The graphics just keep getting better and better. I also like that the ships finally move 1 at a time instead of all at once. Makes the game flow much better.
The biggest fun improvement is the changes in expenses. Things don't take so long to build so the game moves a little faster.
Suggestions:
You need to make some of the later social projects not take so long. Even on a class 32 planet with 200 billion people on it there was no way to build some of hte later social improvements during the course of the game.
I think the higher end ships should have more maint. make them really cost a lot to keep around so that they really matter. Right now once you get battle ships there's no reason to ever build the smaller ships anymore.
I know you wrote that there were too many chnages to list but PLEASE try to keep track of what you've changed so that we can test better. I see a lot of new things but I can't tell what's happening.
Making alien players go to war does't seem to work or vice versa.
I got an alien player to give up their home world with money. Don't the aliens attach any sentimental values?
There's a cheese tactic with the research ship. I use it to attack enemy colony ships. That's kind of cheesy.
I've been submitting scores but how do I see my rankings?
And where are the other alpha testers? I received an email announcing the alpha tonight. Where are the other people posting?
