Decided to take a peek at the new beta version today.
Joined the server and decided to build Junction and Ahaza. Had 1 troop in my engy and set to it. First problem I encountered is that when I moved form Junction to Ahaza forgot about lifting my troop, so did as I was moving, got to Ahaza and tryed to drop the troop. Well thats exactly what happened, my troop dropped below me and continued to fall until it dissappeared.
Built a barracks on Junction to make a new Troop. Got dicso'd and reconnected again right where I left off. But barracks wouldnt let me add more troops to list. Decided to reorbit just in case, and it wouldnt let me. Tried to Orbit Ahaza, wouldnt let me. Decided to log of and reconnect. The Map had changed??
This all happened in about 10 minutes of play, and I was only one there, so map end wasn't the reason. Minor point, but all the build pres I got from that map was gone. I had already built Lesser and some of Junction.
If anyone could shed a little light, would be most grateful.
Im gonna give it another go, hopefully this goes a little better.
BTW why is your rank 0 when you start beta, just curious.

You can't orbit Ahaza because the gas giant is actually bigger then it appears. Its rim extends just past Ahaza. As for everything else...???

lol, thugonomics should know a lot about beta.
Your prestige is 0 because Beta is completely seperate from from the normal DS.
You should be able to orbit Ahaza, just not land troops on it last time I checked.
The map changed because either A) The map time expired or B) The server crashed and reverted back to the default map.
Last week on Beta, the Beta had been acting wierd.

Pres is enabled, in the sense that you can gain it just fine within beta.
However, since its a completely independant system (to avoid having any beta bugs interfere with the data or running of the release side of things), all profiles are started at 0 over there. During the stress test, there should be admins around to give you a few points starter prestige to help you out; until then, you'll just have to re-experience your initial playing time, and have fun with scouts.
