No, we haven’t gone back in time, but those who had access to the Elite Dangerous beta at the time will be the first to try out some of the new features, such as Wings, that is, the cooperative mode.
At Frontier Developments they are extremely satisfied with the launch of Elite Dangerous last December, and from what we have been able to test and what our foreros comment, they have no shortage of reasons for it, since it has been a launch without serious errors or serious problems on the servers (the launch of Battlefield 4 comes to mind, precisely because of the opposite). It also seems that sales have been going pretty well and Frontier is already working on improving and expanding the game, in fact the development staff has increased this month and very soon the expected functionality of the Wings will arrive, which will facilitate cooperative play.
To ensure that this functionality reaches all players in the best possible state, Frontier is going to launch it first in beta form, so that players who bought access to the beta at the time will be the first to enjoy it, and although there is still no specific date, everything indicates that it will be very soon.
