This expansion pack is something of an oddity in the sense that it TAKES from the game as much as it ADDS. When they get things polished up, I'll be very happy to rewrite this review. There's a lot of things to like, but ship design is so fundamental that it takes a lot away. I'm also having performance issues, and a lot of the combat mechanics are more opaque now than they were before, such that it's hard to tell what's going on. It's crazy that it was released like that. In effect by researching newer shields you lose the ability to place any shields on new/updated ship designs. The problem is that if the top one requires a resource you don't have (either because you don't have it yet or lost it due to war), you can't tell the game to build an older version. Instead of showing 5 kinds of shields, it shows 1. The most grievous is that the ship design screen was changed to only show the top version of every module type you have available. The problem is that if the top one requires a resource you I *REALLY* look forward to when I can edit this review to something positive, because I love Endless Space and wanted to love Disharmony.
