It offers to open the Patches page when you exit.
Odd. Mine just displays a page that gives you the option to go to the website, forums or patch page (or naturally, exit). This it does regardless of wether there is a patch or not.

Yeah, that's what it does.. kinda counter-intuitive, you would not think "exit" leads you to the patch-page. Especially since that assumes people use exit.. and not ALT + F4 ;P

So anyway.. how is the beta progression this far? Anything major that changed?

I took the plunge and got into the beta a while ago and have been enjoying it a lot so far.

I posted this on the Soldak forum and thought some of you would find it amusing as well:

It's out officially now.

I haven't played it since very early in the beta, so it will be interesting to see how much has changed.

Oh, I've missed pretty much all the updates since the Bounty Hunter update. Waiting for it to get to Steam now ^^

Well you might be waiting a while, but hopefully not.  It took Steam something like 2 years to accept Din's Curse (Soldak's other big game).

It may have been slowness, or they may simply have been unwilling to offer him a distribution agreement for the game.  DC is one of the better games I've played but their internal evaluation teams may have been put off by the graphics or something like that.

That said, with DoP and DC on steam already and probably having done not-terribly in terms of revenue (at least compared to a lot of the other stuff that's been getting on steam; I think their business model works more by keeping per-title costs down rather than requiring high per-title revenue) and Drox having a lot less of the potential put-offs (at least graphically) ... yea, it seems likely that it'll happen.  When, is another matter, but I hope it's soon because it's an awesome game that more people need to play ;)

I wanted to pull the Shadow into my alliance, and I saw they were willing to send a gift to one of the races in my alliance so I delivered it hoping to help relations somewhat.

Turns out it was weapons for a rebellion, and it immediately caused civil unrest.

I then moved my ship and ran into a nearby mine, I survived but some ship offering a contract was caught in the blast and destroyed. As soon as that ship was destroyed, the civil unrest immediately turned into civil war.
"WTF DID I JUST DO???!!!"   :P


This game is fun.  :D

It's a lot better than it was when I first played it.  The multiple victory conditions (and loss conditions) for sectors and the race-specific slots for the player ship are two big examples.  There's also more insight into the quasi-4X side of things though it's still obviously in the background.  The weapon balance is way better (lasers vs ballistics vs missiles all have compelling pros and cons).

All in all I don't think anyone who really didn't like it before would like it now, but it's a substantially better game now.  I've had a fair bit of fun with it :)
