not happy about the full wipe!

Ditto... not gonna grind up through the ships again... so time to uninstall until it's actually released!

And the ships are far more expensive by the looks of it?

That said, I wonder if income has been increased (in some areas)?

I saw someone playing it last night, and on their first flight they had to kill someone, and they got 8000CR! Never saw a reward that high before Beta 2!

Simple missions of delivery can be 3,000. I have worked up to a hauler today.

They made changes to the whole economy. They had to wipe really or it wouldn't be a proper re-test. I don't know if it's changed, but a good way to make money to start with was looting disguarded gold canisters in gold mining systems. It's risky, but you don't have much to loose in a sidewinder or hauler.

If you guys aren't happy about a wipe then why even play the beta? Don't really get the logic of that one.

 

[Kutter]

I might take the plunge with this now

 

[MoodyB]

I'd wait until the annoying / showstopping bugs from the latest beta are ironed out, or you might get the wrong impression of it at the moment.

I had in-game comms saying the server will be restarting in 5m.... Save and close!

Managed to get in after a few attempts, noticed the GFX 'seemed' to be sharpened up a notch and then had a look at the galaxy map. This still feels a bit clumsy for me, but that didn't matter 'cos I got booted from the server a couple of minutes later.

I think I'll come back tomorrow.

Crossfire seems to be buggy still with flickering etc and shouldn't be getting 40fps on 2 x 7990's on high settings at 1920x1200 really.

 

[CGrieves]

Yeah it's definitely broke. Most of the time the "Start" (online) button is red, and the couple of times I did get on I was kicked after a few minutes.

Still, the tutorials are pretty.

 

[dirtybeatfreak]

Just got in for a while and everything worked normally and wow, they have done loads!! Just hope they iron these probs out fairly quickly (which they nearly always do)

VERY excited for this

fix is on it's way shortly

 

[Showboat]

Any hints on a release date? Surely 2014 is not gonna happen

 

[dirtybeatfreak]

It will be out this year, I posted a link a few pages back where David Braben said it will be out during a speech at EGX

edit: here this one http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showpost.php?p=26966540&postcount=3766

 

[Raumarik]

It'll be out and it is one of the less buggy games in beta I've played although content wise it's still pretty limited (I'm not counting procedurally generated stuff later.)

 

[Showboat]

Ah ok, I can't start playing a beta knowing I'll need to do it all again at release.

 

[Lt_Red]

Income has masively increased at least for killing pies with the ranking system some kills gaining 5k
