The Battlecruiser Online Website (thanks Frans) has an update on how their upcoming Universal Combat products will be distributed, following their split with publisher DreamCatcher (story). Here's the deal:

We are in the process of stripping some Dreamcatcher created content (e.g. main menu graphic, animation logo, EULA etc) from the recently Gold UCAWA build. Once that is complete, the installer updated, everything tested etc, we will be releasing the product via our e-commerce partners.

The products page now has the final pricing info for the next two upcoming products (UCG and UCAWA). UCG is $19.99; and UCAWA is $29.99.

There will no longer be a UC to UCAWA upgrade product available (previously priced at $19.99). As such, UCAWA will be approximately 650MB download size. For those on a dial-up connection, most e-commerce sites have the ability to burn your purchase to CD-ROM. Some charge a fee; some others do not. We will be publishing a list of all e-commerce partners carrying the product, when the links go live.

There are currently NO plans to release a boxed retail version of UCG or UCAWA.

UCAWA is expected to be available in June.

UCG is also expected to be available in June; with July being the worse case scenario.
