I realized I've been pretty nitpicky in a bunch of threads here, so I just wanted to set the record straight.
I only recently came back to Starsector after a 3+ year break and I'm enjoying myself a lot. The sector feels a lot more alive and interconnected and building up colonies is surprisingly fun, especially since it makes exploration more meaningful as well. It's a lot bigger too, of course. There's now a storyline of sorts to follow and plenty of secrets to discover along the way. Blowing up stuff is as fun as it ever was, even when the AI has different ideas on how to go about it.
It's probably not as noticeable for those of you who've stuck around this whole time, but I'm thoroughly impressed how much better this game is compared to the last time I played. And I already liked it back then. I'm on my 4th playthrough now and not planning to stop any time soon, so yeah, hell of a dev job!
