Infos to upcoming patch Alpha 2.3

[AstroSam]

[information on...about...my bad, sorry]

I'm just watching a german vid wherein its reported that RSI is currently testing NOT patch release 2.2.3 but 2.3! Rumors say, that RSI is polishing the Starfarer and Reliant (hangar ready) AND that first NPC-experiences eventually could been tested with this release. Furtheron, RSI seems to work hard on the balancing regarding the individual ship speeds including varying QD-speeds.
I think this can be very interesting with an eye to choices like "am I buying a Freelancer MAX or Connie Taurus" or the like.

Generally, not only these two guys of this tube channel are expressing their impression that RSI has piled the pressure on the development teams. It seems to me, that the time of "cozy ship designing" is over - I'd like to say: finally. Time passes on, the technical state of the art two years ago is not state of the art today anymore.o_O

Your right they are testing 2.3.
Its confirmed last week from the QA team.

My wallet will be crying as I planned on upgrading to the Gemini and SEN. Guess they'll both be ready-ish.

I may melt the shit out of my Connie and purchase that Beerfarer.

I will never give away my Connie Aquila. Such a cute, tiny princess of a ship - I'm not even sure if I will ever release her to the open space or if I will store her MIB :D

I'm melting and testing multiple ships. I'll eventually end up with my Carrack, but until then, I'll play with the melt/unmelt functions.

Interesting. I think once Squadron 42 comes out perhaps we will see a increase in the PU/Ship development as some of those folks switch over and stop working on SQ42. I imagine there are quite a few ships and other things that have been developed for SQ42 that we haven't seen yet (like a whole bunch of Vanduul ships, the Lightning, etc.) I know they are planning 3 add-ons to SQ42 but who knows if the entire team will be kept just to finish up some add-on missions.

Why don't they finish one class first? Like all connies(taurus aquila and so on)


I wanna fly my taurus D:

I can imagine, from strategic point of view, that they intend to broaden/expand the diversity of the ship classes as fast as possible - together with a most early release of the planned PU, putting together the different parts of the game etc., before they later on are going to finish and release the different type of ships within the classes. But, as I said, thats just a suggestion.

Melting my cutlass to upgrade to a Starfarer. Gotta have that money machine in my fleet! Then i can focus on shifting all my pirate skills/taunts to accomodate my Jolly Connie! "Ahoy land-lubbers! Grab ye ankles and prepare for some missile lovin'!"
