Unofficial Officlal 2.6 "Is it here yet" thread - It's on Public Beta!

[RoverTX]

Any plans for station logical overview UI improvement?
I'd really like to know what is total production/consumption for each reasource/product on the station.

This would be an amazing feature. Save me a lot of excel work.

Also separate production chain GUI and economic graphs to two separate tabs - there is no benefit in having them together but the detriment is that both of them are too small (especially production chain GUI).

is it going to be this week, maybe even soon?

[CBJ]

Well I've been compiling the changelog, so we must be getting close.

Minutes ago:
On Discord: "I don't think it will be weeks (for 2.6)".
CBJ: "Compiling changelog, we must be close".

I wonder if they are throwing darts and if someone hits bulleye it gets released. CBJ is definitly the optimistic one

[mr.WHO]

Hmm, assuming they release beta somewhere this week the 2.6 would probably be released somewhere early October. Adding the time for 3.0 and DLC betatesting it's safe bet that 3.0 will be released early December and Split DLC somewhere before Christmas.

[Buzz2005]

I think 3.0 and the DLC will be released at the same time

This sounds right, although I can't remember if they did open DLC betas for X:R DLCs. That would be limited to people that already own the DLC, I expect. Thus, would most people get to use the 3.0 beta well before the DLC releases?

[Buzz2005]

DLC is just assets and sectors etc... so they can put 3.0 beta before the DLC

But even assets and sectors have to be tested though. Regardless, Im sure they do test it, but not in the public test environment.

I think Egosoft mentioned several times, that DLC will b e released "shortly" after 3.0.

At least we know 2.6 is coming very soon (sounds like this week). I'm honestly concerned about an upset player base right now. I really hope 2.6 satisfies a lot of people and drives sales for the DLC (I already bought that) so Egosoft gets more funding and a better reputation, which I think they deserve.

The steam depots have gone from a few private betas' in the last week, to a nightly build 3 hours ago (at time of writing) ..

Haha I was just looking at those myself.

[Tamina]

Yeah but isn't "nightly", like, "totally experimental, just patched together over night". Updates to private beta sound more promising.

Oh sorry, was me... pea soup... you now?
Oh again, please no fire and no sparks.

[linolafett]

We are working on it...

If you're wanting a definitive time for when 2.6 drops, ask Egosoft's pizza delivery guy. He's in their office more than any staff member, wheelbarrowing in a endless stream of double pepperonis.
