ENDLESS™ Space 2 is turn-based 4X space-strategy that launches players into the space colonization age of different civilizations within the ENDLESS™ Universe. Your Vision. Their Future.
Ive wrote 5 or so bugreports in the last 1-2 days, some of these bugs are realy serious, also ive some more on the list i have to write down and report. This situation reminds me of the release of ES2, after leaving the early access there where MANY issues still present, sure they got fixed, mostly, but as for now.. its the same situation, too many bugs!
Amplitude, please test more intense in the future! i Love your games, but after each (bigger) DLC on every game, many things get borked! Iam not a paid beta-teste, but because the games are really fun, if they are fixed, i take this on me and give my spare leisure-time to YOU to help you fix it (besides ive also given you a lots of money), so i sugget:
Testing more efficient before release
Let the hard-core fans test, they will find issues better than any QA-Teams doing this professionally
Focus in Fixing after release and WAIT with new releases until the state of the game is good!
Ive reportet the (for me most annoying) issues, ive not yet had the time to report all the "small" things noone does care about anymore i think, everyone learned to live with them it seems :( For example the empire summary -> production-list of a system, there are the little expand-indicators, they do not work (would be useless anyways), but remove them if they are not needed, else it indicates some false features players are used to on other interfaces. This is just a very tiny issue of many that should also be looked at from time to time...
Just a small rant on the fixing/bug policy, i wish it would get better. Nontheless ill continue helping on this (if i can), because on its core and presentation, these games are the best of its kind in my optinion.
But please, it feels you lose track on all the stuff, dont let it be.
It also seems that many bugs persist only while the game is running and get fixed on restart, this should really be looked into and not only get rid of with "i could not reproduce this issue", like iam seeing it a lot in this forums... so please.. there are issues, but it looks like save-files arent enough, maybe some memory/internal game-DB dumping options for the players would be helpful, then they can transmit them to you, at least for the ones who try to help and make this game better.
I've checked what you've reported and most of that isn't anything major you claim it to be, just a bunch of nuisances, they don't prevent you from playing the game.
Not to devalue the job you've done on reporting those things, that is still important, but you have no grasp of how many more issues were ironed out in beta phase compared to how little slipped through, and how few players will actually be able to spot them.
One suggestion I would like to make is having a more diverse group o beta testers helping on the localization, just extend the beta for a week or so and find members in the community that can help with the quality. I can only speak for Brazilian Portuguese, but, let's just say there's so many bugs in supremacy that I just prefer playing in English. Some of them are big too, like the old hisho minor faction still being called Hisho in the live game right now instead of Yusho. Other than that, yes, there are bugs but none of them are game breakers with the exception maybe of the hisho mining probe right now which feels more like an exploit.

I do play in english too since release because the german translation lacks quality all over the place too, at least it did, dont know now. But thats what this is about, not just gamebreaking stuff.. its about an overall level of quality i realy wish to have, and that this level is going gown onm every bigger change they made, what is understandable but counterable with some more quality ensurance actions like you mentioned.
