  1. Every part of Stellaris is still here; the pieces have just been rearranged, neatly.

    Fixes many bad concepts (like cheap wormholes - they can be still built but are expensive and appear late-game, manual fleet management,Fixes many bad concepts (like cheap wormholes - they can be still built but are expensive and appear late-game, manual fleet management, one-stack-fleet, etc.). It is a step to the right direction.

    One big issue is still remaining: there is a need to redesign planet management; development is silly and infantile. Remove buildings, set governor on EACH planet automatically (it is ridiculous that 6 billion of people live on the planet but there is a problem with governor), let develop it (or not) based on some focuses and population preferences. It is so easy to implement...

    Edit: after playing another dozen hours, I must say that it is annoying. Not balanced at all. Hostile events are generated so often (ie. specter on very early game destoying all acquired systems but only human player!) so rage quit and bye.

With almost 900 hours in this game, I can tell you that this patch is the worst thing they've done with Stellaris. There are a few interesting bonuses, Titans, planet killers, etc... But we had those through mods before. So all this new patch does is slow it down a HUGE amount and it removes a few things.

    The only real positive is the new border colors are much MUCH better.
