I noticed that steam had updated Rebellion, and the title screen says it's now version 1.02, so I went and checked the main balance issues that have been repeatedly hammered in almost since Beta 3 began. Nano leech? Same as before. Strip to the core? Research is in the same place as before, and still gives you insane resources if you can just ninja-colonize a planet and hold it for 40 seconds. Starbase mobilization and Unyielding Will seem to have remained as they were in 1.0 - that is to say, still on polar opposite ends of the power spectrum.
Suggestions on how to fix each these abilities can be found all over the forums - there's a thread open right now on fixes to Starbase Mobilization. ANY of them would be preferable to what we have now. Yet the ostensible balance patch has hit, and nothing significant has changed. WHY? :bangsheadagainstwall:
