If you've got the time check it out. I was integiued that they are now saying that furher into the game, collisions will be fatal, there are already 200k sign ups for Beta and support for three screens.

I'm down with alot of that.

Scott and crew had already mentioned "better" ships having collisions be fatal, so I'm good there.

As for the number of beta signups....everyone and their mother signs up for betas...it's become more of a "come look at our game" then it has a "help us with xxxx" thing. It's a disturbing trend in games.....when you feel like your beta needs to be a release type game.

Plus you all signed up 58 times each I'm sure.

[Thor]

60 times, plus three squads, and the classic player invite.

I love betas. They're such pretty colors . . . and when you put a mirror next to them they puff their fins out. I just think giving out a bunch of fish to computer nerds is a strange way to promote a game.

I signed up for one anyway.

[Pyrophred]

that poor fish. I wonder how many die of neglect every year due to these sort of shenanigans

I'm not entirely certain I signed up properly... hope the classic player thing works for me

[Facetious One]

well throw me a bone if you get invited more than once... I only signed up for Beta under my Jumpgate Evolution name... and hoping I get in with MACK?!?!?!?!?
