    *whistles in admiration* I see they've got a solid salt-proof gasket around the dome there. That, my friend, is obviously designed to be filled with brackish water in consideration of a Hylotl pilot. Yessir, I personally look forward to providing defensive firepower for ongoing Hylotl Galactic Dominion (HGD) deep space trade missions while perched atop my very own Wheeled-Death (it's what we're calling this model from now on, deal with it). Truly the HGD will create a great and prosperous Hylotl empire that will stretch across unnumbered galactic super-clusters!

    I look forward to the day when, traveling at maximum warp, one will be unable to cross the great-and-prosperous-Hylotl-empire in a single standard galactic cycle! That will be the day!

    The point of beta in today's world is "early access" where they give you a bug-laden game which crashes every few minutes and you hate it and you want them to fix it and why did I buy this stupid game anyway?
    Chucklefish, however, is doing an honest to goodness beta.. where we, the testers, will find bugs that they may have missed out. The bulk of you seem to be letting your impatience cloud your good sense. Don't do that, man. It'll come out when it does. :up:

    The point of beta testing is to find bugs the devs didn't find, so they can fix them before release.

    Being lazy and not finding any, or not fixing any, prior to beta is counter-productive. This team is taking pride in their work, clearly, and I can't help but respect that.

    ...Even if I am biting my nails and chomping at the bit to get the download. :)

    Excellent point, sir.

    The 'bugs' that a beta is meant to fix are not in the variety of "AUUUUGH, THIS IS GLARINGLY OBVIOUS WHY IS THIS NOT IMPLEMENTED YET!?". They are in the category of "Oh wow, so if my character is at 5% hunger and is standing on one leg while rubbing his tummy in the lava biome, the game freezes up" category. It's stuff that is situational, not glaring. There will be plenty of bugs that get fixed in beta. Worry you not, my wee tots!
