So, should I stick to SOTS1 still?

[functional]

I still keep reading of crashes in SOTS2, missing features (that are possibly central?) and the missions "to destination and back" type is something I really want out of this game. Doesn't matter if it's realistic or not, it just seems to make more trouble than anything sensible.

Though the game doesn't give me much any delays in switching screens or anything like that. So that ain't a burden at least.

that's what I've been doing, but the last patch took a huge leap in the right direction so fire it up a decide for your self.

It won`t take more than a few weeks now to make it v1.0

Haha.
I'm just surprised by how much it costs (for a Paradox game) even though it did not do too well critically.

stick to anything else....

game is getting better but imo is not weeks from v1 , prolly months.....it's a huge mess : they fix one thing it works in one patch then in the next it's broken or they break something else, which is totally normal. atm u cannot do combat with the AI players at all for example , while u could in the previous patch but u crashed on starbases combat , now supposedly starbases are fixed but god knows what is wrong with the AI or generally the combat system....

Opinions vary. lol
So far I've had many many many combats in two seperate new games as two seperate factions/races without any real issues (other then AI isn't to smart/aggressive).

My advice:

If you are the glass is half full type, you'll do fine now and game just gets better in next couple weeks.
If you are the glass is half empy type, wait till after the 16th of Dec patch and you'll do better.

Maybe Kerberos are shipping extra special broken builds to you.

Currently AI combat seems fine to me, and I've never had a crash caused by station combat even in my capital system across any of the patches.

Crashes due to defeating all proteans yes. Crashes due to VN yes.

But can't recall the complete and utter inability to do any combat full stop yet.
