There will be a stand alone 1.04 also.
Think of the Expansion pack as GalCiv 1.1.
So we're going to do 1.04 and then we'll start putting full effort towards the expansion pack. So there won't be a 1.05, 1.06 and such, it'll jump to 1.1. Then after the expansion there will probably be a 1.11, 1.12, and so forth.
There will be another beta of GalCiv 1.04 and then if that gets the clean bill of health it'll show up for the general public.
But we're also doing other things on the backend which are creating some headaches internally (we're switching our servers to be easier to maintain in the future but a pain in the butt in the near term to resynchornize stuff).
