Sorry about the delay with the last alpha build

from Stardock Forums
Brad has been having all sorts of crazy trouble with his machine. It's pretty much straightened out now, but he's got a few more things to get up and running. On the plus side, you'll end up with a few more things than you originally would have gotten.

The planet list and ship lists have been implemented (although the ship list is currently just displaying the ship name and no other information) and the event list now has wrapped text. You'll be happy to know that the scrollbars for all three lists work. :)

I have an idea, you should take all the Alpha tester's last name and put them in the planet name list :D

If I may voice a simple wish, should you actually put our names in the game, I'd much rather have my firstname there.

Why? Well, my firstname is Steen, which means rock in Danish. My lastname is Andersen - and it won't really stand out..

Steen, I've always thought you rock, buddy, but I didn't know why before. Thanks for the background.

And we already have a planet called Anderson so it'd be confusing anyway. Why don't you post your star system names as you would like them to appear in the game and then Brad can add them in if he so chooses.

With MOO I am always naming my first system "Kistler", and using "Jack" as my player name.
Conceit, I guess.

Cheers,
Jack

mine would be the "Wills" system, I think it has a ring to it :) so does the "kistler" system

I think my bet is for "Terra" that in italian is the equivalent for earth. Planets could be "SPQR", "Caesar", and so on...
You can guess those italians would also bring spaghetti (Barilla or De Cecco), parmiggiano (not parmesan that is a brand name from Kraft and by comparison is just junk) and pizza (but not pepperoni pizza that is a US thing we do not have/like here) with them. Give them an happiness bonus of 5 pts ;)

What kind of pizza do you have in Italy then?

well if we go for meanings of names, jeffery is dutch meaning Heavenly Peace. strange name for a planet, but I can deal with it.

we have pizza margherita, napoli, patate, rossa, crostino, marinara, about 30 to 50 types.... but ;) none with fishes. We leave that to other countries to patent it LOL
Sometimes you can get pizza with mozzarella and shrimps but that is as far as we can push us ;)
Usually we have 1 to 3 toppings at most including tomato and cheese (mozzarella) if this is the case.
Please, tell me if you come to Roma, I'll be happy to bring you to taste real pizza...

:) Could you maybe freeze a couple of pizzas and mail them by air mail to Stardock? :)
