Glad you liked it. It is quite an addictive little game. They still have one free DLC to release within a few weeks, iirc, and then an expansion set for release sometime mid next year, I believe. I always have my taxes as low as possible so I don't really notice expansion disapproval. I don't like taxes, because I usually play Sophons who get science benefits the lower your tax rate is. But you can reduce expansion disapproval with the exploration techs.
I guess my post did do some good after all. I have to say, I'm a huge fan of this studio. Their "Games2Gether" system is good fun and back in Alpha the community influenced quite a lot in the development. Nowadays it's mainly about achievements and the occasional new feature(latest free DLC pack added a bunch of ambience, a direct result of G2G votes). And if I was living in Paris I'd be at their office fairly often since they organize "Beer2Gether" evenings with their fans there, but they also organize them when they're travelling(one was in Vienna). Pretty cool dudes.
I can't wait to see what game they'll create after Endless Space since I'd assume they would have a little more funds available for development.
