uh-oh, I better buy more ram. I sit at about the as you!

Yah, RAM is a big problem with me too. I don't think I will get in because of it. I have 1.7 GHz, a 64 MB geforce 2, but only 128 megs of ram. Yah, thats right 128 megs of ram. Unfortunately every time I get up on the world, and manage to have a slight monetary surplus, something always comes up to take it away.

lucky me then, I have 640mb of ram wit a 1.47ghz prosessor, oh and a GeForce4 Ti4400 128 ddr, jeez... I never realized how lucky I am

Actually, I will be taking some beta testers that have low end machines. I need to see if the performance is adequate on these systems. But it may be heartening to know that I've been testing it under a 900 MHz, 128MB Ram, GeForce2 system and I can keep up 30 FPS.

So feel free to apply even if you have a low end system. That may be what gets you in!

Dude, I need your new game....err maybe not just yet! I'm beta-ing for two of the most anticipated MMORPG games, and I wouldn't be able to do justice to this game.

I'm definitely not going to get much work done this summer with EVE, Planetside, and Starfury...that's just a recipe for disaster to my work sked! I'm currently averaging 4-5 hours a night, and I also picked up that new Starships Unlimited, so that's another time sink...but I'm loving it after a severe dry spell of boring game...E&B (After Lvl 65) and AO...and dumb@$$ MOO3!

What would be involved with beta testing? if I just have to play it a lot I definitely could do that(I'm home taking care of my grandma all day long and can play PC game most of the time as she sleeps a lot, but I still have to be here if she wakes up and needs something) but what other expertise would I need(Like programing knowledge? Debuging?) Do you think They'd let me if this was my first betatesting gig? I would like very much to get into the videogaming industry and would like to have the experience.

Probably been covered before, but I have a query concerning Starfury.

I don't anticipate that the game will have a multiplayer component at release (I expect that the SP alone is going to be worth more than the price of admission), however, I have to ask if there are any plans for multiplayer at all to be in the game? Since it is sort of a "proof of concept" thing for SE5's combat system and such, it would make sense that establishing a working MP system at around the same time.

More than anything, Co-op comes to mind here.
