Wow, not the update I expected, but one that is full of hope.
It might just be time for me to dust off the servers and come back online. I've kept collecting all the data during that downtime, and there might be quite a backlog to process, hopefully it won't take more than a few weeks to crunch the numbers.

You spoke about this concept of a "HEX 2". Why would you need for there to be a HEX 2?

I would speculate that it's because the code base for the original HEX is a mess. What little insights I've had into it, it's not gracious. The original reason why the alpha got delayed by several months way back in 2013 was because the code that they received from some third party contractor was very bad, and they had to rewrite some of it, but I suspect that a lot of that old legacy code is still tangled up in there, and at some point it becomes better for the long term to scrap everything and re-write HEX 2 from scratch than to try to keep maintaining the legacy code.
