Yep
Got Gold on Wed.
Got my butt handed to me by the Aquiliaen (sp?) on Thursday. Glad to see they have Ground Combat fixed (sort of , damn AI invaded and took 3 of my planets within 10 turns

). Drones are interesting (and annoying). Don't really like that they take damage like units (ie, die once full damage is taken, don't lose components like ships, makes Ionic/Tach weapons useless against them.)
Until the next patch Ionic weapons are WAY too powerful!! (no engines=no supplies=DEAD).
