    Hey! We're doing another livestream (surprise!) tomorrow afternoon Seattle time. We're still hammering out important details like, say, time, but we do know what we're going to cover: all of yesterday's updates brand new features and our experimentation with the game's balance. If things go well, we may even get to show off something ... hot.

    I'd love to have some thoughtful, yet short questions to highlight for a Q&A portion. Also, we're going to table Galactic War questions until the next time, as we'll have more to share about it in the very near future (it's awesome)!

    Anyway, throw your questions in here and we'll see what makes it to the show!

    how far along is the lore?

    How far along is the Announcer?

    Will there be some kind of special announcement if a Custom Commander is used so we actually know rather than figure it out at the last second ? so we can enjoy it's awesome. Can the AI use these custom commanders?

    Yes. During PAX there weren't a lot of updates for a long time. Now, after PAX, will we see the exact inverse ratio of patch/time? Will it 1 patch/3 weeks now become 3 patch/1 week to make up for it?

    No hype, but I feel it will be an exiting week for PA. Scrap your other games folks, get them out the way tonight because you won't be seeing them for a while. Give them a kiss, tell them you love them.

    Is something like the original "egg" concept being considered still? I don't think I've heard anything about it since alpha other than from other players.

    What is your favorite feature that is currently being worked on?

    How do you feel the different planet types/biomes are shaping up?

    How do you feel the current orbital play is shaping up?

    Do you feel like there are still any large gaps in unit roles?

    What ideas do you guys have to further improve interplanetary play?

    First a build and now a livestream! I don't think I can handle the epicness!

    My question: What's the plan for Uber's official mod distro system? Will it work in a similar way to the current community run PAMM and will it be part of the launcher or embedded into the game? When will we see more on it (I'm not asking for a date here, just a pre-release, on release, post-release sort of thing)?

    Thanks!

    The community and uber seem to be going opposite directions when it comes to balance and strategic diversity in the game.

    Has it been decided that the meta strategy for the game will stick to the current "T1 rush and harass, or T2 rush and steamroll meta". Or are we going to see a bit of experimentation with more unit diversity and multiple meta strategies?

    Oh, another good question I forgot:

    How is work progressing on increasing the player limit from 10? I remember when we could play 40 man games due to a glitch. Uber disabled it, but said they were making that a priority since so many people liked it. Any news on the progress?

    Elephant in the room.

    Are you planning to make Advanced distinct by giving them specialised roles, or by keeping the current system of 'improved Basic units that fill the same role'.

    Can we get any amount of insight on the failed iterations of Galactic War?
    Edit: Oh, sorry. Didn't see your notes on it :(
