Incredibly long, alien action wait time when they deploy their shields. Don’t know if it’s intended that way or if its a bug. But just reporting it. Thanks. ---

Also i know it’s been said in forums somewhere, but the amount of times they can shoot is too much i think, or not. For the challenge at least, will their be achievements in this game? Does anyone know? ---

They’ll balance how much the enemies can shoot–I think it’s their Return Fire that’s overpowered? Yeah, they’ll fix that 😃 ---

Currently their are two main peaces of game mechanic missing and that is limited Line of sight and limited/reload actions for the crab man. Both of which will be changed in the final game. I hope there would be some change to these mechanic in the next backer build but nobody mentioned it directly. ---

Developers aimed at 2 months intervals, but plans have changed to “when we will prepare a significant amount of new content”. So there is no date announced. ---

probably there will be an e-mail saying that next BB will be released in next 2 or 3 days. And xsolla installer will just update the game (at least in Windows). ---

Yeah, that can be intense time. 🙂 Think about full release. What the hype there will be for all turn based strategy fans? 😉 But I will have a baby in next month so I suppose that my focus will go somewhere else for the coming year. And it would be interesting to play the game with the kid in front of the monitor. 😉 ---

I noticed the same thing, including never-ending enemy turn, but this is pre-Aplha, so what should we expect? As much as I love the game, I stopped playing the backer builds due to sheer frustration. I will probably pick back up for the Beta, if it ever happens.
