• It's just a reprint of the News from the official site ([1]). Yes, the devs made a mistake. This is, however, the first time that anything of this sort has happened since the game opened up for pre-alpha testing in mid-2002. --Roguelazer 04:16, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

Maybe this is typical of minor video game articles on Wikipedia, but this article amounts to little other than an advertisement for the game. After being a public product for 2 years, this game still is fraught with annoying problems with the user interface. Conversely, this article doesn't really mention any of the cool things about the game either, like the designers' bravery in designing a game with somewhat realistic (and therefore unfamiliar) space flight. Similarly, the WGAF article is also very bad. From WGAF, quote: "WGAF also has unique network code. All data is sent over UDP instead of TCP, allowing for packets to arrive out-of-sequence..." This is an incredibly uninformed statement. No commercial game uses TCP to send time-critical info to clients, they ALL use UDP.

There. Now you have some information on the different aspects of the game, at least. Advertisement it might be still, but it is also true. - 18:34, 5 Nov 2006 (GMT+1)
