Mercenary Edition Extras now available to download!

For once, they are working the right way around and giving it to the Kickstarter backers first (and not several weeks later than the general population - as was the case with the Elite: Legacy book, for example).

Fair comment, I suppose I'm just being a tad impatient being a 'space themed soundtrack' fan :)
 
The screen savers and audio theme are fairly good thanks, but the rest is pretty awful, although I'm sure you don't need me to tell you that. The ring/msg tones are the biggest disappointment for me.

It's the game I'm interested in and I'm still having fun, but after waiting this long from launch I think most people were perhaps expecting a little more effort would have gone into the packs.

Hi guys,

Just a quick note to let you know I'm looking in to this for you. Grabbed a couple of your details to chase you up individually. Hopefully that will shed some light on the issue - I'll get back to you with an answer on it ASAP.

EDIT - everyone should have what they need now. There was a little hiccup but that was sorted about an hour ago. Thanks for your patience!

Edward,

Will the art book be made available to purchase from the store at a later date?
 
sooo... Am I the only one getting a fully black screen whenever I try to run any of the screensavers?
And I noticed the screensavers' .scr processes remain in the task manager every time I try to run any of them

They are not screenshots, they are screensavers. Your Windows system should ask for your permission to install them when you double click on them. Try to see if the request is hidden behind some window.

Woops my bad, I meant screensavers, not screenshots.
I do get the install windows and they appear in the screensaver selection tool, but whenever I try to preview or let one run it just gives me a constant black screen
 
Slightly off OP but where is "free access to one of 5 new ship designs" that came with a purchase of the Beta? I'm not seeing it anywhere.

Thats was 'free access when they're released'. 'They' meaning those five ships, not the game. We're at 15 ships now, 2 more next patch, so when ships 25-30 arrive you'll get one of those.

*correction, actual quote was "free access for Beta and Alpha backers to one of the 5 new ships that David announced in his piece above when it’s released!"
Very poorly worded, but you can un-tangle that sentence to mean 'getting one particular ship when it's done'.

Slightly disappointed that the "installable" extras are for Windows only, I was hoping for a sweet elite dangerous screen saver on my Mac. Maybe (probably not since it was never promised) they will be updated for Mac after the Mac client is released.

I know I can just have a photo screen saver with the screenshots, but it's just not quite the same.

Wait wait wait...

So if I dont get some crappi iPhone (just calling and texting is enough waste of my time, thank you, and if I want to be in Facebook or read e-mails I use my laptop/computer), I wont get new music to improve my ED experience?

Backed for Alpha in KS.
 
I cant use the ringtones in that crazy format. Complaint!

Rename the file extensions from .m4r to .m4a. Android and windows does understand .m4a.

If you still have issues with this, get VLC from VideoLAN.org, it's free, and you can convert .m4a to .mp3.
