Default .99 Demo Code = Shipped Code?

Does the .99 demo accurately reflect what was shippped? There's still a few bugs that annoy me in the .99 demo, but I get the impression that the shipped Version has fixed them. Is this true? If so, will there be an updated demo?

Just read the MM homepage. There you will see that they dont abandon the game after release. There is continuued support the time till SE5. I am sure they�ll try to wipe out all inconviencies or bugs the next time.

No the 99 demo is the final thing.

However in test we are already up to Version 1.05.

That's OK! Just get the doggone game in our greedy little paws ASAP, and we will live with the bugs while you folks all take a well-deserved break to recover!

The only bug I've even heard about in v0.99 so far that would distress me any is one gamer's claim that Emissive Armor seems to be broken.

Mmmmm, Gravitron Hellbore V on a large mount, now thatsa one *spicy* meatball!

Thats right, we're up to like v1.05 (I bet we'll be getting to v1.06 in a bit) so as soon as you install the full game, go get the latest update from MM (they should post it on their website I hope)

Speaking of annoying bugs, I'm in a pbem sim turn game with 7 players right now and ingames Messages don't get through so we can't sign any treaties. Now that's annoying as hell imo.

No but usually you would like to post an update when a LARGE chunk of changes have taken place.

Stay tuned.

Jub,

I think you can create treaties you just can't send Messages about them

Actualy, I have yet to actualy get a treaty in effect. When I sign an agrement from the AI, I do get trade with them. However, if I move into a square with them, combat ensues and my ships do _not_ fire back. The computer seems to stay in a state of war no matter what treaties it might have sent.

None of my offers are ever replied to.
