Will version 3 be an update or a new seperate product.

Hi, i'll just quickly say hello to everyone as i bought US yesterday and this is my first time using the forums.

What i was wanting to know was about the upcoming update 3.

Will it be a free update for current US owners or a seperate 'stand-alone' version?

I'm asking due to the fact thats it going to use the Unity engine and i thought this might mean it will be seperate from version 2.

I didn't know anything about version 3 until about half an hour ago so i'm sorry if this particular info has already been mentioned many times.

It will be a separeted product

And not free either, its a new standalone version.  It was originally going to be a free upgrade for those who bought US2 but with all the additional things being added and the larger crew working on it there will be a price to pay for this greatness

Please read this to understand why Universe Sandbox 3 will not be a free upgrade:
