Hi everyone!

I'm new to this game and have only played a couple of hours but I'm really liking what I've seen so far! =)

In the recent newsletter it says that the Premium Beta 2 update will be released tomorrow (yay!) but at what time during the day do you think it will be released? Have the previous updates to the game followed any pattern time wise?

Welcome to the forum.

Can be anytime during the day (UK time) a few have been early evening though. FD will announce it when it's ready.
 
Is it smart to sell the Ship Equipment before the "reset" or is it also covered in the sense of a payout ?

Thanks for any note

Edit.: just found another thread with that discussion, sorry

Thanks for the quick replies! Sounds like there is hope for being able to fly around some new systems tomorrow evening then! =)
 
wonder if they are going to push it out to the Alpha testers first then to the premium Beta after everything appears ok.
 
I think we can start to wait around 12 - 14 UK time, however alphas will get build first to check if there's showstoppers - like game doesn't run at all, or just 10% of the time, etc. Most likely everyone will get PB2 at the end of working day, around 17/5PM UK time.
 
I'd rule out any time earlier than 9am, and say it's pretty unlikely to be before lunch time. If it's all ready to go, I'd say most likely sometime after lunch and before the end of normal office hours. If there's last minute snags or something we have known it to be nearly 9pm for a release.
 
One thing I'm noticing - I know in the newsletter it was announced that a reset had to happen during the move from PB1 to PB2, but commanders would be compensated with credits totaling what they had in the bank, and what their gear was worth.

Am currently in a Cobra, kitted out with all sorts of goodies, plus a little under 400k in my account. But checking the stats (on the main menu, after selecting multiplayer, you can see your stats in terms of players killed, times killed, etc.) and it's showing around 85,000 credits under the "credits earned" field. Is that stat only reporting credits earned through bounties?
 
I'm a software product manager in real life and I would release the beta in the morning of the dev's and support working day.

That way if anything blows up you already have all hands on deck.

If they go for a release close to 'home time' maybe I should apply the the product managers role?

:D
 
I just opened the launcher, and it's patching. But I haven't played in a week or two, so if there's been another patch in that time, that's probably it.
Probably not going to have time to play tonight either way, though. :(

It was an installer update to reflect server-side upgrades.
 
In general the novelties are released in mid-afternoon or early evening. There will probably a overload of servers for the downloads ...
