EDIT: LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE!

You just proved the filter is context sensitive. It won't apply to dates themselves, only if they occur after the words "The beta begins on the". So, of to the next testing round, I'd say

I saw last week's live stream and I felt very uncomfortable when Ed read a question, and he went completely silent for a few seconds while reading it. He ends up saying something like "No, definitely not that one".
The community team must be seeing both fantastic and horrendous stuff. I want to say thank you to all of you. I remember you stayed for a very long time when we had the exploration bug, reporting everything new as it came up. So thank you for your devotion and passion.

I also want to say thank you to the moderators!

Official announcement from Zac.

The beta date has already been set

Smarty pants.

 

[Barking_Mad]

What everyone else said. Streams are great as there's a really nice natural feel to them. Can we get some of those unseen cave dwelling programmers in front of camera? They do some really good unseen work that bolts all this game together and they need some love, and a shave

I do COBOL.....

 

[Winterwalker]

Off topic; WHEN's the Horizons' Beta due, did you say?
Oh? David Braben will be announcing during Q&A tonight, did I say?

Agreed! Big up respect to all those concerned in managing the madhouse!
I'd also add my thanks to the actual community, high spirited and very entertaining.
Cheers!

Zac had to hold off those few extra hours!! Beta dates just got confirmed in streams.

1.5 beta coming next week sometime. Horizons beta sometime week of 24th. Dependant on development running smoothly obviously.

Edit: Tinman, you were correct, the censor is a lie and there is cake for all!

Edit Edit: Also big props for the new microphones as of today. Much better than before. Well done! <- Apart from the phone buzz, always room for improvement right

As usual, I am late to the party....

That said, I totally agree with the OP, things are so MUCH better on the communication front!

Well done to Zac and the team (even Ed!)!!!

I for one really appreciate it!

I have been around since late kickstarter, and there is so much more content to be communicated now!

And communicated well!

I was hit by the explorer data bug and I really appreciate the efforts of everyone at FD to fix it!

Keep up the good work!

PS, I am SO happy the Beta dates have been published!

The Q&A with David last night was the best yet, although my question with 11 votes was not answered (sob!).

Thanks again to you all!

Thanks buddy, what was the question you wanted answered? Will see if we can sneak it into a Answers from the devs thread.

Hi Zac,

You're welcome!

I cannot access the questions now to give you the exact text, but it was the one about adding the missing Dwarf Planets and Moons to the Solar System, ie Ceres, Sedna, Eris, Makemake etc.

I would love to see Kuiper Belt Objects and Scattered Disk Objects in the game, as well as some Jovian and Neptunian Trojans.

Obviously, you cannot add every small object and asteroid, but some asteroids and dwarf planets are very big, Eris is the size of Pluto after all!

If you could add the question, that would be great!

Thanks again for all your hard work!
