Whatever Happened to the planetary battles?

from GalCiv3 Forums

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?

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.

If by expansion you mean like a dlc then no it wont be like that 

it will probobly be out in 1.5 or 1.6 for some reason i think it will be with commanders but im not sure on that 

there should be a list somewhere that has it

Glad to know it will be patched in when it's ready.

i am perfectly fine with that.
