The Master of Orion III Website now offers new PC and Mac patches for Quicksilver's space strategy game sequel (thanks Frans), coining the phrase "Official BETA" to describe its status, followed by the obvious note that the final version of the patch is to follow. Word is: "This patch is incompatible with the previous data patch (see the enclosed read me for full installation instructions). The installation validator will be updated, possbily (sic) by next week, in order to accommodate (sic) the patch." Word is the update includes a new history screen, rewritten/expanded help text, improved enemy AI behavior, improved navigation and increased economic information, and more.
