Kyzrati:
Well unfortunately the most recent seeds have gotten no attention, though I imagine the half-completed caves didn't give Alpha 7 quite enough life to last through to Alpha 8 :P.
I'm rather excited to get back into the seeds beginning with the next one, however, since the caves are mostly complete and offer some new toys.
I've done one Alpha 8 run so far, yesterday as a pre-release test, and broke the Cogmind all-time high score record with an almost-win at 38k. Spent a lot of time wandering the caves and got some nice intel, gear, and friends for it, but I admit I also triggered a war in Research, which helped pass through one floor relatively unscathed. Hunters were not as much of a problem for my combat build as I feared. I only lost because I had no reliable way to find the final exit, and was running around hoping to get lucky :P. Spent 4,000 turns in Access alone, much of the time at Alert Level 5 annihilating squad after squad. Oh man I wish that was a seed run!

Got lucky and found a ton of launchers on the way, and also really enjoying having 800 matter stores with a good compressor.
Now I need to try this again for the leaderboards ;) (and with a proper seed--this one was random since I wasn't using 7b...)
