    Just a reminder: Currently, everyone has access to all commanders. You will not have permanent access to all of them once we have systems in place for that. Never fear, we will continue to have quite a few commanders to select from!

    There is a known issue while accessing settings during a live game. Depending on the solar system and your computer, and connection, this can result in a very long delay to rebuild the system before you can play again. We recommend not changing settings during a live game for now. We will be fixing this, but it is an easily avoidable problem, so in the interim, avoid doing this!


    Windows Versions: Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 (64 & 32 bit)

    Mac OS/X: 10.7, 10.8 & 10.9

    Beta Build: 57449
    • This is primarily a stability build. We have a bigger feature build we're working hard on. Our plan is next week, before the US Thanksgiving holiday! What's better than too much food and large scale robot war?
    • Fixes a frequent client crash we've been seeing this week. If you're getting a crash on startup, this should help. Please make sure your drivers are up to date! If you're on a laptop, consider getting the latest beta drivers from AMD or NVidia for your device.
    • A new tutorial video! Gives a little more detail on getting started. There's a known issue of it playing at 320p, rather than full resolution. We're looking into it.

    I wonder how long it is until we see substantial improvements of the UI. I am burning to see more of this new UI rework thing I read about a while ago.

    Its a day when Americans celebrate the fact that the original settlers to NA didn't starve to death by eating lots of delicious food. Its a good holiday.

    well wikipedia can answer such questions, it seems in germany we know a similar event as "Erntedankfest" which translates into "celebration thanks for the harvest". It's not a holiday though and I have don't even know if it has a specific date.

    We don't have any long holidays in the US, at least not in the non-school sense.

    Our general holidays are: January 1st, Memorial Day in May, 4th of July, Labor Day in September, Thanksgiving (usually Thursday and Friday, depending on the company), and the 25th of December (sometimes teh 24th), and some companies, like us, shut down for the week of Christmas for a short winter holiday.

    There are some others as well, though whether they're a national day off or simply a "bank holiday" - banks, schools and government offices only typically - there's not many.

    Same in Canada, so many long weekends haha. Sometimes I just wanna get my damn work done but labour laws require my company to pay overtime for being in the office. So im not allowed to go in even if I wanted to do it for free just to catch up on stuff.

    Same here in aus, i have to pay time and a half on holidays and double time in certain circumstances.
    I try to avoid letting people work holidays, i usually take the work myself so it's cheaper on the company budget.
    I can pay myself whatever .. lol (The inherent joys of being the boss)

    No! It's....
    ...well, yeah, nowadays, that really is all it is. I have to work that holiday because "Black Friday" sales start on "Thanksgiving". Americans really have poor priorities and have managed to screw this holiday up. Such a really bad shame.

    It is no surprise why I am Buddhist. People trample store employees and little children for a discount on entertainment devices. Way to celebrate Jesus's birthday.

    Cant open the latest version of the game, my computer says the file comes from an "unknown publisher/developer"(may not be the actual expression, am swedish so just translated it word by word), and refuses to open the file.

    I play on Mac.

    What to do?
