Counting modding the JSON files and playing the beta after I decoupled it from Steam after HBS tried to shut it down?

I think my safe guess would have to be 700+ hours.

Sanctioned beta only? 500+ hours.

Just over 200 hours according to Steam.

Plus all the hours that I have played since the beta has stopped.

I guess I'm the real slacker I only logged about 20 hours but I'm really much more excited by the Campaign and story and without the repairs etc. I found the Beta to be fun while playing it but the lack of the continuing consequences kept me from just jumping in a lot. Found it to be what I was expecting and some more and it made me even more excited for the finished game:)

I don't recall the number, but I had over 500 hours on the Steam beta.

I've still been playing the beta since (off-steam) to likely over 800ish total.

You call 20 hours slacking? I only have 8...
I only played enough to confirm that the battle gameplay was indeed good. I have little interest in endless skirmish simulations or multiplayer, my interest is 100% in that campaign.

I'm in the same boat.
It's just that I played around most of that time with various visual/sensor ranges, heat values, gunnery/piloting values and similar stuff to see what worked best for me (you know, have to know what I'll have to mod for that campaign :) ) .

Same. I mean, the combat is fun for sure. But I don't like online MP for the most part, and didn't want to burn myself out before the campaign.

i also didn't play any mp games. just tried different lances, explored the given parts of the maps an their moods and stuff like that. its kind of scary that i dumped that number of hours in this relativly small part of the game but a major sign of how much fun it is. i'm afrait that number of hours will increase exponetially when the whole imersion of background and plot will be involved.

300h Official Beta time and 77h post Beta. My DumpBox folder has 1,671 folders indicating I started the game that many times. A good number of those are loading failures from learning how to mod things.

243 Hours, most of that in multiplayer. Very much looking forwards to release, don't even know if I'll play the single player campaign until a few weeks after release. This amuses me as I backed the kickstarter with completely the opposite intent.
