Its been almost half of a year since this game was released and it is still far from being finished. Iam not talking even about streamlining and fine tuning things. Most game titles need at least 6 months to be patched properly so all the minor errors and ballance issues are taken care of. But SotS 2 is not even complete. I dont understand the working schedule of professional game making but i do understand how to adress customers needs as it is part of my job. I do as well understand why the game was released early allthough if it would have been my decision i would have not done it like that. But that has been adressed already before. I want to express how disappointed iam with the actual state of the game and the developement of the patches. First of all it seems to me that those patches are meant to satisfy those people who are playign the game already and do not care about diplomacy system, government or AI not being present so far.
Just have a look at the latest patch log. Iam sorry, maybe iam the only one but i do not care really by now if turrets are invisible in the tactical fleet setup. I dont care so much if there are minor targeting issues for missiles or anything. Those are things that have to be taken care of later after the most important parts of the game are up and running. Put the diplomacy into it, make the government system working, make some decent scenarios, finish the freakin tech tree and make the techs work! Stop adjusting screws..as long as the chassis is missing.
Errr, government system is in and so is diplomacy (seriously, I got a multi player game with my brother and an AI and currently I'm ten turns into cease fire with the Zuul AI) there are a few techs that don't work properly but afaik the entire tech tree is in. Only thing missing from your list are scenarios.
