Looks awesome guys, keep up the awesome work :)
I almost cried tears of Joy today, because i could join a Game AND kill things. The Gameplay is awesome and i wish you all the best Guys. You deserve it.
Sad to hear this, however:

Now, if you fix the memory leak on the server, I think you can safely go into a well deserved vacation for a week or two :)

I still want a hovering scorpion with no wings!!
Can't wait to play it after work. Now have a beer for god's sake!
edit: nice site stats! <a href="http://www.ns2.unfine.de/" target="_blank">link</a>
ps
GET THIS VIDEO TO GAMETRAILERS.COM that should give you at least thousnds in views and get the beta out there!
They've done open betas for other games with preorders.
And REMEMBER THE GOLDEN RULES OF GAMING that were taught by such pioneers as Half-life 1, NS, and My Little Pony.
Hell, I'm considering pre-ordering for my brother (early Christmas, anyone?) and I would probably do Constellation for both of us as well.

Also, UWE. You will have my undying support forever. Seriously.
Games like Natural Selection formed a great part of my Childhood, and NS2 will definitely bring me tears of Joy even though I am getting older now (20 already?! YOU SERIOUS?!)
Please bring back constellation so I can donate on a weekly basis. :D
I've been trying to play this since the start of Alpha. Haven't been able to. Now, even with the release of this patch, I keep getting connection errors. So the whole "The fade is in the game" is lost to people like me who says, "I don't care. Just give me a game I can connect to".
You asked me in one thread to wait until the beta patch posts and then see what I think. It arrived. I'm still unable to get the game past the main menu. Seriously.
For those who say it's my computer, I am WELL above the minimum specs listed for the alpha.
So I will say this.. It's still not ready for Beta. UW lost allot of respect in my eyes when they stuck with a deadline that they shouldn't have.
See if you can scrape together enough from the remaining funds, forget about the game for the night, and go have a few drinks - you deserve it ! :-)
Hell, i'm sure a few of us will be willing to provide a slush fund for beer for you !
