The latest from the beta:

Version 1.57:
1. Fixed - On the Create Design window, the Warnings list would sometimes highlight the row on mouse over.
2. Changed - On the Create Design window, components can always be added to a design. The Placement requirement for
a component is now tested only after the component is added to the design. The Placement requirement
description will be displayed in the Warnings list if it fails its test.
3. Fixed - Failure messages for cargo not loaded or dropped were not always being sent during a Simultaneous Game.
4. Fixed - The Drop Specific order was not working.
5. Fixed - Is_Planet_Domed was not being recognized.
6. Note - All functions require parenthesis even if they have no parameters (Is_Planet_Domed()).
7. Added - Damage, Supply, Ordnance bars and movement amount to the Fleet Transfer window.
8. Fixed - Type in Racial Trait "Physical Weakness".

ships that any planet with a colony can perform.

No, that was for planets, not vehicles.

"When is the patch coming out?" is the gamer equivalent of "Are we there yet?".

Most of the fixes I was looking for were made back in the 1.45 to 1.50 range. A majority of the 1.51 to 1.57 fixes have been for MODder benefit. Granted fixing things for MODders has is a better long term investment, but I think there should have been at least a stepping stone patch in between for those of us that just want to play.

Actually, I would say the latest patches have been much more significant in the fixes department, the pre-v1.50 versions were generally thin. There have been much needed fixes for simultaneous orders, memory sight for colonies/systems, upgrade queue designs, fixes for stellar events, fixes for Alliances, and so on...

My memory aside I think stepping stone patches is still a better way to go then prolonged leaps.

Well, the more recent beta patches (since v1.50 or so) have been sort of like Aaron's going "almost there, I think... nope, one more bug - might as well add a few requested features this week while I'm at it... ack, one more bug this week, guess I can't release this one... might as well add some more features..." http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

The players have "just one more turn" syndrome.

Malfador has "just one more bug" syndrome.
