I should be able to get a stream up at some point this week, I'm thinking possibly Thursday or Friday night, I'll have a buddy flying with me for funsies.
I'll show some of the single player missions as well as the multiplayer
If there's something in particular you want to see, make a list!
I'll do a Beta launch stream for the 29th as well if people are interested, there will be chuffin' loads to see then!!
@Seeka, yeah dude, walk around ships, walking around starports/stations and interacting with others, boarding other people's vessels, and landing on planets are all on the DLC roadmap.
As for how it will work, they made (and subsequently canned due to publisher issues i hear) a 3rd person shooter type of game ( i forget the name but it actually looked a lot like watchdogs from the footage i saw earlier), the engine is more than capable of doing it, also the planets will be procedurally generatedso there will be plenty to see!
Not very fond of the whole DLC thing. Announcing DLC before a game even reaches beta is sort of outrageous.
I do like the procedurally generated space though.
Can't even buy it anymore. What was the difference between that and the normal beta for 60€?

I just put it in my cart. The premium beta can still be bought. Just not after today.

Just realised but its cheaper to buy the game and the lifetime expansion pack by $50. So for the premium Beta is another $50 just to play it now. I don't think its worth that much. $100 is already pushing it. Opinions on that?
Okay buying the premium beta now is utterly pointless. Premium beta ends in a couple of days anyways and the normal beta + hurr durr DLC is 20 euros less
/edit
Fuck it, bought it.
I am a cheap fuck, so i paid in dollars instead of euros, saved me 8 euros.
All you UK guys, you can save even more in dollars. 12 quid.

with regards DLC, they're just saying what will come and how they intend to expand it from launch. They are just putting that into packs, it's not like map packs, or game modes, it's full on extra content. I don't see any harm in paying for that, especially when it got me loads of game time and i get all the future content for that price.
*shrug* guess it's worth what you make it really.

Heh, should be alright
You might need to submit it's VendorID to the team on the forums though as it might not be recognised by the game straight off.

From what I've seen it's all mouse/keyboard favoured as their yaw-rate is basically the same as pitch, Elite is very much a stick fighter, in that it's roll and pitch fighting instead of yaw (as mentioned before, much light in-atmosphere jets). It might not be super nutonian, but it 'feels' better if you ask me

i stopped playing the premium beta a few months ago. it was so bloody good it was taking over my life! also, i didn't want to get all "Elited out" before the final release : )
with a decent HOTAS (warthog if you can push to it), pedals, track ir and voice attack it really is an amazing game, even in pre-beta. it's been worth every single penny i put up on the kickstarter.

Do you mean Newtonian?
i really want this
Buy it? The multiplayer beta starts on the 29th, would be nice to have an OC3D squadron going.
I just started wondering how to find anyone with there being about 66x more stars than people on this planet.
