Note this is not the righ (or apropriate) place to discuss game changes. That's what the beta is for, and it is not a public beta. That said, as a beta tester your opinion is noted, but no action will be decided on here in public forms.

Duly noted.

And here I thought that, since the screenshots were publicly available, comments on them would be ok.

You can discuss its just aparently no one will be listening, thats cold David.

I'm just pulling his leg (the 4th one hidden under his arm). he can comment all he wants, I'm prfectly capable of adjusting my input sensors to filter him.

Muahahahahaha

Cheers!

edit: Here's a hypothetical situation.. fyron is in the beta, I'm on the dev team,.. if fyron makes a comment/request here in public,.. and I in turn make the change in the official game, does that make Fyron and myself in violation of the NDA? If we are not supposed to discuss features in the game that have not been made public then it would stand to reason that yes we would (well he would) be in violation.

Note: now that the beta has started, certain restrictions are now in effect. for the beta testers, minor infractions can and most probably be tolarated, but why get in the habbit now? Fyron the Fan has had plenty of time to discuss 'wishlist features' prior to entering the beta.

But this is such a minor thing, but I felt it worth mentionning to make sure the wandering does not go any further.

Don't mind me, I'm just paranoid half of the time and skitso the rest.

Alright that makes sense.

But it doesnt mean non-betas cant discuss/suggest things, and us betas adapt it and pass it along

Absolutly, we should just refrain from commenting about it ourselves. But by all means read the comments posted in the public forums by non-beta members and if someone suggests something that sounds cool, bring it into the beta forum discussion.

That's really the hadest part about being on a beta team. Avoinding talking about the game with non-beta team members. But it's important.

On screenshot #6, the one highlighting "Iolo Asteroid belt #1", it mentions "Occlusion". I wonder what that means...

Possibly some sort of stealth. Like small nebula.

The NDA can't be retroactive to old posts that were perfectly OK at the time they were posted. That would just be crazy.

*SJ resumes counting down the hours until his participation in the beta truly starts with the spinning up of the magic disk.

Discussing how screenshots that Malfador has made publically available look does not seem applicable to the NDA. As long as nothing is mentioned that has not been made available by Malfador, I do not see any possible infraction.
