The AI is significantly improved (especially in Diplomacy and Fleet Handling) and there is now a separate Difficulty Slider.

With all the new features, will there be a corresponding jump in CPU performance retired?

I'm interested in the performance in Legends too. Hopefully the CPU load won't jump too much.

Have they started beta testing yet?
Or
Are they in-house testing?

I think we're due a bit of news. Seems as though things are moving alot slower than expected.

Personally, I've no problem with that. I think they should take as much time as they need.

Yap, better take the time to avoid the bugs beforehand than to fix them after the release.

I agree with both of you; I was just curious.
I want them to do it right.

But for a change, I am actually excited about the release... [8D]

We concur; Less bugs, less rant, more awesome. Still, more news and screenshots would be great for the shakes.

Sorry guys, a family health crisis kept me away from the computer for most of this week.

We are going to post an announcement, a product page and some new screenshots in the next few days, most likely on Sunday or Monday. I'll post some more preview information in the forum next week as well.

Regards,

Erik,

Take care of the family... life is to short to trade it to produce a computer game.
I will pray for this over the weekend... God go with you!
Be well!

Hope all is well with you and your family, Erik.

Looking forward to that product page!

So, I think this means beta testing was held in-house and the release will be soon?[&:]

Feedback is enough for now, family comes before anything else. And I agree with TJ, Ash, you're making our collective exterminator jobs harder [:)]

That's all I wanted to hear, Erik. Thanks! And take care. Gaming is important part of my life, but relatives and friends still come first.

And about that stupid Atuuk:
