Going to host a 10 player Statera FFA in 20 minutes after I get a new version pushed. I hope everyone's as pumped as I am!

Working to get "connecting to matchmaker" fixed. sorry for delay.

THAT TANK COMMANDER!! WHHHOOOOOOOOOPPPPP

oooooooh official ranked ladder. now is my time!!! just maybe!!!

To note, this is ranked. Leaderboards are coming in a near future update.

Still, it's something to brag about. time to go earn dat bronze.

Yay, time to play ^^

This is still happening. I'm struggling to figure out how it ever could have started.

New Upcoming Commanders? AND ONE IS A TANK COMMANDER?! YAY!

Wooo!

I'm afraid i'm only going to feel comfortable with these systems if they are made by Uber/are fair or have symmetrical metal.

Well, at least i know it's coming soon.

Is this commander still planned to go on sale in the armoury?

Any word on the Zaazzaa Commander yet? *The Marauder Lookalike*

I need something to spend my money on

Steam news for the last few release builds haven been missing. (Not steam forum post, but actual Steam news.)

Good point, the updates need as much visibility as possible
