Elite: Dangerous Goes "Gamma" [Nov 23, 2014, 10:02 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
A post to the
Elite: Dangerous forums announces that Elite: Dangerous has entered the final
frontier, as Frontier Developments' space combat game has left beta testing, and
has entered the gamma phase, if not the gamma quadrant (thanks Dave). This
paves the way for the game's planned official release
on December 16th, as gamma is an infrequently used
term for a release candidate. Here's word on the changes that mark the
occasion
The first gamma build will be released in a little over an hour. People will be kicked from the server shortly . Here is the change log for the build:
- Playable area no longer restricted to beta bubble
- Playable ship Python added
- Playable ship Orca added
- Kickstarter starting ships and locations added
- Freagles added
- Capital ship events added
- Fix crash following docking and accessing starport services
- Fix for multiple input devices not working - for example pedals and throttle from multiple input device controllers
- Chances for USSs increased
- Fix for cargo hatch not ejecting any cargo when malfunctioning
- Workaround for AMD white lines issue
- Check to make sure the target is this machine that this machine is ready to receive authority
- New games account for fines, bounties, and permits
- Added missing text strings for Federal and Imperial missions
- NPC Comms in Another Castle Unidentified Signal Sources should now only display the new target destination rather than listing multiple destinations
The map is a lot more useful now... Maybe it was there before, but I don't recall seeing it, on the system view of any planet you can see it's import/exports. Makes figuring out where to source goods much more accessible. Also, in a port's commodity market, you can see where they import/export goods from/to.
Still trying to find a port that sells a bigger cargo hold. The game seems to be coming together now...not knowing what to do has me exploring just to see what's around, which feels kind of right. I'm also in an area of space where fish are sacred and illegal to be used as food, though most of the missions are asking me to find fish.
