I'm almost ready to start an open beta test. For that I need some descriptive text of the game so I could register on "web-games lists" sites. We still need to finish encyclopaedia and write some tutorials for beginners.
I'll try and complete the encyclopaedia, meanwhile could you please help me with the descriptive text of the game?

Are you really ready?
IMHO, i think that some features from roadmap must be implemented before global test
1. Redesign of galaxy map
2. Scoring (really increase of play interest)
3. Some changes in balance by result of closed test.

It doesn't mean that next round will be an opened beta. I say that we are almost ready. During next alpha test in 2 galaxies simultaneously I plan to prepare everything for an open beta test.

Ok, here is a bit for the game text, its probably needs more adding though:
Delta Quadrant: Horizons is a multi player, browser based strategy game. To play this game you only require an internet connection and modern browser (insert names here).
In Delta Quadrant: Horizons, humans are the only playable race. You start with a single planet, and a small empire on the verge of venturing into space. How you build your empire is your choice, whether you improve your home planet first, or immediately start researching space travel, is up to you. But know, you are not alone. There are many other empires out there, some friendly, others not. Broaden your empires horizons, explore the wonders of space, and reign supreme. Do you have what it takes?
Thats sort of the introduction, not sure if thats what you want. I think it needs something about broadening horizons, as this is the name.
Anyway, I will try and write some more tomoorow. Any ideas on what else it should have/any changes etc.

Good job. I went through lots of descriptions for space strategy games and they are so common and not interesting.
Here is a slightly changed version:

You can add some words about another features, such as Aliances, Ship Design etc.
Sorry, but for me is too hard to be english writer.

That seems fine Its not too long, and is quite interesting.
Maybe just a few simple changes:

I just changed a few words, bit that says 'almost limitless possibility of development' to 'huge range of development possibilities for the player'
removed start from 'immediately start researching space travel' and added a few little words here and there, no major changes

OK. Tomorrow I plan to reset both galaxies and start new round of alpha testing in 2 galaxies simultaneously. Which one should be the second test galaxy?

Well, I am guessing we cant have the eye or trio, as these need BH, or WH, so maybe Virgo? Its small, and we dont have many players yet, so that should probably be best. Save the good galaxies for beta
BTW, when I can I will try and do some more with the galaxy editor, so we can create ideas for a new galaxy

Yes, Virgo could be a good one. Until I reset it and make it all ready, maybe you could write something for encyclopaedia?
Thanks in advance
