Just as I'm leaving on a three day mini break... Swell

Don't destroy the galaxy while I'm gone guys and gals! Leave something for me to come back to!

Universe reboots in 15 minutes. Man I am SO glad I prepare for these things...

 

[Iskariot]

Really?
That took me by surprise.
I am looking very much forward to this.
Thanks for all the hard work FD peoples.

And that trailer is wonderful.
Great faces for the ruling powers. I am very impressed. Do these people exist in real life?

 

[lovely lovely]

pretty cool capital ship at the end of the video

You crazy, brave Devs! On another note, I just happen to have the next 4 days off work, couldn't be better timing. (Fingers crossed)

Good to see things moving forward

PS.
I'd sure like the PowerPlay lore to move from 2D Image&ASCII to something more 3D... IMHO would fit our all-3D Universe far better.

I mean something to that tune, stuff and characters a Player can far better identify with :
