I'm late! MkII

[Pumpkin]

Hey! Guess what? I'm back! And yeah, it's late.
I "jumped" the orange phase because I wanted to go back with the blue wave with a more clean point of view (And, yeah, the fact I discovered Aurora isn't totally unrelated with that... However, while I'm on holidays, I'm also a bit busy with personal projects.) Also I get a bit overwhelmed by the numerous redshirt feedbacks and felt sort of useless in all the bugs already reported. Oh, you're not here to hear about my life? Right, sorry.

So I'll give this blue version a try soon, but I missed a big chunk of the forum. I'm sure you all did well, testers and Arcen staff (take a rest, Chris, you'll kill yourself). Why I post here and now is simple: have I missed something immensely important? Like this is no more a 4X but a disease simulator intended for DARPA's xeno-fighting team? I guess not, because there is no new post on the Arcen's front page... but who knows. I read the last update (Holy @%$#$ it's huge, plus blueshirts now) and it sounds promising. Sort of a new game, compared with redshirt experience.

Anyway, hello again, Arcen and SBR! I'm home!

your late again?! god why do you have to be late for everything! but seriously nothing exactly apart from increased crime coming from population density being to increased crime from number of buildings adjacency bonuses  being given city parks buildings flying saucers international incidents wonders actually doing things now resources giving adjacency  peltians getting sterilised burlusts going to counselling sessions and so on.

@crazyroosterman: Hey, yeah, late again. But I come bouncing back!

HotNotes (I'm just out from a first game since a long time)

-> Wohoo! Adjacency bonuses! Great! Now building a city while grouping crops/water or houses/dinning is not only roleplay! Excellent!

-> Still no gameover. My city went from more than 1,000 citizens to less than 200 because of crime (Ah, I have to learn a new game... Cool!) but no gameover. So it's like I'm allowed to dig myself out of the mess, but things are slow and... in one word unfun. I feel I would better abandon this game. I remember this has been reported earlier (maybe at the very beginning of the orange wave, or just before); is it still a concern for the community and/or Arcen? Maybe a sort of "you fell too low; do you want to accept the gameover or do you want to stay in the game and try to dig you out?"...
