So I've started playing this game yesterday...excellent game, addictive, and late-game doesn't get super annoying like other games of its type. I really like that since I tend to give up in mid-to late game from insane micromanaging.
With that said...I feel influence is batshit overpowered. Is it just me? I just won a game where I just absorbed systems effortlessly, used influence to pump out ships or improvement in systems..it's insane.
I'm probably playing at too low a difficulty lol. Watching it spread like cancer is so satisfying though!

Cos thats how it usually works in EA unless its already in the game when they make it EA. There are several EA games out there that are listed with no MP even though the devs say it will be added later.

@Betty: if you're curious, the rin rin men have it in their specific thread 
I haven't tried it yet either because I'm waiting for it to leave Early Access (as per usual).

I know it's petty but one thing that really bothered me about the combat was the explosions, have they been beefed up? they were so petty looking last time I checked it out.

Take note of the Known Issues.
 Spoiler: |
[KNOWN ISSUES]
Final Reward of the Rifborn has no effect yet
Known issue: the AI is a bit reluctant to fight against Arks in early/mid game
FPS drops drastically during the planet destruction cutscene for a few seconds
Game session can remain stuck during the End Turn sequence while in a Pending state
The user does not receive the reward after “The cult of the strongman” United Empire faction quest is completed
Unfallen users cannot use the spaceport
Several factions traits on custom factions are not functional yet

Narrator and faction voice over during the beginner tutorial is missing

Never show the planet scanview keys when in ground battle
Planet scan view is incomplete
[MAC] The minor and major factions influence area can be seen through the fog of war |
pretty significant issues there, imho.

That seems to be some major things that aren't working yet. Especially the A.I. related points. I think I rather wait a bit longer for a proper, patched and actually ready game

Pretty much as expected from them. So rather wait for first major expansion.

Huge improvement from the previous patch. All GUI glitches were fixed, performance almost doubled 
Game is GUI and infographics porn  Just by playing with GUI I already got my money's worth 
So far, I would say this is the most polished of the newer 4X games (Stellaris, GalCiv 3 Crusade, Civ 6 )

i played like 10 hours in early access and it was fairly well done. 1.0 had a lot of translations still missing tough, but haven't found a gamebreaking bug yet, even minor

Lesson Learned
| Quote: | | .. This, however, came at the expense of proper testing. Taken aback by the amount of things that needed a quick fix, we rushed to address all issues and issued as quickly as possible a patch to fix most pressing problems and make everyone happy. As we all know, the road to Hell is paved with good intentions, and this patch turned a “not so good situation” into a “far worse situation”, with the AI entering a deadlock status for many players who had previously been unaffected... |
The release rush was making it hard for something like this not to happen. On the bright side only took a couple of days after last patch to admit it so hopefully they can properly fix the game with more testing.
I'll be playing something else for a while, not fun getting those bugs when you are invested on a playtrough.

Is anyone using the multiplayer steamworks fix? I'm looking to play this with a friend and I can't convince him to purchase the game, so I've been meaning to try the multiplayer fix. However it's been a while since the game was released and both the game and steam got updated since, so I'm wondering if it stills works?
EDIT: In case anyone is wondering, we tried it and yep it still works.

Yes and it's much better than the first one. The launch was a bit rushed, but the problems got fixed.

This is no doubt the finest 4X game I have ever played. And the reason for that is simple. This game respects my time. It focuses on the strategy instead of the micromanagement (though you can do that to some extent). It doesn't try to be all things to everyone, it stays on the strategic layer, but there, it is very strong. The game itself is not that complex, but it is very deep. In other words very good mechanical designs.
But that would not be enough to receive the high praise it does from me.
On this very solid structure lies a very clear and understandable UI. Very clean and elegant.
And even on top of this layer is the fluff - the factions, the quests, the style. It's unique, sometimes strange, always original.
I have been playing 4x for some time now, and this game captivated me like no other in the genre. Buy it. Play it.

Now that's a temptation-inducing post! I'll have to build myself a time chamber one of these days and collect a few dozens of homemade extra-hours to dedicate to the game, it's the only way 
edit:
I removed the [Early Access] tag, it seems that the dev team has been indeed active and busy with the patching in the past few months after the shaky launch, keeping the promise.

I hate to play devils advocate, but I couldn't, and still can't, get into it.
My biggest gripe with this game is it just seems so...sterile. From the UI, to the races, to the tech trees. It may be "technically competent" per se, but there just doesn't seem to be much heart here. Seems like it'd be far more at home in a spread sheet.
That said, I can see the draw for some people. Just not for me. 
I can never be free, because the shackles I wear can't be touched or be seen.
