There wont really be anything tangible to yarr, they are releasing elements, not full game in an alpha state like, for example, Prison Architect. If there is anything to release, I could try I gues, but I doubt it will be worth anything to anyone.
That looks really interesting, though it's just a 1v1 module for now yes?
There seem to be a few missions or scenarios people can play. I am in the beta myself. Alpha was just a lil too expensive for my taste. Got this youtube link from the elite forums.
Wow this looks pretty polished for an alpha. The sound design is also top notch. I am pleasantly surprised.
I am so glad proper space sims seem to be making a come-back. I wouldn't mind a Freespace 3 either, but Star Citizen might fill that gap. Although SC is starting to give me a bad vibe. So much focus on publicity, so little actual content.
Great news. Newtonian flight... I thought they would go only fly-by-wire.
I like the cockpit. I sense already an Elite feeling in the ship control. I also like the engine sounds.
So far so good.
40 euro ( and no alpha-beta included) for a game that only made 2 millions... That doesn't seem right. The videos are really good but I don't think they should ask for AAA money on a mid budget game.

Then you should have bought it earlier. I only paid 20$.
When? Even the kickstarter started with £20 for the digital copy. Dont confuse £ (british pound) with € (euro)
Oh yeah thats my bad. I seemed to remember i paid 20$, but it was 20£.
Still not even close to 40 EUR though.
Edit: which i find fair. It should be an advantage to back the game using kickstarter. A lot of poeple on this forum didnt believe the game would ever be developent, and opted not to back it. Thats fine, but then if you want it now. Pay the price
Or pirate it.
So far, the only thing that really sticks out is that you have to turn and move the nose up/down to go in a new direction even with a mouse. Why can't we move it left/right? Looks very uncomfortable. This makes aiming a pain in the ass.
It's the very same thing that makes flying in Planetside 2 pretty much unplayable for a rookie.
Other than that, it looks/sounds amazing, the lighting on the engines and shield are gorgeous, the weapons and the engine sound great, etc. Fix the controls, add what one would expect from an Elite game and it will be a worthy successor.

you can strafe left and right, rolling is just how it used to be in classic elite. you can configure the controls how u want.
