good read, damn I am excited for beta 3......
"Two of the new ideas we are working with that we haven't revealed before: you will now be able to 'bribe' the pirates to take their business elsewhere -- it works great when their about to hit one of your key income planets and you don't have the means to rally a defense in time. The other new idea is that pirate raids will now be sighted before they are unleashed, giving players a final few moments to pile on some bounty to influence the raid's target."
"I'll drop a few hints: more environmental content, more NPCs, more ship customization, more UI advancements, more additions to the TEC (the currently accessible faction), more music, modding tools and much more!"
