I thought you might like that :)
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

^Meh could be worse. Couldn't it? Mod it up and it isn't as painful.
Doesn't matter how much it gets modded.  It's still the same craptastic campaign AI, and same wonky naval battles (which was -- theoretically -- the biggest attraction for me).

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention this little tidbit: 

Both ships AND ground units will gain experience from battle.  Not only will this increase their all-around combat abilities, but -- depending on whether Dan gets the time to implement this part -- it may unlock certain special abilities as well.  Hooray!

I can't get this alpha title to load up without the game window being all skewed, it's like the window is centered somewhere off screen. My resolution is 1600x900. Nothing I can find (ie. a configuration setup) can cure it. I'm running the alpha distributed via Desura.

Anyone actively testing this one, have any idea?

I have a similar issue where some of the UI buttons are locate beneath the windows task bar and are inaccessible.  Shutting down the game and restarting has cured this issue for me so far.

Dan has put up a short "showreel", displaying both gameplay and artwork/animation:

Apparently updates/news/etc. had slowed down due to Dan having attended the GDC, hence partly why there's been little to report on the game recently.  Hopefully that will change now, though!

There's been no official word that I'm aware of.  However, if we presume that StarDrive is still on track for a summer release, I'd guess the beta should be starting sometime in the next month or so.

Leonard Nimoy would approve.

Oh yeah, and Dan made this rather cryptic comment on the game's website: 

"We have some potentially exciting developments coming on the horizon as a result of our trip to GDC. Nothing to announce yet, but stay tuned!" 


Now I'm more curious than ever.  Gah!

Yes, I believe he would.

This was released to beta today for people who pre-order...has anyone pulled the trigger yet?

I'm on the fence whether to get Stardrive or Starsector (formerly Starfarer http://fractalsoftworks.com/)

I have Starsector and its more of a single battle thing last time I checked. The combat is a very big thung right now and pretty unforgiving, but it could be my lack of skill  ;)

I'm close to pull the trigger on StarDrive since its looks more 4x right now, but its a little expensive... Will report back.

I ended up buying Stardrive, hope to put some time into it today.

Edit:  Just some initial thoughts.  The opening scene, music, and interface have a very Mass Effect feel to it.  Mass Effect is one of my favorite Sci-fi series' so that bodes well.  :)  No space combat yet, mostly just been exploring the interface and feeling my way about.
