Found these nuggets on the Buccaneer forums. Hope you find them interesting.

Fortunately we are releasing a non-Steam version of Buccaneer in the next few weeks and it includes new code that removes the need for port forwarding. We've done some preliminary tests and so far, so good - anyone can host and anyone can see the hosted games and jump straight in. With the first tests now done, we would like to open the test up and get a few more people in and see if we can find any issues at all. So we would like to invite any and all of you chaps to take part if you have a spare hour or so over the weekend - possibly on Saturday. I will message some of you individually, as the forums have understandably gone a tad quiet recently. Hopefully the new release with modified multiplayer set up should get the Buccaneer servers jumping - enabling all of YOU guys to slaughter some fresh noobs, as most of you are now technically "veterans".<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

... we have another download channel in the next couple of weeks that doesn't involve having a Steam browser...Also the Steam guys will be able to play against the new guys in multiplayer too...It's a great update <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Should really get the multiplayer going hopefully.
... oh, and yeah, boxed version in the summer...I'm not sure on the details of how it'll be distributed or how it'll work if you've bought it online etc.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Well, this new version is completely stand alone. In fact, we're releasing the completely stand alone Demo next week in time for GDC, you'll still be able to play against the steam guys, we're going to give away EVERY multiplayer map in this demo and all demo guys can host or play for free, but will have to buy the game to unlock all multiplayer ships, as they'll only have 2 a side. All demo and full game guys will also now be playing in one 'Buccaner Universe' so it no longer needs people to purchase the game to host either...Should seriously ramp up the numbers, although the guys who have bought it will have much better ships. We need to get this stand alone demo out there though to get the name about....Hopefully this will turn the multiplayer game around and start filling up the servers... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /><!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
