Well, I wish I had extra money, so I could buy few copies and give them away here for support. Feel free to steal the idea. :P
It's funny ... I want to do this, too. But I haven't the money to do it right now. Was thinking of buying some copies closer to release to give out as gifts, though.

This is so great!

Indeed! I'm having way too much fun lurking that thread. But not too much fun to drop by here and say that 0.34 is finally out :)

... and to embarrassedly share a haiku the other thread inspired me to write:

wintry darkness outside,
mechanical heartbeat -
nothing stirs

When you find yourself in the company of a dwarf and an ill-tempered Dragon, remember, you do not have to outrun the Dragon... just the dwarf.

Hi guys, I'm back :) Wanted to tell you about a couple of new blog posts you might find interesting.

If you've got an interest in AI, this might be worth a look. There's a video that shows what the ship AI "sees" when it's avoiding collisions. This has some gratuitous weapon descriptions that ought to appeal to your inner weapons geek, courtesy of our loremaster, Ivaylo.

Are there any topics in particular you'd like to see a blog post about? I'd love to hear your feedback!

I really would love to hear your thoughts on empires, factions, and the metagame in general. I love the base game, but I want to hear what you plan to do with the sector as a whole. How's the AI going to handle it?

Yes anything about the campaign game really. That part of the game is what has me so excited to play it! :)

Awesome read/video on the AI. Thanks for putting it together for us!

I, too, look forward to the campaign layer (and the crew system) in a big way. Hopefully we'll have a fun sandbox to play in this year. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Looks like the people have spoken :)

I'll write a post about the campaign just as soon as enough details are nailed down.

Hi guys! Wanted to tell you that we released a preview build of 0.35a last night.

It features fully-revamped command interface (as discussed in great detail here, if you're curious about the ... details), and quite a few new ships and fighters.
We've also updated all of the missions and added a Codex with all info about ships, fighters, and weapons.

Full patch notes here.

You can download it from this page.
