Question for Alpha Testers

[Dalkeith]

Right guys.. question for you alpha testers.

Has anyone ignored the task at hand, pointed the ship in one direction and seen if you can get to the edge of the play area?

Is there one?

Not an alpha tester but i was curious and posted the same question here a little while ago. The combat area is boxed off apparently, so while you can see things in the distance (such as the planet) you can't reach them. IIRC someone said you blew up if you went beyond the box limits

Thanks Cassius - I don't have the privileges to access that area.

Any idea on how long it took to get to the limits?

Interesting to hear.

I tried leaving ship flying towards planet in the first mission, which doesn't seem to have a time limit. I got so bored I went to bed, to return to find the scenario had finished. It is supposed to be a boxed area, I'll record a session later to see what happens. Unless someone else beats me to it here.

Cool a kind of alpha exploration video.

It would be interesting if you can figure out how big the box is.

It's very big. You get booted from the mission after flying a pretty long while.

There is no edge to the play area, it just goes on and on like in the old Elite games. You just get further and further away from a point of interest (asteroids for example).

In the current alpha demo there is a box. You could reach the end of it, but it would require you to use hacks. Dev tools were used prior to launch to get to the planet, but it was glitchy graphically.

I'm just interested in modding
Besides if there is a possibility of any exploitation I would report it straight to Frontier to plug the hole
