It's here.
in little less than an hour the gamma release (which fixes basically all major issues- included HOTAS and rudder detection problems)
Will hit our machines.

There's a storm inside me.
I'm trying to stay calm but there's waves after waves of adrenaline...

The whole galaxy is open for exploration, all the kickstarter ships and starting points are there, up to six folks can have a vocal channel together, wings (friends fleet) are in place now, and the list goes on.

I love the world.:D

Ah...nice. I have not played since early beta. Will there be a wipe before the official release?

Almost a given that there will a wipe before release.

Standard in all MMO type games doing betas.

The Gamma is good!

Been playing for about an hour. What a polished game. The folks from Frontier have done a really nice job.

There will be another wipe before the final release, correct?

Yup, while not totally confirmed 100%, it's very likely.

Too much talk of wiping. Sounds like potty training.

I look forward to it, but not until the wipes are over. And get groups together, I probably won't do much solo.

Getting a group together is going to be a nice part of the game as it may happen we are several dozen of light-years away. :P

I'm sure they'll get it there for groups. The development of this game has been very impressive. Even if not comparing to the other main competitor.

Funny: after playing Thirdwire's "Star Vector" on my phone I've gotten the bug for an open space sim. Been reading up on ED. Looks awesome. I'll likely order it, but is there any word on when planetary landings will be implemented? Are talking months away or years here?

They're just releasing the game next month, might be a bit before the first expansion smile

If you can team up with a buddy or two or ten I think it'll be plenty fun in the meantime!

Planetary landings? Right after off-line solo play is fully implemented.

(Yeah...I was upset when they nixed off-line solo)

Heck, I just wanna see a quasar. yep

EDIT: But I guess we'll need some serious horsepower to get to one of those. :P

I'm a bit concerned with my sudden lack of enthusiasm for ED.

The scale, detail and sheer prettiness of the galaxy is unquestionably remarkable, but scratching below the surface there doesn't seem to be much happening. Maybe it's due to having started 'the grind' again for the third time recently, but I'm finding making any sort of progress is slower and more tedious than before.

Missions are repetitive without being very profitable, trading is difficult because the information required isn't available or reliable, and NPC interaction is almost entirely limited to being interdicted all the bloody time. I'll confess I haven't tried mining or much exploring, but at the moment I really can't be bothered with the drudgery of acquiring enough space dollars to even start.

I'm not aware of features due to be added between this and the release (just watching Saturday's launch presentation now), but the prospect of 400 billion star systems of 'meh' doesn't currently feel very appealing.
