What else before release?

We know we aren’t getting the following before release:

Unit cannon
Mega bot
Shields
Multi-unit transports


So other than balancing and stability/polishing the only feature I can think off is ranked ladders.

Any other features we know are still to be added before release?

saddly, i dont think will ever get sheilds (good thing in PAs case),
we most likely wont get mega bot for a LONG while,
unit cannon....that really does depend on Uber,
and Multi-unit transports are coming actually.

Asteroid belts maybe?

they said they were workin on that before release

That would be good.

Stability/bug fixes, performance, and game balance are definite changes that will be done.

Aside from that... dunno. I really hope astroid belts, proportional planet smashing, and a ladder/matchmaking are added in.

Needs more bacon.

I would hope for cliffs on planets. But I don't know if this is on their list at the moment.

I agree. This should be priority #1 for Uber at the moment.

@duncane: I kinda agree with mjshorty. It's kinda good that PA doesn't have shields. I personally think that shields would not only detract from the game but make the game infinitely more difficult. So I reckon it's for the best that they don't put shields in.

Functional Metal Planets? I think Asteroid belts are the 'biggest' upcoming thing apart from optimization and stability.

We need more late game planetary invasion ability. Overlooking this issue would be a mistake, in my opinion.

You may find this of assistance.

Is that even kept up to date?

[CONFIRMED] Diplomacy and alliances (including donating units, etc, to sway enemies)

We have that already, and it isn't updated. So no, it's not updated.

But, if your list isn't more complete, you should read his as see if it remembers anything yours doesnt.

It is updated from time to time. I'd suggest that @KNight might want to take a look at updating it again soon

So does my blackeyed beans, but you don't see me going to the grocery store for a refund

If you want a game with the most bacon, go play SMNC. If you play it regularly, you get more bacon in that game than most others.

Hopefully this kind of desert biome ^^

Wait, you haven't found the bacon?

Sad thing is that we were closer to this in Alpha/Beta before they made changes to the desert biome which is now entirely flat.

Since that 3D pathing came in, who knows? Maybe we'll see this again!
