Having played super hard on a 5 (5teams) player game I have to say I was thoroughly impressed and engaged with the update. Either I’m getting better or the balancing is better. 
the planet killers are very frustrating as the ai builds them everywhere but the star bases make it manage but there seems to be no counter to it. There were solutions for sins 1. 
as it took so long to get to the end of the game i exhausted all the technology tree. 

many thanks are we getting a December Christmas development present?
