Most current info I've seen while browsing through here is "late Summer".   

You are alone in wanting to see the next beta out to join. I waffled just long enough to miss the Beta 2 wagon for pre-ordering. I've since paid and now await my turn.

Late August / early September was what I heard last, but I'm betting its been pushed back to mid-September at the earliest.

Probably none.

PLEASE include one of the other races.


I don't think those are going to be added until beta 4, if then. Alas

Jperzio is right, in the newsletter it says :

Sins of a Solar Empire. Ironclad's 4X RTS goes into multiplayer beta in September. It will be released in February 2008.

We're currently aiming for the 2nd week of September, but we'll see how things go.

Yay! Soon we will be able to crush Schem into dust. We can make a game within the game...whoever kills off Schem first wins.

Lets not get impatient. I would rather this game remain and continue as the gem that it is than rush anything whatsoever.

God forbid should I load moo3 up again since even this here beta came out.

You do know that if you buy the TotalGaming.net membership for $70 and then use 5 of your tokens to pre-order that you can get the beta 2 at any time and also be in Beta 3 when it comes out? That's what I did yesterday and happily played it for like 5 hours straight

I know some might not be able to afford that, but you do get the game then for only 5 tokens which is $35 and they have lots of other good games on their service to buy like all the GalCiv 1+2 stuff + expansions.

Glad you like it.   We've got a lot of additional games in the pipeline for TGN too for the next couple of months.

That still works? I thought beta 2 had been closed to new customers since the beginning of the month.

TGN doesn't follow that rule -- you in instantly with tokens.

NOTE: the beta 2 patch has been moved back to hopefully next week due to Al Gore and global warming.

[12:51] * Yarlen cries
[12:55] <@Yarlen> Damn Al Gore...

[13:01] <@Yarlen> This patch wasn't originally intended to be so large....
[13:01] <@Yarlen> But better to get this stuff out there.
