Chemical Reaction Update - Open Beta

Starting today, anyone can opt in the Open Beta for the next update, containing a new scenario called Chemical Reaction and a new unit type: the Chemical Trooper.

It also includes a highly requested feature: the option for units to prioritize certain types of enemies automatically.

We need all the feedback we can get and the sooner we can add that extra touch of polish the sooner we can release it officially and move on to new content and features, so don't hesitate and opt in the beta with this procedure:

- Right click on Starship Troopers: Terran Command in your Steam Library
- Click on Properties
- Click on Betas
- Click on drop-down menu and select "Beta - Open Beta"
- Then Steam should automatically update the game and download the beta

If you'd like to tell us what you think, we will be collecting all the feedback on Discord, so don't forget to jump on our [url=https://discord.gg/ZqKTQPRBqj]Discord channel[/url] if you haven't done it already.
