NEWS NEWS NEWS!
72 hour map on beta now.
Shipyards on each side
60 updateded ships
Get on there now, help us test the things and file bug reports (please look for other bugs before posting yours as the most obvious ones are already being worked on).
You HAVE to read the beta guide first. There are some rules
DO NOT ATTACK ENGINEERS, engineers do not attack people.
Do NOT cap planets (important).
If you want your release side prestige, PLEASE post in the OFFICIAL prestige request side so that the forums arnt swamped with requests.
Planets have near infinate resources right now, so get on whilst you can and have some fun.
As a final note, the speeds ARE broken, but thats because the new drives arnt implimnented.

Guys - do this. Just tried beta again after a month+ off from it. To be honest, before, it was a (Yawn) event. Nothing really different - same ships but slower.
Now, I'm getting it. Enough of the code changes - combined with getting to jump into a 15 ship engagement - have hit that I can see the game feel that this is going to and I like it.
The game seems to be changing to a capital ship environment. Huge warships plodding along because that's what huge ships do. There's still quite a few bugs, and it's obvious there will be quite a bit of tweaking, but once it's all done, the new game isn't going to feel/play anything at all like the old.

I think the beta could well be classified as the next game in the DarkSpace series, with the many improvements in designs and the way it plays. It's a little like comparing Diablo and Diablo II. It's the same game concept, but with many layers of improvements added.
