Game still needs a few balance patches, but those ornithopter fights are pretty fun so far, and the systems make a lot more sense than in CE. It's the same developers but they have very different budgets and people looking over their shoulder with the Dune IP.
They also just pushed back release and announced that they will do an open beta if ever that's still possibly on the radar that would provide a good time to dump their SDK and poke around in it...
