I am betting on the first week in April. Some think sooner but in the last dev stream they were playing with the next release and it seemed very unstable. Maybe a piece of cake for the devs but it looked spooky to me.

19th of march is beta release ? Sounds good 6 more days to keeping me alive without galciv ....

Whats QA ? Sry for the dumb question ^^

Hmm one more:

I am doing a new race by modding atm. I want them to have a special Star System what XMLS do i Need for this? Faction ,Planet, StarSystem... For sure, but whats with star ?

THx ^^

What's the first race you are all going to make? I may call mine Beta 5 as a tribute

I also cannot wait. I have held off playing another game till the map size improved, and with the hopeful improvements in AI it should make for an all around better experience, not to mention I can get working on custom races , like Beta 5. However, always better it gets more testing than not.
