Installed latest beta 0.980 and started up a game. Then I was asked to answer yes or no to a question about Auto Login or something. This was needed for mod play, blah, blah, blah and..... MULTIPLAYER it said. My heart jumped and started to beat faster then light. Made me so excited to see this, lightened up a little hope for multiplayer in this game. It would be pure awesome to play this excellent game with friends and other hardcore fans. It would be suspensefull indeed trying to expand and defend at the same time vs human players  I cross my fingers!
