Thats really cool. When is the alpha ready?

OK, looking forward to it.

Alright, everything looks stable.
Now, where to upload?
I think there were some suggestions in the thread.

Also - can anyone tell me, where can I upload the files so everyone can download them to test?

Github has a releases page where you can post binaries for your project. You'd need to setup the repository first, of course, though uploading source code is not required (assuming you want to keep the project closed).
Other than that there's Dropbox, but it's unreliable at times (temporarily locks out the file if it gets really popular (~ >1000)).
There's Mediafire, but there've been somewhat numerous reports of people who have had trouble with it. Though it seems to be working out okay for CE.
Sourceforge has historically been a place where one could find almost every free application worth a damn, but in recent months it fell out of grace (they were caught attaching adware to installers of popular programs).
Finally, there's Mega, which is a pretty good service, though it has an irky way of downloading the files, which some people might not appreciate.

While alpha is uploading...

What is in alpha:
1. Server aplication
2. Client aplication

What is needed to play:
Java 7 or up.

What can you do in alpha:
1. PVP
2. Jump arround in an empty universe
3. Make some ships in the ship editor
4. Get familliar with the mechanics
5. Get familliar with modable files
6. Something else?

IMPORTANT!
Controls are fixed for now
Moving - WASD
Open door in front of you - E
Repair system in the room that you are in - Hold R
Open interface of the system in the room that you are in - Q
Menu - Esc
In system interfaces there are some screens (ex. star map) that you can navigate by mouse dragging or using WASD


I hope there will be some testers for PVP at least 3 vs 3
Would be great if some one could test 4 vs 4 vs 4 .. etc
Any test results and feedback are welcome.
And if you have any questions feel free to ask.
