'''Final conversion of the STNE code - Call for a big round of Testing!'''

STNE is searching for players for the Test-System! The programming code of STNE has been completely revised from VB to C#. The revision work has taken place in the past few weeks with careful work and through numerous tools; nevertheless, with the current 214,000 lines of coding it is still possible that there may be hundreds of small errors. Many have been found thanks to a small test-team, but now we are calling for volunteers for a bigger test team - We ask that any player who can contribute time and has the motivation to, to register on the testing server and help test. The more players participate the better.

The test will officially start on Sunday the 31.03.2012 at around 13 O'clock but can already be started as soon as you register.

*Use the Chat to communicate
*In the upper tab is a function to turn on the "DesignMode". Using this tool you will be able to build/research quicker as well as use an endless amount of personal ticks. Before testing make sure to turn off the designmode, else the result may not be a representable.
*What's to test? One word: "Everything". Errors can occur in every kind of way that you can think off.
*Do not submit problems which also occur on the live servers, this is not the goal of the test server to fix them.
*Are there new features to test? No. Simple test every current function.
*Is there a reward for testing? Yes - A minimum of bugs in the new patch.
*The testing period is limited, but there is no set ending date in view.
*To test buys (credits, ships, fp, etc.): Simply hit "buy" and insert any necessary data. No transaction will be booked through the test server.
