Alpha 3.9 introduced a good amount of new content, functionality, and improvements to existing features. Not only did we add the Klescher Rehabilitation Facility and prison escape gameplay, we also unveiled the New Babbage landing zone, microTech’s moons, the Unified Friends List for better initiation of group play, the new “Price of Freedom” Caterpillar mission, and more. For this first postmortem, we’re taking a broader and more high-level look at the most prominent features of Alpha 3.9.X; we aren’t as exhaustive or comprehensive here and may tweak the format while we find the right mix between giving meaningful insight and not getting bogged down in the details. Here, we’ve asked our directors to weigh in on what went well, what didn’t, and what we learned.
