Shigernafy just spent time fixing up the Sirius system for beta. It now includes 3 home planets for each faction, one mod, one shipyard.
More info here
DarkSpace Beta includes a TOTAL re-vamp of ship layouts and weaponry. If you are interested in whats to come to DarkSpace in the future, download the beta installer ( here ), and run it. After install you should hit UPDATE imediatly upon entering the lobby. This should fix any problems that are encountered.
Before playing there are STRICT rules for beta, PLEASE for the sake of testing and players there READ these two pieces of information FULLY before playing. They are important and if they are not followed properly bad things could come.
Beta Testing Guide - By Drafell
DarkSpace Beta rules by Tael
Take advantage of the fact that Beta is FREE, but it is a PRIVALIDGE to play it, rights can be taken away aswell as given to us players. If too many problems appear, beta could just be made admin only.
Lastly if you want your prestige copied over PLEASE post in this thread with a simple "Requesting prestige". This makes it easier for the admins to read through quickly and see the prestige requests, NO BOOSTS IN STATS WILL BE GIVEN, a post by admins has been made several times in the thread and as such, no slight level up will be given. Stats will not be returned from Beta to Release once 1.483 has been released.
Official prestige request thread
PLEASE NOTE DARKSPACE BETA IS AN ONGOING PATCH AND AS SUCH CONTENT WILL BE CHANGED. BETA IS FOR TESTING PURPOSES AND AS SUCH DOES NOT REPRISENT THE FINAL PRODUCT. IF YOU ENCOUNTER A BUG PLEASE POST IT ON THE FORUMS, BUT CHECK BEFORE HAND IF IT HAS BEEN REPORTED AND NOTED.

I just went to play beta and no planets were available, im not gonna spend most of the map's time building and getting resources up to test a dread or a cruiser.
If you want players to test new ships etc, a mod planet should be available for each faction unless is a 24 hour map in which case we will have time to fully build it.

Most likely if you had red Mithrandirs post, you would have noticed that it was probably a server reboot or change. All you have to do is /send mithrandir "beta map has changed". It should be a metaverse map that never ends, but due to the fact this is beta the server does go down due to unknown issues, or known issues that we were not told about (ie server code was changed).

Today I saw a situation in which a new player aka "NOOB or NEWBIE" didnt know that 1.483 was being implimented in beta.
Question from noob "02:26:35 [S.W]-Baron Von Virtu [-GTN-]: "Holy hell, are they actually implimenting 1.483 stuff?""
Awnser "Yes they are, read the above info to check out beta, and what stuff is to come in the next patch"

For those of you who dont know, Some planets in beta are undergoing new graphics moding. Heres an example of what the New Earth looks like.
Head over to beta if you want to check it out.
