22/08/2011 brings an end to Soon(TM)

that's what they want you to think.

Next video, use ships that would be used for NORMAL PLAYERS AT THE LEVEL THAT CONTENT WOULD BE DONE AT.

-No Panther in Absolution dg. Use a Spearhead.
-No UZ ships in Big Green DG. Use Rosy(+), Vulture(DS), Pax(Pax+) instead of Zebra/Lion, Panther, and Rhino.

And for a shield monkey, you don't seem to actually heal....

it's because he hasn't played SS for so long, he has to slowly remember everything.

Please I beg you, make some rewards augmenter resets, and uber missions repeatable so credits can be earned in a fashion other than colony farming!

Just wondering, the beta chars will be deleted after the beta ended?

I believe that is the plan.

Also, do those of us currently in C2 need to also register for the beta, or will be in automatically?

Will F2P lvl 20 cap be removed for the C2 Beta server?

You'll still need to go sign up for a Beta key.

There will be no level cap in the beta test.

how will names be controlled for the beta, e.g a new player uses a well known name from someone playing in c1?

Accounts are all on a unified server, so you can't make an account with a duplicate name. All the characters on beta will be wiped at the end of beta testing, so conflicts with c1 character names won't really matter.

so how do i claim my name i already have in c1 for the beta? or will i have to create a new char with a name thats not on c1. Will i simply login to the beta with my existing acc/pass and be presented with my chars as named, but all at level 0?

It sounds like we have a sort of seperate account with new, Beta-only characters. Also, will the beta be free, or do we have to be C1-subbed too?
I want to be in on the fun, but freelance work is sporadic and with it, income.

Actually, I assume it'd have to be free since you might want to draw in new people? I dunno, I'm not a game developer! Stop looking at me weird! FFFUUUUUU--

beta is free. as for your names. well, if someone steal your persona name, live with another .

your account name cant be stolen, and its what will be used to give the prices for the firsts few to reach certains lvls, skills, uber kills etc.

The keys will be distributed in the order of the signups, most likely a few hundreds/hour so well, if you signup sooner, you have less chances of having your name stolen ! .
