Are you sure you knew what state the game would be in before you bought it? It's a technical preview still. The other 2 factions will arrive, devs can never be 100% sure when and there's no obligation for them to do exactly as they said before; and even then, as you funnily enough say, spring isn't even over yet.

There will also be one new capital ship in the TEC, so I assume that goes for all three factions. Titans will have improved features as well. Components are new, planet management is new, exploring is more rewarding (the old uninhabitable 'planets' should arrive in the future as well), the celestial bodies now actually orbit, minor factions will be expanded upon, as you mention there are exotics now. There's enough new stuff already while the game isn't even half complete.

"There will be no campaign (on release)" is something they've said before as well. It really feels like you tricked yourself into thinking you bought something else than you did, and that's no one's fault but your own.

Sins II, like Sins I, will have a very long development roadmap.

The first key thing was to rewrite the entire game engine from the ground up. That was done this past February.

The next thing was to get some of the most asked for mechanics into the game (planets rotating, more detailed weapon systems, lots of feature tweaks and enhancements).  That was done in March.

The next thing is to get the game into a fully completed core game experience with the TEC (both Loyalists and Rebels) as the centerpiece.  That's where we are as I write this.

Then we can look at what comes next.  The Vasari, the Advent and of course the things beyond.  There will be updates, delays and no doubt twists and turns along the way.  But we'll get there.

The biggest issue with Sins 1 was that it was 32-bit.  We literally couldn't fit anything more in it.  There was no scenario a 4th race would get added to it because of the RAM requirements.  But Sins II? Well, those limits are gone.

Oh baby dont threaten me with a good time!
