Although given how much more powerful Cannons are compared to Lasers (seriously, lasers are borderline useless in this game), you'd REALLY have to pump a lot into Lasers over Cannons to make that happen.

Answering your questions in order to. 1) Unlike Civ BE, no, it doesn't feel like a mod of a previous game. It plays quite a bit like Ace Patrol, but there's quite a few extra things that involve more than just the paint job that CiV got to become BE. 2) Compared to BE, oh yes. It's not really...

Again, I mean "problem" from a game design point of view, not as how much of pain they are to use or fight against.

Sure but, meaning no offense, that was you, not the gaming community as whole. I'm sure there are still people out there that haven't gotten back to CiV after they got their hands on BE, but that doesn't change the fact that, overall, Beyond Earth failed to grab the people who loved CiV. Not...

According to the community announcement on Steam, it's just a bunch of minor bug fixes for the game. Almost a month after the game has been out. Exciting stuff, isn't it! :sarcasm:

And THERE'S kind of the problem. You have to wait quite a long time until they really become relevant, and even then you have to pick between having them as regular "fighters" or the game's equivalent of "bombers", instead of having two different units for different roles. Just like it would...

Oh I'm not saying that Starships was misleading. Hell, comparatively speaking, it feels like a much better game than Beyond Earth, given its price point and what it was trying to achieve. However, it still really felt like a very "meh" game, if you'll allow that expression. It's fun at times...

Don't get me wrong, I don't have the stigma towards mobile games that a lot of people seem to have. There's nothing wrong with making a game that's aimed at a different audience that plays a bit more casually, as long as it's well-made, I'm fine with it. Hell, I might not like playing stuff like...

Yeah... but then again, if they're granting you their "benevolent permission" to mod the game, I'm guessing they're already "allowing" you to edit the files. Until they feel like they don't want to anymore. Seriously, this licensing system sucks. :mad:

But they did have the time, there were preview builds and pre-orders for at least a month before the game was out, so they could have just mixed the two. Again, kill two birds with one stone: get PLENTY of feedback on the game itself AND you get to put "pre-order now and get access to the...

*M. Night Shyamalan enters the room* "What a twist!"

PLOT TWIST: The Seeding is what cause The Great Mistake, not the other way around. :p

Perhaps, but one VERY clear miss with no real fix after, what, six months? When the patches fail to bring any real meat to what's basically the skeleton of a game? Followed by a so-so port of a tablet (because that's what it is, don't come to me with this "they were developed at the same time"...

Oh, you really me to, do you? Alright, then you're just being disingenuous, glad we straightened that out, we don't have to take your opinion seriously anymore. And seriously, trying to use "they make a killing out of DLC that gradually comes out as the game grows" to compare Iceberg with the...

That sounds more like a problem with Cannons being unbalanced when compared to lasers, rather than a design decision meant to make the player adapt to the situation. Because then you have situations like having your players go "yay, I got cannons on my fighters, this is going to be great" or...
