Ok, here is the question:

 

Beta is being released. On both Gamestop(Impulse) and Steam?  Steam only? Gamestop(impulse) only?

If Steam only? What about those that Purchased the preorder through Gamestop?

 

What about those of us that purchased the pre-order through StarDock directly back in March of 2011 when Impulse WAS Stardock? Who are we going to go through to get our game?

I thought they said only those who pre-ordered directly from Stardock would get into the beta (but I could be wrong). I imagine if multiplayer is a part of beta 1, we'll either need to download from Stardock (like the elemental beta) and enter a key into Steam or we'll download it directly from  steam.

Waiting... waiting... more waiting.

Lets see here... what else to do..

Well I'm pretty much too excited to think about anything else... so back to waiting

Has anyone heard about the Corvette class ships? I haven't really seen anything much about them except the short lil gameplay "New corvette class ships use their enhanced speed and maneuverability to weave through the battlefield, inflicting damage to enemy ships’ systems." info.

Yeez people I will say this for the last time, since it has been said so often by the dev's already:

NO MATTER WHERE YOU HAVE PRE-ORDERED YOU WILL NEED TO INSTALL THE STEAM CLIENT AND THE BETA WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD THERE AS SOON AS IT BECOMES AVAILABLE.

You need to create a Steam account and tie your beta code (which you will receive per e-mail) to that account in order to be able to install and download the game.

Does this clear up a few things Falcon?

I didn't see that statement by the devs so thanks for clarifying. I'll believe you are trustworthy despite your avatar

But to do that, we need the beta keys.  Stardock, we're all waiting on you.

No, it is Microsoft fault... since Stardock have try win8 , there is a permanent bug in their electronic calendar... all date are shifted with one month...

It was not planned to have a Rebellion beta release on the 1 March.... what was really planned is a 1 April joke...

It has been posted in another thread by Kryo I believe. Don't worry about my kitty by the way, it won't kill you unless you wear pink trousers.

It's already 5:30 in the UK, think it's going to be an all nighter

That helped SteelFin plus this email reply from Stardock Sales:


The game can only be purchased from our Store page but when the game releases it will be added to your Steam account and you'll be able to play it on there.

The pre-orders go directly through our Store page but the game will require Steamworks to be able to play it.

Not happy about the Steam requirements, have some bad blood between them and me and problems with their service that they didn't want to support or help me with an issue caused by their system, just take my money was all... (told to live with my loss until I had outside mediation step in)  Just glad that Stardock gets my money directly in this case so will live with their (Stardock) decision for distribution.

Neither can I! My Gmail is just sitting there in that tab open waiting for that number in parenthesis to go up by one...

 

EDIT: Weird: Just got my email, but it was an error!

 

Had to re-pre-order. Now I'm probably at the bottom of the beta key list

It's not going to be on Impulse, and you will have to enter your key in Steam before you see it.
