    Make sure we have a few proper games. I don't think research times for armors are tuned properly (I'm looking at you reactive).

    That's a good idea. Maybe after a round of district while waiting for people, there can be a real match followed by more specific testing if issues are found.

    TBH Every playtest should be like this. Otherwise Empires will turn even more into Bananaware than it is now.

    i agree, testing and having fun can go together, and what better test can you have then actually playing the game ?

    strict rules concerning dividing a "testing" and "playing" phase would be convenient, so that admins can effectively halt the killing and gaming for a "lets try this out for a minute cause it seems bugged" thing

    Tbh you can 'test' anytime, just ask a couple of people in the steam group and join the server. Just feel that we do more 'testing' than actually recognising the validity of it.

    So that test revealed two major crashes. They should be fixed now. TEST TOMORROW!

    And nades are too weak against turrets, if you want to nerf them make it 4 nades not 5.
