The spirit of his question regarded the time when the 'beta' would become final. However, the whole point of having a beta test is so that you can hunt down and remove bugs...not every bug readily appears to the testers and developers. The beta version must be coaxed into revealing it's weaknesses....so that it can be put to the fires of Codeforce's forge and be remade anew! It's glory undimmed and made known.... as a....final revision update.

Do you hear that!? That horn in the distance!? That is ehsumrell1 and his war-band on the hunt!! Helmets and armor gleaming in the digital sun!

Issues

Massively gargantuan overpowered 1st tier bombarding weapons that wipes out homeworld population with a few frigates in 5 mins.Bombarding colonies should be substantially slowed down.

Not enough emigration from Homeworlds.This causes both massive importance to homeworld defence for the A.I which a Human player with always exploit no matter how well defended, and new colonies never grow to any reasonable size even late game so homeworld pops should help fill them out better.

Mining base exploit.Build a mine in a empires systen and sell for huge moneys.

I'm also finding I could fund my empire entirely by selling/trading technology for credits to my allies. I'm paying alot of expenses for my state economy, and am doing ok with private sector profit, but i'm always loosing money so need to sell some technology for money to stay afloat.

It makes sence to sell technology for credits, but it doesn't seem balanced to be getting 100,000 credits for some very small easily obtainable technology.

It feels like i should get less money for the equivent value in technology.
