Number of lives... just like was always originally wanted. A spinning 3d model and 3 lives.
Wow Mobius. Thanks! They've scaled the game back a bit though, right?..
Experience what most of the Alpha backers are seeing with alpha 3.0 right here.
well that looks a little bit too polished for an alpha to me
however, that alpha (when working) is a blast. just got my first few kill & collects in e&c incl some bounty. then sold the stuff on the black market and saved my game
a few k's towards that cobra earned To me, this shows why providing artificial deadlines is bad. They promised mid March for Alpha 3, and they released it mid March with some annoying known issues (as stated in the feature log) and what seems to be a fair amount of bugs.
So now the people who have been complaining about FD not committing to any hard date are happy, but the people who want a playable alpha are less than happy.
Personally, I would hope that this would serve as a lesson for the people complaining about delays. I'm a premium Beta backer and I can hardly wait until I can get my hands on the game, but I'd rather wait longer and play a beta that is mostly bug free and can be used as a way for FD to balance the game and polish the general experience.

yeah that's what i get as well, can't go any further AND i can't delete the screen eather. I have to get to my taskbar and restart my computer....
So does this mean we have to delete the launcher and game an redownload and install everything all over again?

It's easier to get into scenarios when everyone else is in bed, though it's still not totally reliable. I'm stuck in endless war, endlessly, because I can't hyperspace back to the station.
Hyperspacing back to the station is pretty much just telling the game "hey, can I please see the spinning sidewinder and lose all of my credits please"
I'm wondering the exact same thing; I was about to submit a support ticket and I figured I'd check here first. It's too bad, but it's nice to see that i'm not the only one having this issue. Can anyone tell us what to do/what the current workaround for this is (if one exists)?
thanks guys!
