When is the new version coming out?
« on: February 22, 2010, 09:22:40 am »
It's been so long since the last version came out.. What features have to be completed before a new revision is released? Is there a list somewhere?

I know that development continues apace because SVN stays busy, but what is the final goal?

This question must come up all the time but I've never seen it posted. Smiley

Actually, that question hasnt come up in a while. I think people are too scared to ask in case meep-eep eats them

I'd be keen to know the answer too Smiley

I find the lack of Shofixti Host Advantage Bug (SHAB) fix most troubling. 0.6.2 can be played almost flawlessly at the moment, so I don't really see a reason for devs to be working around the clock. Crashes are rare, all (?) the original content is there and the netplay works. But still I have to second the original question: when?

You know, I'd be more interested in when we're going to make a version that appeals more to modern users, with some sort of menu asking for your captian's and ships name, and when you press "play" it drops you straight into the game, no having to back out of two menus deep before you can start playing. That's so disorienting at first it's no wonder so many people don't give the game a try.
