Everything going along, early game. 3 colonies, hard won. Constant alien attack. Located 2 other Factions.
Very much liking how things are progressing. The amount of harassment seems to me to be consistent
with establishing a beachhead on an alien planet.

Nice Voice over work.

Launched Pandora and got a small .1 upgrade. Its very early in the game, but here are some differences I have noticed.

My landing site was not on a shoreline as has always been before. The landscape was much more lush; my previous landings were nearly always surrounded by barren hexes.

Once that happens how does it matter that I happen to be playing on an alien planet? Apart from the landscape, It is the roving ...

The Military Faction declares war then peace every few turns.
The announcement that Tera Sxxx has completed a Nuclear facility repeats every few turns.

Pros

Enjoy the opening animation. Sets the scene well.

Alien life very nicely rendered and animated. Plausible and coherent ecology presented.
As well...colony troopers and vehicle tech is well rendered. Alien buildings ...
