Very hyped for the coming release in june, the game is definately a must-buy for me! [8D]

However one question i had since i watched all those gameplays: Are air units planned at all? I know they probably won't make it in time for release but maybe after? Maybe as a dlc or expansion?

I find it a bit odd you can find ICBM's or build your own ones but aren't capable to build a simple biplane...

Developer said that air and navy units would come in expansion (if Shadow Empire sells well).

Air units can have issues based on the variety of worlds you can generate. Do simple biplanes work in low or no oxygen environments? What about airless worlds? Lava worlds where the temperature is very hot - won't a biplanes engine overheat? Frozen worlds where biplanes engines should freeze up...

It has to start somewhere and so much is already included, but I do understand what you mean. I don't really mind there not being an airforce and ways to counter them, but sure hope the game does well enough that they might be added in the future. The game seems very promising, so the signs are positive.
