What is your plan in beta?

What will you do? Buy the most expensive ship and equip it, and then? What are your plans?

After grinding a lot in Premium Beta I don't really want to do that again.

I think I'll try basic combat in a sidewinder to get my skills up - this is quite a skilful game that requires a lot of practice to do well.

Which types of ships do you attack with a sidewinder? Other NPC sidewinders?

Help make a better game, find and report bugs by trading, collecting bounties, doing missions, flying and docking etc.

There is nothing to do in this beta except trade with zero risk, explore which is great with the new systems or grind in the combat zones.

Until some mechanics for human interaction or some meaningful AI are added there will be no depth.

Ok thank you. I thought i would be missing something

Test it -> break it -> ticket it!

I'll be doing that eventually, preceeding that will be 'Learn it ->' !!

Anything you want... Extinguished a Cobra out earlier.

Is this gonna be a stand up fight sir, or another g bug hunt?

This, as it is the point of Beta.

Last night I got the rozzers chasing me and then hid myself in a small gap in the spokes of one of the Orbis Starports. Managed to hide there for a while before they got me. I had hoped that if they hit the station it would start attacking them, but alas no

TheDoctor · Jul 31, 2014

got the cobra today and have 200k in bank, get another 200k and then get kitted and and explore.

Darth-Simba · Jul 31, 2014

Bug hunting, trying new weapons and stuff. Get good at combat.

Speak for yourself. I'm enjoying playing with my friends a whole lot. Trade hardly seems zero risk with the NPC interdictions, and the missions are neat.

I will continue to test and try to break the game in as many ways as I can think of.

Until such time as space stations, and the 'netcode' start behaving themselves, I think making any plans in this beta are somewhat premature.

AstroCreep · Jul 31, 2014

I just made my first COIN

Saw a graphical bug but before I could snap a screenshot it disappeared

ZenSpider · Jul 31, 2014

I'm going to be tooling around doing whatever the hell I feel like. Which is kinda the opposite of a plan I guess.

What this guy said!

I'll be building up my bank and then testing as many different configurations as possible.
