The news are pretty much silent and i havnt read any dev comments besides patchnotes in a while now. Since there is no devtracker, i cant even find the "hidden posts" in random topics. So yeah...i was wondering... A loooong time ago there were many different plans and concepts. Asteroids for example, i can even remember something about armed moons and changing orbits... Also, wasnt there a plan to implement a lot more units than what we currently have to give even more strategical choices? The last "big thing" i think was the Unit Cannon, right? But whats the next step? Do we know anything about it? What the devs are working on besides bugfixes, AI and balancing? So Content stuff? (I know that the Developement is not dead, im just curious, i want to know what we can expect to be excited about)
Well the current 'big thing' they've been doing is save / load- including the ability to *resume from anywhere* (currently available in the PTE). These aren't headline features from a multi player point of view, but things that the single player crowd have been wanting for ages. There have been a few posts from @jables mentioning his general ideas after they've finished up the work on this- I think improvements to the Galactic War are next on the hit list. This is the issue with PA- it's a very *big* game that caters to lots of different groups of people.
Yeah, asteroids have been confirmed as something they want to put in relatively soon. Does not mean that they will definitely be in, but it is likely that they will be coming.
Hope they will also do something for variety then. For some reason i noticed that the "Boombots" are pretty much a fast win thing that you can hardly counter... And somehow...im bored. I cant try new things because its so limited, i dont have terrain to adapt to... Any news what happened to the terrain and planets variety? There were donut shaped once a while ago.
