ALPHA 3 OUT NOW
Yes its out, and it will make even the hardest veteran look like he/she never had played an X game before. All possible strategies you may have, scrap them, they won't fit in New Dimensions' Universe.
We made some hard changes, most not visible to the eye, some not even noticeable at first glance (or second), but they will make you rethink the way you play TC as you discover them, like:
- No more Self-sustained Complexes! Mines and SPP are not connectible to complexes
- Only few "jumpable" gates left
- Jumpdrive only fits in Bigships
- Sun strength differs from sector to sector
- No real good asteroids in "sunny" sectors
- L1 Fabs can only be build in "specific" sectors (they are now "planet dependent")
- Ships are faster
- Ships Hull/Shield ratio changed (battles actually are fun now)
- Tweaked the relations between races (you wont be friends with everyone at the same time)
That's where you come in, we need you to report to us as much feedback as you can, constructive and as precise as possible. That feedback is imperative to our development.
