I like the ship design intel idea.  It is a new convention, but a clever one.  Starting out with awareness of ship size and little else (perhaps some vague measure of shield strength or max speed observed) would be cool.

I'd only suggest that intel not be arrived at solely by fighting something.  Time alone should build some familiarity with ships, either because you simply observe them flying by, or because the lead design engineer decides to retire in your star empire.

I'd think that programming the AI to deal with this would be insane.
Actually an intel screen has been in Aurora for a long time.  Page is updated continuously as you encounter alien/enemy vessels.  Hopefully a screenie is attached.

OK, 20% threshold passed. Going to work on OSX/Linux versions of the beta today!

Dumb question.  What happens if you don't make your goal?  Is the project totally scrapped or will try something different to get the game completed?  I did pledge for it so would love to see it done.

The later. But it's going to be a pretty rough time.

I really need OSX and Linux users to help me test builds for those platforms. Anyone here able to lend a hand?

Hmm, I could possibly help with Linux, although I'm not really set up for gaming on it and I use a LTS release.  You'll probably get loads of volunteers if you post in r/linux_gaming on Reddit though.

It's been much, much easier to get Linux volunteers than OSX ones thus far.

Yes, and what you should find is the Linux players are much more technically savvy than average, and bugs rooted out will benefit the game as a whole.

I didn't see a post on Reddit, so I'm curious where you recruited volunteers?

About a third of the way through. I backed you even if it isn't my genre. I'll have 2 copies to give away for those that may be better at testing than I would.

Good luck

GamingOnLinux's Discord. Super helpful people! Getting Mac gamers to help test on the other hand is analogous to skinning cats.

I'm planning on making a post on r/linux_gaming just as soon as the Steam release clears the rubber stamping process though.

Awesome, thanks. A part of the reason for offering extra keys is to help get grow the fanbase. I don't even really mind if people pirate the game after its release. I'd rather they pirate it than not play it. Maybe I'll put it up on TPB myself (although if I find a publisher, probably not ;))
