Wouldn't it be Ubox3 alpha? Not that it matters THAT much.

Nice one Dan! Can't wait to dive into the alpha!

So, when will alpha testers receive their steam code?

This is just a guess but, when Dan posted his schedule to release Ubox3(2) he said that we were about a month away from the alpha release. he posted that November 6. So I'm guessing early December. But if he wants to send them out earlier, I would be fine with that

Hello everyone! My name is Josh and I registered on the forums a few minutes ago.
I'm one of the alpha testers, and I recently installed it on Steam; so far so good. I'm going to be posting on here on behalf of my experience, as well as reporting any bugs. I'm very excited to be a part of this.

Will all the bugs explained in the feedback sections be ironed out when the beta version becomes available, say January 2014?

blotz · « **Reply #17 on:** December 02, 2013, 04:35:36 PM »

i think it's impossible to fix all these bugs in a month; there's the beta version to continue fixing them

seanjenkinsjr · « **Reply #18 on:** February 17, 2014, 04:32:37 PM »

yeah i have been playing it. its a great game but with all the bugs it would get too much negative feed back and would not sell [like warZ]

I have a question Dan, depending on how easy it is could you change the minimum mass for a brown dwarf to fuse hydrogen and become a star from 93.0 Jupiter Masses to 83.8 Jupiter Masses?
M-Class stars go all the way from M0 at the highest and M9 at the lowest. 83.8 Jupiter masses is supposed to be the point where hydrogen fusion is hot enough in the core, and I have baskets upon baskets of ideas to put into action that involve stars below 93.0 Jupiter Masses.
Thanks for listening, I hope I didn't come off as demanding, I'm just really hoping it makes it into the final release.

Dan Dixon · « **Reply #25 on:** February 28, 2014, 03:53:32 PM »

The way we were handling stars in the original has been completely overhauled in the sequel... so you should be able to create the lower mass stars you're envisioning.

WoW it's fantastic!
