Right now moving things between planets is so slow, it gets pretty tedious and boring. Are we going to see something like in the kickstarter video where you can load up 20 units into a cannon, bring up a fancy interface and fire them at various planets/asteroids with a few clicks? That would be awesome. Comparing that video to the game in it's current state I feel like that is the one big feature that is still missing. If two commanders end up controlling separate planets in the late game your options are hit them with an asteroid or the game will just stall forever. I want to be able to escape to another planet, build up a huge army and invade their home planet, that would be epic.
Unit Cannan and Gates are right on the top of the news section on the pa home page My guess is next week, maybe the week after. That is just a guess though.
The cake is not a lie! But...... It is currently made of metal and surrounded by turrets. So...., good luck getting to it and eating it at the moment.
