Post by Erik Rutins »

Hi guys,

After some discussion with Elliot and reviewing the reports so far, we've decided to make 1.0.6.0 official. There are still some issues, but it represents a huge improvement over the current official release and many customers do not upgrade until a new official release is available. We expect to release 1.0.6.0 officially later today and continue our work with the reported 1.0.6.0 issues in the next update.

Regards,

- Erik

Thx Erik, and you are right, it is a huge improvement over the current official release.  Good job on the Beta patches, I'll get the official late then [:)]

I"m assuming 1.06 beta games are compatible with 1.06 final?

No, they said that's the next patch. That's when this game will really rule. I hope the modders are ready to go. I need more weapon variety. :)

personally one of the first things i will try to do is make a race that can colonize gas giants, and possibly only gas giants, it would give massive populations but you would have to fight the other races for resources because you have to build mining stations on their worlds xD

Nice!
I'm just checking in again after a time away from the forum. I look forward to these improvements. Looks like much of what many of us wanted.
 
Thankyou.

Thanks again! Great work. I will update soon and also haven't played for a while. Looks like SC2 will have to wait for me.

Just started a new game with the new update. I really like the improvements. It plays so much differently from some version ago. Fuel and fleet management is much better. Als the interface is easier to use where you can easily asign ships to subsequent missions. Just ecountered my first opponent (rather peaceful, luckly) and have eliminated one pirate base (with my 1st fleet).
