There already is a link, in the very first post in this thread. It takes you to the most important thread in that forum.

... and people will already be aware of that forum and thread if they are currently playing the beta version.

Awesome - the faction colors are a very good idea

Is there any chance of getting the ability to force docked ships into internal storage in 3.0?

I found a Cerberus frigate doing the main story mission, and docked my scout ship to it, and now its obstructing the view when flying the Cerberus.

I looked around and didn't see any mods that dealt with this.

There's no longer a sound when scanning stations, not sure if this is a bug or a feature but I'm having a hard time finding thoes red lights to scan, although they do look cooler now

After looking at the latest XLOG video, listening to the music. Have Egosoft done anything on how the game handles music for 3.0?

Strange Bug which should be easy to replicate, i was in Nop fortune on the long highway, i dropped a resource probe whilst on the highway and it did something wierd to my map, no screenshot im afraid but it wasnt right lol, i cant remember the size of the system but after doing that probe drop this happend, system was well over 1300km, also the anomoly i used in antigone memorial dropped me in nop fortune, however after reloading a save it sent me matrix.

Don't know what happened with the probe, but as for the anomaly, where it leads is random. So a reload will almost always send you somewhere different.

Is railgun only the S-size and M-size weapon or there is a bigger or turreted version?
It's no brainer to slap this baby on Destroyer main guns and L-size turrets to have "The Expanse" style railguns (high speed, long range, high dammage, but low rate of fire and low turret tracking speed).

[chew-ie]

I really hope we get the new weapons as turret versions as well - turrets lack a bit of diversity right now. We don't even have utility turrets (ion cannons) right now

[Staja Bepon]

I'm trying to find the option for this "[Beta 4] Added option to show faction colours instead of relation colours on map." Any ideas where this feature is located?

[tomchk]

Under filters--don't recall if there's a political tab or faction tab or what.

Ahhh... Think Filter - Diplomacy is it ...thanks so much

[Stedgar]

I am stuck in my ship. Landed at Player Headquarters but can't interact with transporter control in transporter room. An suggestions?

[Alan Phipps]

@ Stedgar: I take it that it is the ship transporter that is not working rather than the PHQ transporter. Are the transporter room doors closed so you can't get through or something? What ship, and can't you otherwise leave in person?

Try these in order until you get somewhere.

1. Verify your game installation.
2. Save, quit and restart the game, reload and try again.
3. Load a save from before you landed at the PHQ and try again from there.
4. Post a bug report in the Public Beta forum along with all your game and system information and evidence as per the Sticky in that forum (and rather than in an Announcement thread ).

Good luck.

I wonder when the next iteration of the 3.0 beta will be released. There are still certain things missing which Bernd promised at the gamescon interview.
- More sectors
- more ships
- improved mission system
- more missions

All those things need testing as well! It's mid January and I have the gut feeling we're in for yet another delay.

[Alan Phipps]

@ Cyron43: I suspect that your first two points will more likely be part of the Split DLC and not so much part of the 3.0 Public Beta process.
