Any word on a demo?

On their forums, they said a month after release.

I found it somewhere else and gave it a glance. I opened up a screenshot and instantly thought the UI was lifted from SE5. I wasn't too impressed, only 3 races, but then I realised it isn't meant to be multiplayer. I suppose I'll give it a look.

It is meant to be multiplayer. It is a real time game, which can be saved. When setting up a multiplayer game, you can make it small enough so it will last an hour, or large enough to last months. Although I don't think the tech tree really changes, so at some point it runs out.

I watched some beta videos on it, it does seem to have some merit as its own game rather than another MOO/SE/Galciv type.

I'll be getting it because I love fleet combats, plus there's already mods being worked on for B5/ST/SW. Plus a friend had the beta and from what I seen of that it looked really cool.

It got alot of complaints on the initial beta, as I recall it. However, it's been in near-public beta for over a year now, so I guess it's possible it might actually turn out to be a good game. Anyone actually tried it? My fear is that it's going to be too much "Real-time Strategy in Space" and not enough Homeworld.
