[Lortsamler]

Q: Will the list of tradeable goods be the same as in FFE or will it be much more tradeable goods?

 

[Michael Brookes]

How do you soundly trounce that BLOOMING Wave 5 in incursion to give you a decent chance over the next 5 waves... I HATES WAVE 5...

[Iain M Norman]

recently the info about the next alpha4 became a source of a complex debate here in the forum, so
my question is:

In alpha 4, how much star systems there will be to visit/explore ? (give us a number please)
or simply tell us what do you mean with 200yl of range ? cubic (a side of 200 ly) or 200 light years as radius of the circle ?

David confirmed on twitter it's 200 cubic light years.

You should not be saying that to Susan Boils

 

[nicomak]

David confirmed on twitter it's 200 cubic light years.

which is equivalent to the volume of a cube with 5.85 Ly on each sides.
though still interested on how many sytems will be included.

Q1: Will alpha 4 "volume of space" includes iota cruxis and zelada and how many stars will be there?
Q2: Will Alpha 4 bring new ships and ... if so which ones?
Q3: when will we see the dammage models we saw in early videos?

 

[Robert Maynard]

which is equivalent to a volume of a cube of 5.85 Ly on its sides.

.... or a sphere 7.25 LY in diameter....

.... or an ellipsoid 8 LY x 3 LY x 2 LY.

 

[Iain M Norman]

.... or a sphere 7.25 LY in diameter....

.... or an ellipsoid 8 LY x 3 LY x 2 LY.

DB said a cube roughly 6x6x6.

 

[nicomak]

.... or a sphere 7.25 LY in diameter....

.... or an ellipsoid 8 LY x 3 LY x 2 LY.

i suspect something more squarish though which would fit better with the sectors grid but you're absolutely right

 

[Luniticisi]

Q: Now that we know the release date of Premium Beta, can you give any indication of how much we are likely to see, content wise in B-1.0 (number of different stations/ships .... stuff)?

.............And also have you seen my red sock? ... I can't find it !"

@Mark

How long do you think that the stream will go on for?
(The answer I'm looking for is more than an hour - then I get to see some of it)

 

[Iain M Norman]

Q: Will the list of tradeable goods be the same as in FFE or will it be much more tradeable goods?

I reckon at least:

electronics
services
munitions
construction
minerals
ship ammunition
narcotics
luxurygoods
machinery
trash
medicalsupplies
industrial
vitalsupplies
illegalgoods
comestibles
slaves
agricultural
livestock

With maybe sub categories of those.

 

[Jumbik]

Hello everyone. It's my first post so excuse me that I'm asking questions already. I have found out about this game just few months ago and got interested few days back when I saw few alpha videos.

Q1: Exploring new systems. How will you prevent players from jumping to systems that are too far from core systems? Is there limited fuel? If yes, can you mine and refine a fuel from an asteroid for while exploring for example?

Q2: Survival in deep space. Can you run out of oxygen when you will stay too long in space? Or food?

Thank you.

Around 30mins- 1 hour. It will be recorded for people to watch later

/chuckle

Please remember that we will be going through single player combat scenarios when asking your questions.

Thanks

Good that it will be up later.

Kind of a Single player combat question...

In the Scenarios there are combat tests where the AI does present a bit of a challenge requiring people to "Man Up", is this level of AI expected to be through out the universe? As the Multiplayer Federal Bond AI is very low and turns in to credit farming session of following a ship spinning in a predictable way to then blow it up and take the next one on. Can we expect the AI to be more coordinated in attacks in the full game?

 

[CMDR Texas Stu]

A: Can you get through the scenarios without the backwards flying tactic?
There has been a lot of discussion over that tactic. My take is 'whatever works', care to share yours with us on this strategy?

 

[CMDR Texas Stu]

Q: Care to run through mouse sensitivity and deadzone for our new play-testers and future players please?

 

[CMDR Texas Stu]

Q: There appears to be a variety of difficulty of the NPCs in the Combat Scenarios, even more refined than the MP (although it can be seen there as well). Is this what we should expect to see? Obviously you are continuing to refine the AI. There has been talk on the forums of levels of AI resembling levels of human ability with a lower mean average towards the starter areas and becoming more of a difficult mean average as you go into more contested or anarchy space. Care to share Frontier's intentions or plans in this area of the PC vs NPC area of Elite: Dangerous for us please?
