The second beta was delayed many times due to new ship issues. Not all of them were fixed. The Liberty Transport (Mammoth) and Corsair Cruiser still have model and skin issues. However, they are available for purchase and testing, since I hope that their creators will be able to fix everything before the next beta release.
A lot of testing is necessary for all the new ships listed in changelog below. Hardpoints, lights, infocards... if you purchase one, check everything.
The 2nd beta, like the 1st one, will run only on the PvP server. RP server will still run the 4.83 final version.

The patrols in Omicron Eta had to be removed. All of them. Crashed the server for some weird reason, and the only change I implemented is rotating Palermo base at 180 degrees. Patrol weirdness, again.
Also, I've heard that people on RP server were buying name change certificates because of the NCC price increase in new version. Therefore I've reverted NCC price back to 2 million. Guess that announcing price increases before they are implemented for RP server is a bad idea.
Many minor fixes were not described in the changelog.
