I would also like to sign up. I've been waiting for a new version since .9 came out and I didn't like it all that much (the scaling was weird IMO... Star Destroyers were tiny!). I made a Mantis account with the same name as this one.
Whenever I click on the downloads, they just have the page load endlessly. I have a fairly decent computer (fast enough that the internet runs impeccably ), but I thought it might be because I'm using Firefox. Should I try using IE?
