I would like to beta-test Hera-I've already started rendering to add Obiards to the net races and have an idea to make the Eleejeetians a fair race.

Actualy, Elejeetians should be more powerful than auds. The cruisers are an indication.

Darkk, aud and elejeetan cruisers are itendicle except that the auds have holograms and are larger. All other stats are identicle.

BTW, Admiral Grammaticus, are there any chances of this being a PUBLIC BETA? Or, if not, could I PLEASE get on the team?

They seemed more powerful in 17.
I don't think there is much chance of public beta.
Ambrosia has never done public betas to my knowledge.

I've loved Ambrosia since the very beginning, and in all my days, I have never seen them do a public beta of anything... Except the Harry editor, which is still in beta! (Notice it was an editor Posted Image) Dispite that fact, I am strongly in doubt that Hera will be a public beta. Sorry, Newt.

Darkk, I just wanted to make the Elejeetians fair, not less powerful. I only plan to tone them down enough to make it so that an Eleejeetian newbie doesn't defeat you in 45 seconds, OK?

Hey, I've done beta-testing in the past, including Pangea Software's Bugdom. Does this kind of high-level qualification give me any kind of advance towards Hera testing?

Darkk, actually I made some calculations. It would take at least 96.4 seconds to defeat you.

you must be crazy. When I play him, it turns into a staring match. After about 29 carriers, someone attacks. After the battle, he hyperbombs for a while. Posted Image

Unless I win. Remember the rematch we had after the first tourney? That was fun. Of course, now I do lose a little. Ok, so I do lose, but I am returning to full glory. <This post is just playful bragging>

The problem is that with the Eleejeetian trend, the Eleejeetian carrier would be the equivalent of 29 carriers, and there wouldn't be enough defenses. You'd start out with 5 or so resources, wait 30 seconds for enough to build a carrier, then build a transport within the next 10 seconds. Attack simulataneosly, and you'd have just enough time (the 54.6 seconds left) to attack and bring your transport and carrier to the planet.

Is beta testing still open? If so, I would like to help test.

Though I'd love to do beta-testing on Hera, I realise that the 40+ applications already submitted are probably enough. So count me in if there's room.

More to the point, this invisible grid would be the same style as EV's, right? You fill in how many squares high and wide, and how big each one is, and the editor does the rest?
Maybe I'm thinking selfishly here, but that would work for me (I've got 30+ ships, all gridded up nicely on 6x6 grids).
