@Cinth: Possibly a Monday patch, or possibly tomorrow.  Keith got a whole lot of stuff done today, and I hope to get a lot more done tomorrow.

@crazyroosterman: Oh cool!  Always nice to meet people from new places.

I just took a look at the new changelog and I rather like the changes quite a bit. It does change the base game a but, but it does look like it will be for the better.

Awesome stuff.  And yeah, a lot of the game is absolutely identical to before -- I mean, 90% of the mechanics are the same -- but the framework they are in just feels completely different, and much better.  Rather like the switch to more permissive placement in city limits, and how transformative that was.

Yeah, hence the week it took us to make it.  Whew, it's really hard even thinking back to the version that's currently out there now, it feels so alien to me.

Opened your save. My computer wept. Switched to the ST planet and ship icons filled my screen, so I zoomed out. Game told me that it _was_ totally zoomed out. You could seriously walk from one end of the inner grav well to the other without getting your feet cold.

Okay, that's it.

I am now installing Tidalis to kill the time ;D...

I am also SUPER excited for the new patch.  I'm perpetually in awe of how fast you guys crank out updates, by the way.

Funny enough, I picked that up during the SSS along with Civ 3/4 and all the goodies that go with for $10.  Not a bad haul for all that.
