    "We’ve got some incredible news to share with you guys. In a few short days, we’re releasing an update to our next-generation RTS Planetary Annihilation. This update marks the start of a new phase of the game’s development: Gamma.

    Planetary Annihilation Alpha introduced concepts, scale and mechanics. Beta gave you epic moments. Gamma will present a new way to interact with the game — and the experience will revolve around you and your friends.

    As we roll out features in the Gamma phase, we’ll give you an entirely new and more intuitive way to browse, experience, and play Planetary Annihilation. We’ll make teaming up and streaming more satisfying. We’ll make controlling multiple planets simpler with powerful tools. And that’s just the start of what we plan to add.

    We’ll have more details on our upcoming Gamma update and phase over the coming days. You’ll get your first peek of what Gamma has in store when it hits this Thursday, February 27th across all our digital channels, including the Uber Store, Steam, The Humble Bundle store, and EA’s Origin service."

    Something called Gamma?:confused:

    This from an inside source who I cannot name. He e-mailed me the words above.

    Alpha, Beta, Gamma. Makes sense in a way.

    I wonder what we are supposed to get though. All I actually want currently is a few fixes for pips so I can actually use them to play. Those broken icons are a pain.

    Ugh. You were two seconds before me. I actually commented on it rather than copy paste.

    But how about sharing a link for source/credit?

    Normally I'm dead excited for these, but just two days before a tournament? Balls.

    Ah who am I kidding? I'm still excited :)

    We'll whip out some hard details tomorrow, but yeah -- you'll have a new build of the game on Thursday.

    I didn't know the Greek one, so I went for the Nato one.

    I am both nervous about Galactic War, and excited, and I am hoping that this is what is coming on Thursday Friday

    Wait: Thursday is tomorrow.

    It's a funny hybrid.

    Nato is Alpha Bravo Charlie Delta Echo Foxtrot

    I'm hoping we get better planet movements. A better way to decide how many halleys you need and the option to move moons and asteroids into orbit.

    My guess is next release candidate and then release to manufacturer or could be bacon the next phase.
    You're right they just did.
    I made a comment on it but I didn't source it. You got me there. Also there isn't much you can say about it.

    So uh...
    P-Playable test version of Galactic War maybe?

    You know.
    If it...
    If it's not too much trouble...

    Why does it matter who started the thread? We're all commenting on it now anyway.
