It's good to know we have fans over here on Wargamer.

You sure have Steven, Din's Curse have been a game we keep going back to me and my twins girls. Great game!

Pretty sure I will be ready to buy when the beta arrives

Good to see you post over here Steven, I think you'll find theres probably a lot of support for Soldak here - and we're anticipating the new game very much. Any tidbits you can post up about the progress made on Drox would be very much appreciated and salivated over

Most of my tidbits goes to twitter, facebook, or my blog. If you guys have any specific questions though, I can certainly try to answer them.

Fans!? I'm literally froathing at the mouth at this one! Space + Soldak = Lock and Load!

Keep us updated, would love to see some screenshots!

I'm a certfied "Froather" too! Screenshots are needed to pacify the supporating masses awaiting the Drox Op.

Available for pre-order and inclusion into the beta.

How long has this game been in development? It needs Windows 98? GeForce 3? No Windows 7 support?

It works for me in Win7.

Those are really the minimum requirements. It should work just fine on Windows 7.

It very much reminds me of Space Rangers 2.   Only real-time instead of turn-based and quite Din's Curse flavored. 

The initial start was a bit slow going (literally) but after a few levels, and some better loot to equip, it became more interesting.  Having all those AIs playing a big 4x type strategy game on a higher level makes me wonder at what all could be done in such a setting.

This is a great little time waster. Hooked me most of the day and night. Something irresistible about grinding away at  leveling up, and you wiill grind away. I haven't found a fast lane, but that means you're earning it.

I play the beta:

We finally released a demo for Drox Operative. If you haven't been playing the beta, now is a great time to try it out.

Outstanding game. Better than Din's Curse.

Could do with some tweaks however:

1. Gates should not require clicking to go through them

2. Autofire for one of the weapons would be nice, and save a lot of clickage.

3. The game would be better with gates, just all the planets in one multistar system, like Firefly.

4. Variable thrust. Sometimes you want to travel at a speed inbetween zero and max.

5. Controller support.

6. Better physics, ships should keep going at the speed you turned the thrust off, slowing down would invove fliping the ship. Also a planet's gravity should have a big effect on the ship.

Idea for expansion, battles on a planet that would be like one level of Din's Curse with guns, psionics and other high-tech stuff.

While I'm not sure about a lot of the other suggestions, this sounds like it could be fun.   Din's Curse IN SPAAACE!  (but on the ground, too!).
