    If your definition of "release" is 1000 people looking at it on a test server then I respect your opinion but my opinion differs.  Also, just to clarify, I dislike Mr. Smart and his tactics which can easily be seen in my posting history.  It is odd that they announce 2.0 being tested but show no actual live gameplay.
    I got quite a different impression.

    It feels to me majority is ready - with a global release imminent. Similar to the planetside module release, where they invited select members to test it and then released a couple days later. Granted, there is more features and bugs here, but the global release should not be far away at all (weeks).

    If they weren't ready (it was months away), they would phrase things very differently I assume. Much like they did over the past few months.

    I honestly hope you are right.

    Alpha 2.0 mini-PTU   is here now.

    First 1000 players (the most active from the playtesting feedback forum) have access to Alpha 2.0 mini-PTU starting today.  They do the stress-testing, after the 22 QA employees of CIG have done their tasks. I guess we will see the first Youtube videos from players soon.

    CIG plans to add more and more players every week, going for greater and greater stress tests.

    Core FPS functionality is in place (thats FPS fighting for you ... so people can start shooting each other :-)

    The first two multi-crew ships are available ... Constellation and Retaliator.

    There will be 22 different random encounters.

    3 space stations.

    Lots of com satellites to defend and repair.

    Respawn is much faster on the Crusader map. Permadeath switched off for now. Port Olisar is the (re)spawn point. You get a new testing ship quickly ... and no, you cannot keep those testing ships for the Persistent Universe.




    Have fun

    Great info.  This has be excited again.  Erillion.  I know you catch a lot of crap on these forums.  I think it might be your signature. .  . I sometimes read your responses and then see "Have fun"  to the person you are infuriating it might seem like a sarcastic stick in the eye :)

    Wa min God! Se æx on min heafod is!

    I do too. Guess we will see soon.

    I'm thinking if it wasn't ready, they wouldn't say "We are releasing today.". The statement would be more along the lines of "We are working on a couple of last things, it is coming very soon." 

    Usually when they said something is released, it actually means they are in an active process of rolling it out.

    Here is about 5 min of Alpha 2.0 gameplay


    and a feature list:

    *8 Combat Missions

    *8 Research Missions

    *1 Exploration Mission

    *20+ Random Encounters

    *Ongoing security battle asteroid belt

    *Wreckage to scavenge asteroid belt

    *12-16 ships at once (with many more players)

    *Shipping Hub (assuming NPC traffic?)

    *Crusader location: 3 Moons, Asteroid belt, 3 stations

    *1 PVP Security Post - You can get more weapons here and take them with you anywhere, PVP is not limited to here, only restricted in green zone (Port Olisar)

    *Port Olisar is a green zone, meaning weapons will not work here.

    *A Pistol that everyone spawns with. (Weapons can be recharged - assuming this means energy weapons)

    *Flyable Retaliators, Constellations, Avenger Variants, hanger ready Vanguard

    *Vanguard and Freelancer next flyable multi-crew ships

    *New ships include eWar (Avenger Warlock variant)

    *9 Repair Stations (yes, you can repair your own ship!)

    *EVA is working again! (Ctrl-F)

    *Ships now use fuel and can (need) refuel.

    If you think this game doesnt have features and isnt hard into development, go watch someone stream it. The game is on track, and its looking good, its still pre-alpha, no other game that looked this good pre-alpha would get this much shit if it wasnt SC. 
  • laseritlaserit Member LegendaryPosts: 7,591
    Looks awesome

    When it comes to SC, I'm just hoping for a great game. Can't wait to try V2 it will show me if my $60 was well spent, and I believe it will.

    I don't wish for any game to fail

    Stop calling it pre-alpha. It is not pre-alpha.

    You seem very angry...does it just burn your britches that you and people like Derek Smart were wrong?   SQ42 will release and so will the PU.   They'll both be exceptional games.

    You seem very confused.... does it turn your britches that I and many like me couldn't care less about Derek Smart or his ramblings? SQ42 will probably release and so will the PU. They may be exceptional games or they may be complete flops. I am not a fortune teller.

    Then why are you on this forums? Isn't it for MMO's? I also see SC isn't going to be an MMO. Still don't understand why this game is even on the forums. Actually SWTOR, LOTRO, ESO, and even EQ 1 and 2 will be more fun to play than anything SC will have and that is only if the game ever does launch.

    Good point. I think you should probably start a thread asking why Non-MMO games are showcased on MMORPG.com.

    and an interview with Chris Roberts specifically about Squadron 42, pro/con of crowdfunding and some tips for Uwe Boll.

    Uwe Boll is a German director, producer and screenwriter based in Canada, whose work includes several films adapted from video games.
