And there is one important questions which every player wants to know. Will there be a wipe at the end of Gamma phase? Earlier there was an information that there will be no wipe. But that is not true anymore or rather it is not known yet. 

Michale Brooks said on the official forum that:

Contrary to what I've said before there may be a wipe for launch. This is being discussed here at the moment and would be due to code and galaxy changes between now and the end of gamma. I'll post when a decision has been made.

It's a pity for all of you who wanted to make some wealth before all other players come to the game and be far, far away in the galaxy. We can just hope that there will be no major issues and the wipe will not be needed.

For now you can watch at least few videos from Beta 3.9 and check Orca and Python. They are lovely.

Or just watch another first look from Beta 3.9.
