Ongoing patches/expansions et cetera

Has there been any official word on what they're planning or how much is going into after-release features/content/improvements? 

 

I think the game could be a lot better with a few months more development, and it's already pretty good, but it hasn't reached its potential. I've looked for information regarding this and saw two conflicting reports, 1 with Frogboy saying 3 expansions plus lots of new stuff, another with some guy claiming they've moved on and have 1 guy doing patches. 

 

Also a few quick suggestions for patches: 

1. Separate colony improvements in the UI by wealth/manufacture/science/etc plus multi-specialty.

2. Allow faster shipyard rallying with clicking anywhere on map or at least improve the rally UI element (often have to click starbase twice for it to show starbases, adn the buttons are really small while the list shows far less planet/starbase than it could).

3. Separate ships in the shipyard UI to make it easier to find ships, i.e. noncombat/small/medium/large 

4. AI doesn't handle the adjacency system very well and doesn't seem to specialize planets. I usually have to demolish most of the buildings when I take their planets.

 

And finally, is it just me or does "quick move" option not work

Hold the phone. I made a post on a thread about one person being on the team. It is NOT correct. I was attempting to explain the length of time between patches. 

 

The team is still in place and they are working as we speak on more patches and of course MORE content. I made the mistake and I am happy to remove the post. 

 

Moving on. This game will have many DLC, and at least 3 major expansions. This does NOT include the innumerable patches we will see for free fixing stuff and adding content. 

 

The CEO of Stardock personally takes a great deal of pride in the AI and it will (in the words of the developers) 'Never be done'. It will be a continuous living AI which will get better as we move forward. 

 

Posting ideas on improvements and such is always a good idea.

The core of this community is quite happy to be corrected and to admit a mistake.   I know I am, or at least I try to be.    Ironic, maybe, but this is evidence that the discussions are generally higher quality than you get in most forums.  People who own up are more believeable, not less.

Since he owned up to a mistake instead of casting blame somewhere else then i really dont think he is fit to be a politician.
