    Any Beta Testers Out There?

    I've been scanning both Apolyton and IG forums and haven't seen much input from beta testers anymore. I would like to give them a chance to be heard. I was wondering:

    1. What is your opinion of the finished product?
    2. How does it compare to the beta copies you have tested?
    3. What are some of the bugs in the beta that have been giving you the most grief?

    Thank-you...

      Yeah... they have sorta disappeared of late

      and there are even those of us who are REALLY loving this game now that we've FINALLY overcome the initial frustration at trying to surmount the learning cliff

        Well the best thing i can say about the testers are, the game is bug free.

        unless you count the AI.

          I dispute the bug free. There is an obvious bug with naming ship classes. The inability to just type when the name hits max length is silly.

              I've found a couple of things in ship combat that I perceive as bugs, but they may be features I don't fully understand yet. Other than that, a remarkably stable and bug free game. No slowdowns even after 20 hours of constant play.
              To doubt everything or to believe everything are two equally convenient solutions; both dispense with the necessity of reflection.

                I saw a beta tester respond to some of the complaints over at IGMOO, he said that not all issues reported were dealt with. Interpret that as you wish.

                At least the game is stable and the only game-killing is due to AI.

                  OK, then, here's another feature. As you can see from a couple of my threads, I am having difficulty invading planets. Some suggestions were made to me and I tried them, but discovered no rhyme or reason as to why sometimes I would get the option to land troops, and sometimes not.

                    There are definite bugs in the game. Thruster space on ships gets goofy and can't be changed back without scrapping the design. Also, after doing some calculations, the research bar in the economics tab turns orange at the wrong value even though the final calculation still works right.

                    There are some other things I've seen that may be features or grant money being hidden from the player, but other bugs are definitely there that other people have found.

                      yes, other than the engine not working the car runs fine.

                        I disagree strongly. I've had many problems that have affected gameplay to the point that at times makes the game unplayable. QS needs to patch this quickly.
