Wow I havent played PA in about 5 months and I come back and it looks absolutely beautiful now, with the optimization my mediocre computer runs it nice and I'm really enjoying the singel player galactic war. Haven't tried getting back into MP yet though. Was fun being part of alpha but looking back I think it ruined the image of PA as my gaming group are negative towards the game due to playing us bored of it a year ago due to bugs and much lag, but the game now looks and feels very polished now. At least it's a lesson learned to not play alpha version of games as if it was the released version. Just wanted to say great job with game, this is exactly what I was after watching the kickstarter trailer back then. Only thing lacking is a coop galactic war imo, see there are already some threads on it so I'm keeping my hopes up
This can be a problem with any early access though... You "know" you won't get a completed game, but deep down inside you will judge it AS IF it were a completed game Takes a special kind of gamer to be able to see past that That being said: i'm quite happy i picked this one up once it hit beta. It was still buggy, but there was already more content, and went smoother and smoother as the ride went along... So alphas? no, i'm not dedicated enough to stumble and fall with a game that still has a lot of work to it. Betas? Absolutely! Being part of the more "fun" stage of development is something we all should take part in
