Well it's worth a shot perhaps, I haven't started playing it yet but I will do.
Will the game end though when you hit a certain age?

I remember a similar problem with one of the early s4 betas, but for some reason I can't find any of the extra special ability buttons such as taunt or use ship's, I just get repeating text. I wonder if there is a problem there sinse I do remember a similar issue once in s4 in one of the early betas.
