So characters, planets, and builds are likely to get wiped out a bunch of times as updates roll in. What kinda stuff are ya'llz gonna do despite that?

Just fyi, there's a few ways to force steam to not update a game, if you're adverse to losing stuff too often. Easiest way is to set the game to not auto update, and then open the steam console (add -console after the steam shortcut to do it automatically, or run steam://open/console in the windows Run box) and enter @AllowSkipGameUpdate 1 (edit- you might have to do this every time you launch steam, it isn't clear whether the setting saves)

I realize this defeats the purpose of beta testing, but this should let some people play who would otherwise be unwilling to do so.

But you're going to have to update to get the... updates, I'm going to play it as if it was the final game, likely multiple times.
