I believe TA used renderings of the units, not stylized at all, just against an environment. Also, the sound in PA isn't final as far as I know, it's all recycled stuff from their previous games.
Hope building previews will be revamped before release, especially lower tier ones like energy/metal plants and storage.
What's missing? For starters, 75% of orbital is not even implemented yet. Then there are the interplanetary ground units like gates that aren't in yet. Gunships are guaranteed as well. As for what I would like to see? Aircraft carriers, basically armed and unarmored adv air facs on water. Orbital carriers for moving lotsa units quickly. Air transport of any sort besides the darned Astraeus. And this thread..... Wow. Lol.
