Yes.
It's shaping up to have a lot more potential than CG1 and that was good fun. Still a huge amount of work to do, especially when the game balancing and fun aspects kick in, but all the elements are there and the potential for a great game is already shining through.
What we can already see is that visually the new game will be beautiful, though admittedly I'll probably end up playing the entire game in tactical mode! Might be an idea to add an option to show battles at maximum zoom, so you can play at tactical mode but still see the beautiful graphics when a battle occurs. But the ability to have a visually stunning game is certainly there.
Another nice improvement is the planetary management. Gone are the fixed worlds and in are the new self built. Again there is lots to do over the next few months but the strategic aspects that this opens up are immense.
