I'm sure we will get more alien-looking aliens in the future.

But the thing is that recognizable alien portraits are likely the most played. Wiz told us that humans used to be the most played ones, followed by humanoids and space foxes. Of course it doesn't mean that we don't like to see alien-looking AI empires, but my guess is that overall, people prefer to play with creatures they can identify with. Bad news for people (like me) who like weird alien stuff, but that's how it works.

I am not very thrilled. Paradox should focus the next several patches just on fixing bugs. No new features. No massive rebalancing, no goodies. Just fixing bugs. Maybe a dozend at a time. So we can even track the progress. 1.6 Patchnotes were nice and overwhelming, but there where so called "Fixed" bugs, that are still in game...

*facepalm* What do you think this multiplayer system is? It's trying to fix the horrible multiplayer system that is in the game already. That *is* bugfixing.

I admit I've played foxes three times. Never ever chosen the human portraits. Humans are freaking boring. I've mostly played disgusting bugs and a few fungi.
 
Is this going to make it easier for players to sync their mods or modlist with each other? That's pretty much the most important thing I want out of the multiplayer interface that isn't there. Currently, unless you want to spend half an hour or more making sure everyone has exactly the right mods, you pretty much have to do multiplayer modless.
 
Polite request! Could we kindly keep things on the topic of the Multiplayer Beta, rather than the portrait. By all means fire up another thread about the latter, it's just that it makes it much quicker for Devs to get relevant information here if they don't need to read about the pluses/minuses of SpaceShrimp. ;)

I saw a game in the lobby, it said "Starting" and when I tried to join it said "game not found". I refreshed the list and it was still there.

Thanks for reporting! Have you been able to join any game? I would appreciate if I can reach out in a PM and get some further details on your hardware (for example if you're behind a restrictive firewall).

Cute? CUTE!?

Let's see if you think they're still "cute" when they're advance started Fanatical Purifiers who are neighboring your worlds and think it's time to cleanse the galaxy of xeno scum for the High Executioner.

You know who'll be on the plate? Not lobster!

...unless of course you're using the lobster portrait too, in which case, yea... it be lobster...
 
I'm having a weird issue with the new beta build. My steam account is already linked to my paradox account, so when I'm in the game launcher it shows it as connected. After I'm in the main menu, I can join and host mp games fine, but I cannot see the friends list.

Same issue here. Did not get a link option (as it is already linked) and the friendlist button (assuming that's what the new button with a '0' is) does not doanything.

If you had an actual bug tracker instead of a forum it may be even easier for Devs to get relevant information instead of ignoring posts in the bug report forum.
 
Soooo, just tried with a friend. We can add each other as friends and chat, but we do appear as offline to the other person.

However, while I am seeing the nickname he has chosen, he only sees a very long number for me. In my friends list my name is correct though.

Also, we cannot join each others games: "Game not found"

Feel free to PM me.
