Whatever Happened to the planetary battles?

During the early access the dev-streams talked about how the planetary battles would be "similar to space battles".

For a short time there was a rudimentary but broken system in place that had some really basic animations and real time info.

The last time I had a planetary battle It was nothing more than a win/lose splash screen.

What happened and when can we expect that promised feature?

Long story short

the old system was broken , there are plans for a new system Not sure when but they remeoved it in the mean time

My fear has been that the feature that was supposed to be in the final release would be pushed to an expansion.

This was one of the things I was really looking forward too.

Far to often in 4x space sims we get over simplified invasion mechanics.

At this point master of orion 2's animation would be preferable and although I am sure I will by the expansions I would prefer to have it as it was intended in the core product.
