I asked this in one of the existing beta threads, and I'm fairly sure its coming out today on Impulse (I'm under the impression that stardock usually puts out updates at ~6 pm EDT, but you never know) and some point later on SDC.

So SDC won't see 2.0 until the beta is done and 2.0 goes live.

*edit*

Hrm, had to remove my quote from this thread since I couldn't get 2 quotes in for some odd reason.

So hopefully today then?

By 6pm eastern or tomorrow by the same time but most likely its 6pm just little over an hour away... DONT MAKE ME BEG!

The 6PM thing is as in "not before 6PM usually" I've seen releases come out later on average. The SD guys are workaholics and seem to work some long hours at times .

Not happening tonight- just got word.  Don't expect anything tomorrow either- prob not until Monday.

hum now that I know that the beta won't be on SDC

does that mean that given time SDC will be dropped ? and that impulse is now your delivering platform of choice ?

They said it's going to happen someday.  The final 2.0 will be on SDC, just not the betas.

Impulse has improved a lot from when it's first launched though, so there's little need for SDC now, unless you're running a computer so old that GC2 won't run on it easily.

I'm just running SDC because that's the software I was used to, and since I don't know what exactly are the plus and cons of impulse ...

Its new, its improved and its the only one functional in a few.

SDC wont be used anymore.

You can access the beta right now, but you have to uninstall the game first if you used SDC to get it, and then re-install through Impulse.

Just don't do it all at once

I knew there had to be some drawback, tell me do I have to redownload too because the archive format ain't the same ?

SDC is then better IMO, now when impulse is going to recognize automatically by itself that the games are already on my hard drive, then we'll talk

Now it's too bad I didn't know that when I filled the poll 

 You can access the beta right now, but you have to uninstall the game first if you used SDC to get it, and then re-install through Impulse.

  Can anyone provide confirmation here. The beta is available as of today but only if you installed the game using Impulse? And if so can someone provide more details about some features in the beta that we haven't heard about yet.

It's there.  I'm a little confused about the colony governors though.  Is there a way to view or set them without having to click on each planet and go under Details?

Impulse detects everything automatically on my PC.

SDC, also.
