Erik, I'm requesting a screen shot for the new weapons.....if you've already added them.  I would really like to drool over it.

Can I pre-order the expansion now?

Things are going in the better direction. Since we might have carriers, will we soon have motherships as well?

Please have an extensive beta.

OMG YES! This is great news! TAKE MY MONEY! [&o]

This expansion will truly make an already great game, into something incredible.

These 'phased beam' weapons sound like they might just be the much requested, solid laser like weapon that stays in one beam from the weapon to the target, YAY!

Facedrop:

I'd suggest that it is unlikely one person (the developer Elliot) alone can achieve the game balance required to result in a classic title. That could only come from thousands of hours of multi-user testing of user made mods with feedback to the modders. The modders don't have the ability to game balance, so it is unlikely that, in your words, "this expansion will truly make an already great game, into something incredible".

We're all subjective on this and while I agree that game balance is still a target for some time to come I also share Facedrop's enthusiasm....and I say this while near some unknown ale in an unknown cargobay with the emotional chip disabled so that Ed will not strech my Igardian beard.

Be careful Data in the cargo hold... I just went in looking for a little ale to top a day... and look what IGard had waiting for me...



Bount Hunters... he did not need to bring in their scum!!!

Wait a minute... look: the joint has already been cleaned out...
Data!

Mwuhahahahahahahahaha!

Erik, thanks for the teasers.

Looking forward to the expansion, and my compliments on the professional way you evolve DW and adress suggestions, without
ignoring the limitations of a small dev team and budget.

You are truly developing a gem here.

My ale! My delicious blue ale is gone!

Curse you Mr. Data!! Curse you!!!!

Wait a minute.. He was being helped by Shark7! I knew there was something fishy about him!

Now there's a face that's in need of stretching if ever I've seen one.

Man, that cargobay really gets crowded at times....romulan cloaking ftw [:)]

Difficulty setting, better diplomacy, 'spheres of contor', etc. Very neat. Really looking forward to it. By the way, in my own honest opinion, this game is already a classic. Without and errors and mistakes, pure 100% game efficiency, marvelous design and presentation, all nice but a game may still have some faults and be a classic. I love the feeling I get from playing this one. It's got character and already a special place in my hearts' gaming corner. I can't stand real time strategy games. Can't play any other RTS but this one. This is different. Very different. It is, most certainly, shaping up to be a true classic by the highest of standards, got some way to go, yes....proper game balance may still lack at certain points but cmon... its a bloody good game to play!

That is NOT Shark7... that is... I cannot believe it...
How did my last 'blind date' get into IGard's cargo bay?
And where were those Bounty Hunters Igard hired then? Hmmm?

Umm, remind me to NEVER let you set me up with a date. [:D]

Fear not, I would not inflict a blind date on my worst enemy...
