Not looking good. the beta appears to be a patching beta. From everything i have read and seen, including the interviews the game will be gold while beta is in progress and then the patch released when the game is released to fix identified bugs, as is the norm with all MMO's nowadays and should not be the standard.

The next thing i dislike about this is the on the rails flying (more eve type flight) to gain subs there may appear a need to dumb flight down but come on, a big goose egg. It does look like they tried to add some weapon physics but not nearly enough.
