I didn't have much time to test, and it crashed badly on my computer.
How was the open beta for the ones who played it?
Was it successful at avoiding the pitfall of most MMORTS?
either they have battles than mean nothing, or units that are lead by AI when the player is not there, turning it into some kind of PvE RTS

Just to clarify for the OP. Beyond Protocol is a game. OP you should have mentioned that, thread could be taken wrong way :)

The researching, designing and mining parts sucked.

I spent days on researching alloys, designing prototypes and researching said prototypes and building stuff, and in the end I failed many times and I got sick of it.

I never got to build my damn space station.

It was awesome. I especially loved the vikings dismembering dinosaurs, quite a nice touch. The viking spaceships were pretty underpowered though, and didn't get flux capacitors til lvl 22. Ghey.

I couldn't get into it. I played it for about 1 day before never playing it again. It may have turned out to be a decent game.

Hehe, thanks. I'll give it a try, but I still think it works better on web based games. At least, they allow you to react from the office :)
