That is pretty interesting and to be honest, I think they will use results by people to actually make their moon base. The shape/form, etc.

This was on sale for like a week with a special steam sale that just ended yesterday. They were pretty much giving games away.

could someone post a link? I can't find it anywhere on Steam

edit- oh i see seems it comes out tomorrow.. lol

Lol thanks for that info. Other might find it useful. But I already have Orbiter. Very cool simulator. Especially if you get the high end quality images and all the new addons

I liked it alot. I have XPlane and it had some shuttles in it, so I wanted to see if there was a more space based simulator.

It is alot of fun.

Everything was on sale pretty much, was insane, but I just looked it up and Moonbase Alpha will be free apparently according to the sites I just looked at.

Alright

So the game came out and I downloaded it right away
Gotta say, its not that bad. I know it just came out so there is not much to do, but you can waste some time playing online. The teamwork part is pretty cool, unless your working with a bunch of nubs that don't do anything and fool around...I mean an asteroid almost hit the base, REPAIRS need to be done

Overall so far the game is great Now I gotta wait till new content and add ons come out.

I played it with someone yesterday. My name on there is +Sh4nK+ if you see me say hello I wont play a lot as the replay value is not great, but I will play sometimes.
