I've obtained access to the game (it describes itself as "in Gamma") and while it is unfinished, it definitely lives up to the promise in this trailer. It's pretty fast-paced, and I think I'm playing too risk-aversely (too attached to my stuff which I really should treat as more expendable).

I've gotten my space base hit with a planetoid both times I've played the full game (as opposed to the campaign with limited tech) against AIs Some day I will return the favor!!

I've looked at this game a bit. Seems to pricey though for an unfinished game. Hell, at what.. 49.95? it's pricier than a good many finished games on steam. I don't like paying to be a beta tester.

But, when its finished, and cheaper. I may pick it up.

Yeah part of me felt a bit guilty at spending so much on a game. Maybe I'll donate some more to Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders) to feel better about it >_>

I'm so cheap I just quoted SD. I agree with what SD said, too pricey for unfinished and not much to promise on graphics.

This charge-extra-for-beta-access model is starting to become popular. Software is such a strange product.

It makes sense from an economic analysis of monopoly: price discrimination between people who are willing to pay different prices means more money is paid to the firm.
