There is one thing this game really needs and it's an UI overhaul.
Is this game fixed enough to be worth getting yet?
I think it's worth getting it because one day it'll be the 4x game of 2011
[QUOTE=turtlehead;34129113]Is this game fixed enough to be worth getting yet?[/QUOTE] From what my friends are telling me, it made it out of the closed alpha and beta stages already and can be considered an open beta now. No longer crashes any time you sneeze and is pretty playable already.
Most new features have yet to be implemented still, the UI needs some serious work, They still need to actually introduce the Sulka instead of calling the Zuul the Sukla, maintaining node lanes is a pain in the ass for Zuul (MAJOR PAIN IN THE ASS OH MY GOD), distributing gates as Hiver is a pain in the ass, exploration is a pain in the ass. Pretty much all ship interstellar movement is a pain in the ass at the moment. Ah... lets see... Oh, trading doesn't seem to be working yet either.
Don't forget the 20 second wait between screens
such a shame seeing as how absolutely brilliant the first game was
[QUOTE=Virtanen;34147552]such a shame seeing as how absolutely brilliant the first game was[/QUOTE] If I recall correctly, the first SotS was in a similar state at first release, hell, a good number of paradox games are, doesn't make them any less awesome and fun once they get it patched to a playable state. I'm thinking of finally taking a crack into this, since it seems it's had enough time to get patched up to an okay state.

But yeah, wait 2 months at most and it should definitely be a great game, and patches seem to be picking up steam (ha) once again now that Christmas is over.
