Bought (backed) the game ages ago and still haven't really played it Congrats Chris and the team, momentous effort which I'll sure will be richly rewarded!

Bought the game ages ago and consider it one of my best gaming purchases in recent times. I personally don't play it these days, although the beta is still lots of fun. Despite not really working. Chris and the team, I say take your time, do it right. Plenty of folks like me to support you with $$ and patience.

This game was enjoyable for a brief time. Maybe the nostalgia glasses are on, but it's nothing compared with the epic experiences that were the original and Terror from the Deep. Last Played Xenonaughts a few months ago, even buggy as hell and ultimately unplayable due to all my saves becoming corrupted, it was more fun than this re-make. Hard to be excited about this expansion. If anyone is thinking of buying the recently announced X-Com branded Mass Effect clone, don't! Unless you have cash and time to burn, but I would still say not worth it.

I know most regular forum goers and likely devs will cringe at this, but I feel it's a valid question. Paid my money for the pre-order, and trying to convince my friends/gaming buddies to do the same. Is there an indicative time that I can tell them? Not going to hold anyone to anything, but in the interests of having folks part with $$, some sort of timeframe would be helpful. Thanks!

Had to share this, gold; Continuing my tactic of charging in fresh (read, meatshields) troops with the riot shield, then bringing up my Officers behind them, the following happened. 4 soldiers all surrounding an alien. My best Officer (a Major) has the machine gun. I order him to decimate the alien scum. He proceeds to shoot and kill the soldier standing to his left, to his right and the guy standing behind the alien. Next turn the alien promptly shoots and kills my Major, 1 shot. Another meatshield trooper shoots the alien from extreme range with a pistol, the alien takes the hit and then proceeds to shoot and kill said meatshield. Hilarious.

For folks who can't take the changes, do as I'm doing and continue to follow the progression but don't actually play it until release

I thought that everyone else was dead? Those crazy farmer Joe guys with their shotguns seem to be better at shooting aliens than my troops!

Thanks for the reply, sounds like we may be looking at a 2014 release then?

Hi guys, Loving this game, fantastic work. Question on troops, my better soldiers (Captains, Majors) seem to be particularly poor marksmen. Maybe it's some sort of alien mind control thing? Even from point blank they seem to miss alot, then the alien will miss them! I have had firefights with a bunch of my troops standing next to a group of aliens (literally next to them) and everyone popping off rounds but hitting nothing. Could be a weird coding thing, but it's very funny Btw, any word on a window for release? So tempting to play properly right now, but I'm trying to hold back for release!

I have this exact issue. Are you saving during combat? My theory is that's the cause.

This is a very good game, but it's unplayable for me due to all my save games CTD upon load. This happened in both the stable and experimental build, same issue. All my drivers are up to date and I've never had a problem on any of the ~30 games installed on my rig currently.

Managed to load a savegame, start of a ground map. Either saving or completing the map via winning or losing ends in a crash. Extremely frustrating.
