Spoiler interesting things in the 2.3 beta files:

Vette gets a kit (we already kinda knew that)

FDL gets a kit too

Turreted mining lasers for multicrew

Lots of nameplate variants

New bobbleheads, including Patreus and Winters. Aisling next or riot. Icarus one shouldn't be selected; it's not new (it's the dashboard throphy from here)

Generation ships are in, 10 variants

Megaships seem to have interactive parts

Thargoid capitals?

New scenario types (scenarios are used for USS and some missions, for e.g. when you drop in and see a wreckage and Rescue One near it)

This is a repost from the subreddit.

Update, found proof of the alien base:

There are folders for the Raider ship kits for the Asp, Cobra MkII and Python. I.e. the spiky ones from the unknown trailer.

The turreted mining lasers have been known about from live streams for a while now.

And I'm not 100% certain but I thought those bobblehead folders had been there for sometime. Could be wrong though.

you felt necessarily ''forced'' to open this thread ?
exactly, what's its purpose ?

thank for ruining me the (sadly few) things that this game has to surprise me.

While I'm no fan of peeking at the game files/folders, the OP did put a big spoiler tag in the post title, you knew what you were getting into.

As spoilers go, i don't think anything here is anywhere near as gamebreaking as people posting the system/planet and coordinates of the Thargoid base from the trailer before anyone has had chance to discover it "properly".

It has spoiler in the title. Which then goes on to say in the "2.3 beta files".... What were you expecting?

Although, I do agree as in the files should be better hidden.

Were the turret mining lasers not in the beta? I'm very interested in whether I can use those without a multi-crew partner.

They were. They were included before Multi Crew was introduced, which rendered them near pointless. As you just set them to forward fire only.

I never saw anything else about them after Multi Crew got added.

You may not collect information from the Game? Is there any more explanation of that, or is it banning every one of us with a spreadsheet?! It can't possibly mean anything so draconian, and is probably more about trying to reverse engineer the source code.

Reading file names is not the same as doing memory rips.

I guess if the files are just there visible and you do not need to unpack anything then yes.
If you unpack anything then you broke the EULA.

Indeed.

But all those ship size comparison videos you see used some sort of harvesting. Frontier don't seem too bothered by them even though they do break the EULA, wary maybe. I think their bigger concern would be if you used models, audio, etc in another game or video you could profit from.

I remember from one of the Beta updates that an Independent Fighter was added to Alliance and Independent systems. Haven't played the Beta in a long time and no point really at this time to check it out. I'll just wait for the patch.

The independent fighter is just the Taipan I think.
