Dev Stream (Friday, March 27th) at 3pm EST, Noon Pacific

What is the plan moving forward will there be a beta 6 or will the focus be on balancing and polish?

whats the plan for the yor assembley?

at the moment we can only produce/buy 5b at once, which is a lot early and too little late game

Are double stars still planned? Assuming they are, I can understand them taking a while as there's probably a good number of things that are on a higher priority to be worked on right now.  Also, if double stars are gonna be implemented, could you tell us about the mechanics of them?  Thank you.

We need MORE MAP COLORS for Custom Races/Factions!  Currently Beta 5 only has 15 color options under Map Theme. I am nearly done creating 25 custom factions to join the 8 standard factions for a total of 33, so I would love to have 33 different shades to help me discern which territories on the map below to which faction. For now, many colors will be used for two or even three factions. I hope this is an easy item that can be included in the next patch.

We could also use more emblems and leader pictures to help with creating lots of custom races. For those like me trying to draw on Star Trek, Bab5, and other scifi TV series, we could really use more humanoids that look a lot like humans with ridges on their foreheads, strange ears, or reptilian skin. Those TV shows were using human actors in make up for their aliens, so they often looked a lot like humans. Thanks!

Can we be able to DELETE custom Factions. I made an error or two and would like to 'start over' on a particular faction. 

Can we get a 'Random' button to just randomly create a faction and I can be 'surprised' upon discovery? This would make setting up the larger maps with more factions a bit easier. 

Can we expect more UP resolutions (more is better)!!!

@ larsenex theres a delete button when you select the race its on the bottom left of the race info ( i think) ive used it a few times 

1. @Stardock In the map editor, can you place stars right next to each other and make impassable walls of stars?

2. @Stardock Is there a tech that allows you to move celestial bodies?

3. @Stardock Is there a tech that allows ships to teleport?

When will planet generation be fixed to more accurately reflect the terms abundant? 

hmm... tried to log in early and it appears chat is not working for me well hopefully it's up in a half hour

In multiplayer, can we get an option to 'share' the battle viewer we're watching with other players so that they can watch it too at the same time.

When playing co-op vs AI games with friends this would make a big difference. At the moment big, flashy important battles which you want to watch are something which they have to just silently sit through.

@Casorian Emporer, thanks for ruining those show for me, now I will never view those "aliens" the same way

replay its the whole list but it should be the first one

Edit 

broken link conspiracy 

The video is not showing up in their channel for me, and when I click andros's link, youtube tells me the video is private.

I had to work a 11 hour day yesterday and was really hoping to catch the Dev stream replay today will I relax.

Please upload the Dev video.

I'm beginning to think this so-called "dev stream" doesn't exist at all! 

Tried to watch the March 27th Dev Stream on Saturday on YouTube.  It wasn't posted there.  Either it never got up, or it was removed.

yeah it was there i was at work when the stream was going live so i had to find in on thier list of all youtube videos because they never updated here
i watched it but diddent see anything that would warrent them removing the video

at one point they crashed or closed the game and we went to a full screan of ray and paul, behind ray was a nice big window with blinds someone on twitch asked what was on the other side and they quickly said nothing and went back to the game......... what are they hiding behind the window?

The Illuminati deleted the vid.

It can still be seen on Twitch.

Not quite as user friendly as YouTube, but it's better than nothing.

Thx for the link. For some reason I can never seem to find those on Twitch.

Will there eventually be any decisions for the player to be made during the battle?

Nope

There has never been a developer saying that nope. Just un-fans.
