And the cherry on top of this turd is that they use the exact same generic faction intros in every campaign, it doesn't matter if you play necrons, nids or imperials, it's the same thing. Due to how generic every single gameplay system is, the lack of mission variety and the personality-less ships, they lack everything that made the campaign in the first one work.

NOPE! Fleet sizes are about the same they were in the first game without cheats to escalate things and force the AI to spawn much larger fleets in elite mode.Īnd the campaigns are nothing to write home about either. As for their promises of "larger battles". Gone is the persistent skirmish fleet that you could level up, but that was obvious from customization vanishing. Gone are the days of increasing weapon ranges, altering the ram properties of ships, getting new tools in the arsenal for every ship. 10 upgrades max? That all revolve around generic % bonuses. Their sorry excuse for taking out skillpoints, mods and skills is now generic tech tree with some. Now every ship is generic, and the flagship is the only one with 2 special skills that the admiral spawns with. Customization: gone are the days of customizing and leveling each ship. Just 2 mission types, one of which is generic kill everything, and the other is their retarded immersion breaking MP only VP mode that makes no sense in space and that the AI can't properly handle - "pro" tip: let him get in the cap circle, line up torpedoes and nova cannons, unleash hell. Now what was taken out? Let's see: mission variety. Yes they added more factions and a FEW ships.

their promises of improving on everything in the original were. Honestly I feel like I just might refund the game. Toyed around with some stuff myself but it seems freezing some values can lead to crashes, as can altering them incorrectly. This way a table can be made without having to bypass that ugly thing, and you get rid of random crashes during the campaign.

The major point I was trying to make and realize I failed to make it is that it might just be better to tell people to put their game in offline mode if they want to cheat, and grab the part of the crack that disables EAC.
