Hello -

First off thanks for the opportunity to Beta test. Here's a couple thoughts:

First 5 minutes - I was immediately brought back in time to Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri with an updated look.
First 30 minutes - the game feels a lot more focused on the military side when compared to similar titles
First hour - I like the design feature, similar to what was found in A.C.
Is there an auto scout option? or a Patrol for ships/air? After some searching this was not immediately apparent (I've not done an exhaustive search). In the production, is there a plan to change the order within the queue, all I could apparently do was delete and re-create.
I do like the operation options, nice touch.
Any plans for wonder? I'd have to say that after many years, Alpha Centauri put all of these elements together with a compelling story - cut scenes, philosophical whimsy (Pandora does have some this which I thought is nice).

Altogether nice effort.

I missed something like Wonders as well. But due to the random skill system it's hard to provide a tense race to reach the unlock phase. Also due to the imbalance of the + %work tile it would be quite one sided.
So while I think something like World Wonders would be nice, I am pretty sure that it would not work in the current game design. It would just push the snowball effect.

I think a concept of wonders or better say, sectret Projects, would fit Pandora well!
Im missing also a culturell component...
