What about the AI? Still suck? Is there a mod out there yet (Balance?) that makes a decent AI?

And how is the UI now? Does it still make everything difficult?

Thanks,

AMF

The UI has become very functional with many short cuts, customizable sorting, and right click menu's. I found myself zapping through things without feeling frustrated, as the intuitiveness of the UI became apparent. I was having fun, and I found that a lot of the annoyances that used to drive me away from playing were not present. I cannot speak to the AI, for me it seemed ok and somewhat challenging at times. So far I am seriously enjoying my game. And that is a first.

You could say I'm less picky. I've been playing since it came out and I haven't noticed any sudden change in things like the UI and menu. Perhaps it's just been more gradual for me.

I have been playing the game since the first beta version, and have played at least one game with each beta version since then. This is the first time I found myself actually playing without realizing how much time had passed. I found that I was enjoying the game at a level that I had never experienced prior to the 1.61 beta. I think a lot of people will be happy once the next official patch comes out.

Scientists Agree: SEV 1.56+ + Balance Mod 1.10+ = Win
