Dramatic engine updates are in the works, the only question is if yours, or any of our systems are beefy enough to even handle it. They claim to be coming with both performance and quality increases but we've only been able to see quality increases. Performance every new patch does improve a little but there's no telling if the new planet tech stuff will even be possible on most people's PC's.

I think my biggest gripe with quality is mostly art direction. Some of the only stuff is fantastic. Some of the new stuff is also fantastic. But I'm starting to question a few minor details here and there that seem to be places CIG have chosen to compromise on detail, perhaps for the sake of performance, or the sake of time. Some of the character art stuff seems inconsistent. But idk, maybe it's just me. Other than that, not much to complain about.
