los pocos pilotos q vuelan en ED ahora...

Creo que te confundes en este punto. La poblacion de jugadores en Elite de manera concurrencial (es decir jugando a la vez en un momento dado) ha ido aumentando y en estos momentos esta estimada en alrededor de los 18,000 - 22,000 (Se ven entre 5,000-6,000 solo en Steam, y se estima que Steam representa apenas alrededor de entre un tercio y un cuarto de las ventas totales en estos momentos).

Esto pondria a Elite teoricamente en el top 20 de mas jugados de Steam, compitiendo en actividad concurrencial con juegos tales como War Thunder, DayZ, H1Z1 etc.

Nada mal para un juego nicho en una tematica (space sims) que lleva muerta mas de 10-15 años, y que sin embargo lleva vendidas unas 800,000 unidades.

I backed the KS at £90, but later, in April 2014, bought into the Alpha for another £115 + another £35 for the expansion pass. Will I get access to the PL beta testing?

I think so. But boy, it can look complicated.
 
It was "limited duration" during beta too, and they re-issue it, so I guess they'll do it before every release. Got mine for 50€, given the current price jump next one will probably be 300€, go figure.
 
<howls mournfully>

got to love this - thanks ^^

now where DID i put my alpha monocle

I also coughed up the $180 for lifetime pass. Only been playing for around 3 weeks but having a ton of fun. At least I had enough in paypal credit and 6 months to pay it off with no interest. Now to hope the fact I originally bought the game on steam is a smooth transition.
 
A modo Open?, me cruzo pocos ciertamente..., pero realmente, con lo grande q es ED (espacio) ahora esas madrigueras (planetas) acogerán muchos pilotos, así q si ya es difícil encontrar una buena goodfight..., pues esto lo hará un pelin más complicado, en mi humilde opinión...

Pd: ya saldrá alguno para decirme q si lo único q busco es pvp es q no he entendido nada y bla bla bla .... Xdddd
 
I bought the pass a little over a year ago, so I'm good for the coming years.
Hmm, I see that I paid €40, and that it's €175 now. I got a lucky deal there!

Me too. I took the plunge back when they first offered it and I'm glad I did as the gamble paid off.

Now I can just sit back and enjoy whatever they decide to do with the game.
 
How limited a time can we buy the lifetime pass? I'd very much like it but very much can't afford it until later in the month (constantly the case in life it seems).

I asked this in the 1st reply to this thread, 65 posts later, still no answer.

I don't know, so that's why I haven't answered. I suspect that FD might have some incentive to keep the pressure on for a bit. "Buy now while you still can!" That sort of thing.

I hope they give it a good month at least so that it can be fit into most people's financial schedules.

i want to buy it but when i do the conversion to canadian dollars i die inside, our dollar is in the toilet it seems.

Feel for you Commander, our GB Pound is unbelievably strong at the moment. It is destroying out international trade and exports, because anyone outside the UK finds our products just toooooooo expensive when converted into their own currency. If the pound does not weaken soon, then I think FD (along with my own business) is going to find trading outside of the UK a complete "no go"!
.
Fly safe! And do support FD if you can justify the cost!
 
If the game is able to keep entertaining me I'll buy all the extensions separately.

At the end of the day it means I out-supported all of you lot. And now I'm going to out-smug you guys as well. :)

You got smugged!

lol, no, yo estoy contigo, el pvp es de lo mejor, pero creo que Powerplay ha hecho que nos desperdiguemos mas aun. Pasate por l zona de Lave que parece que Code y otros se han vuelto a sus zonas originales.
 
I too have jumped on to the life time pass boat.
I missed out on the crowdfund backing, and the initial beta backing..

Only found out about this in march, waited a few weeks, did research and bought it- love it!

As a long time player of WoW i`m a bit jaded after 10 years of it, so Elite can take my cash!

Seeing as i'm like a lot of other gamers, and spend time playing other stuff as well as our favourites, i may as well say here is my cash.
And i`ll be set up for as long as you keep making stuff... If WoW had this 10 years ago i'd have saved a fortune!

Fly safe, fly FREE for LIFE!

Wait a minute what? Buying the life time pass for existing owners gets you a second copy of ED?

As I understand it, no, if you buy it from an existing account, you don't get another copy. However, it looks like you can buy it as a new player without getting the discount for being an existing player.
