While I also like BOF (I'm playing a game now between GC crashes :sniff!: to alleviate the frustration), I always felt that its handling of combat left a lot to be desired. Too fast, and a crushing defeat of half your fleet was treated the same as a retreat of one scout (morale wise). A lot of features aren't requirements for 4x games, but successful ones do tend to have a good balance.

The other games/mp3's I play sound fine. I'm using my motherboard's built-in C-Media 8738 sound chip with Logitech 560-Z speakers (I know, I know, an average sound chip with great speakers doesn't make much sense, but that's the way I set up my system!). I don't know if they've been testing this game with many Windows XP systems, cause it has more bugs that a stary cat has fleas. :p Still like it alot, but the continual crashes are getting to me!

How can you tell what version of the beta you are playing? On the Dregin Net game screen, it shows I have 0.3.001 installed, but I have no idea what version that may be. Also, the game crashes repeated when I click on a cruiser using the ship screen. What do I need to send to you to have the bug squashed?
