Oh damn, now the Gefs seem much more interesting. I thought they were just around to be the trouble-making third party.

[SpardaSon21]

While their ships and habitats remain crude, they've had to explore radical technologies to survive: von Neumann assembly, cloning, genetic engineering, radical cybernetic augmentation.

The deeper Gef factions are no longer tied to Iain MacDuff's agenda. They have their own transhumanist plans. Infighting is still constant, though, and the standard of living even among the radical Gef factions is fairly miserable by in-system standards.

Now I want some kickass fiction about these guys where before they were bland space hippies.  Damn you, Battuta.

[Phantom Hoover]

They were never bland space hippies what with the whole living in Kuiper belt habitats thing.

Kostadin cell != all gefs

You're that naive?

No please, leave it in as a secret or something. Like Mr. Cuddles.

I'll be quite picky with these in particular. Keep the variations sharp, grandmaster.

[Axem]

Steele's got Byrne pinned to Earth, unveiled a devastating discovered attack on the Wargods and is keeping his ranks open on Calder; being wary of any of violent moves from Calder that may lose Steele his tempo. The Federation's only hope at this point is to get a passed pawn to promotion and use the new Queen to cause an upset.

Pinwheels are the dirtiest. My body is ready .

An upset new queen indeed......

Long overdue burst of commits in prep for upcoming Act 3 release. At least 50 commits in the last couple days. Probably the coolest sounding non spoiler one:

Lowered the time threshold for stalemate detection + Toutatis becoming available as buyable asset

"Hey guys, we figured we would reorganize the SVN before launch. Please redownload 1+GB at 20kb/s. Kthx!"

Am... am I reading these right? Does that mean BP2 R2 is like, almost here?
 

* Leeko goes back to permalurk mode

[General Battuta]

We'll be releasing Act 3, hopefully in the next couple days. It's not quite the full R2 but it's something!

[Leeko]

  well if I had noticed that new thread I guess I'd not be surprised, iamdumb

Meh. I strongly hope you release at the beginning of the a weekend (which would be, after all, right now, pal. ), so I have enough time to play it through in one go.

Until FIRESPAWN manages to update me on the status of my PC, i am unable to form an opinion on downloading this, let alone playing it.
