I would be happy to try the other races.

But I'd rather most of the bugs be sorted out first. Having been involved in the beta for Sins, then entrenchment, then diplomacy and now rebellion, I'm happy with the way they work and trust they will get something out worth testing.

If the TEC are locked out when we test the Advent, I'd be happy with that, and the same with Vasari. Afterall its not a published game yet and I get to tinker with things that won't be in the final game.

I'm a little disappointed I missed the multiple titan exploit, would have been interesting playing with that. Though I did do the spam of corvettes and see them take out many enemy ships (including themselves most of the time) and some of these things won't make it into the game but a cool to try out.

So thanks to the dev's for letting us play while they work. We'd all like you to hurry up, but that only because the game is so much fun

Keenly (and as patiently as possible) waiting on the next update.

@ OP

The beta is to help the developers improve the game.  I will wait expectantly for each faction to be individually pitted against each other so that the racial battles will be balanced.  Endure with patience, it will take a while.

I think Yarlen said somewhere else that the reason the beta is restricted is that people who pre-order have an interest in providing valid feedback.  I guess they were worried about trolls saying "OMG the corvettes are so OP and and I can hardly hear them when they are built so please make their construction dialogue louder and more high-pitched".

They aren't just interested in the quantity of testers, but also the quality.

True and it makes me feel bad. I'm lousy at spotting bugs.

Well I've always thought it feels wonky if I lose a game. But I should probably not report that. Not to Stardock anyway.

Hm. Maybe I can use this to chat up a sexy psychotherapist?
