Dear All,
This short note is just to inform you that Alien Crossfire will be shipped, and be of shippable quality, in time for the previously announced release date. In order to achieve this the FIRAXIS programming team has been hard at work and I have been using all of my powers and connections to the netherworld.
Of course, I realise that many of you do not have lives and will be looking forward to forensically debugging Alien Crossfire and that is why I have ensured that many new, additional and highly amusing bugs have been inserted into the code. We are particularly proud of our randomisation function which ensures that the program features cannot be accurately recreated in saved games. We think this will offer you all many hours of continued enjoyment.
Thank you all for your support
Aleister Crowley
Acting Head of Public Relations, FIRAXIS

Funny, but you're living very dangerously (again).

My hair is getting too long again. Please insert some not so funny bugs also so I will start pulling my hair out and not have to leave my computer to go get a hair cut.
Also, some of the bugs must be saved and inserted in later patches. Any bug that makes it past 2 patches is no longer a bug but a feature, so you will have to save some extra bugs to put in when the current crop gets declared as features.
