[quote quoting="post"] On a personal note, nothing pains us more than when someone accuses us of “rushing” the game. The phrase “works on my machine” is not an acceptable excuse. We just blew it on so many levels that it will require a detailed post-mortem (which I do plan to provide so players, customers, and others can learn from our mistakes in general and my personal mistakes in particular).

I'm preordering now, not truly for the stuff although it's neat (and will probably end up on a shelf or in a box with a bunch of other stuff), but because I like what I get when I give Stardock money. Speaking with my wallet is sometimes the loudest shout of all. :)

Build out your lore in this first game as much as possible. Devote your energies to the Canon races and factions and using them as tools to tell your story. The extra customization and custom created races can can later. Speaking as someone who has "the faith" when it comes to Stardock, I know the awesomeness that you all will produce in your expansions. Custom races would be a wow-bang feature and an expansion would give you time to see how people are actually playing the game, which I thin

Woot, pre-ordered. Looking forward to a great Beta... er, I mean hell. :D
