WhewQ: If I purchase the Digital Deluxe Item from Steam, D2D, etc. will I also receive their retailer exclusives?
A: Yes.

He showed me space battles, the quadrant map, and some away team stuff.
I'll tell the truth: it looks awesome. I really am excited to try it out.

"It begins with the selection of the career. Three are available engineering officer (can create personal shields and a support class with turrets and drones for support fire), science officer (can heal damage, versatile in combat, can create energy fields) and tactical officer (specializes in combat damage, stealth recon and squad tactics). From there it is on to species selection there are six prebuilt species with racial traits, or you can hit the unknown button and start to create your own race (either male or female). Twenty-three traits are available at the outset and these affect your overall character attributes. For example, you could take on the passive soldier trait, which increases critical hit damage and ranged weapon damage, or go with Warp Theorist, which will increase starship warp core training by +10.
Then the fun really begins. The head customization area has 15 drop-down menus that control everything from organic attachments to the overall head type. There are 32 additional sliders to control elements such as cranium slope, eye size, nose bridge height and so on. "

Is the signups and stuff over? Or is it really exclusive beta?
I don't remember there being a sign up... or I missed it.
Teknopathetic said:Nah, they stopped doing that sometime in 2008.
JWong said:Fileplanet's thing is open beta, right?
I signed up for beta long ago, so... >_>
MOTHER FFF!noisome07 said:It says closed beta on the page, haha

Sullen said:It's pretty terrible, they really need to delay it and add *alot* more.
Should see some unique characters and skill mixes out there then, much nicer then cookie cutter stuff.Caspel said:not sure if this has been detailed thoroughly before, but a colleague of mine is in beta and was able to discuss the character creation.

Here are some pulled quotes for those who don't want to traverse on over:

I believe so. A closed beta key will be good until the 12th. On the 12th the 'open beta' opens and you can then use your pre-order key to access that stage of the beta.DoctorWho said:I still think you need a beta key? Don't you?

JWong said:What? Open beta keys already gone? Thought it starts on the 12th.
You can do that? Wouldn't you be buying it immediately with steam?crimsonheadGCN said:Looks interesting from the live stream. I think I'm going to preorder it on Steam and try out the beta. If I like it then I'll keep the preorder, but if not then cancel.

Screaming_Gremlin said:I think if you contact their customer service before the game releases they can remove it from your account and refund you. More work than it is worth. If all you want to do is try the beta, preorder from Amazon. If you dislike the game you cancel the order online and never be charged. Hell, even if you like the game you can cancel and then preorder on Steam.
