My thoughts exactly. BE felt thin and unsatisfying, and the occasional references to Alpha Centauri only served to draw attention to its lack of soul or personality. It didn't contain any 'mind=blown' concepts like I'd expect from good sci-fi, and the gameplay was hardly innovative either. I only played four or five games before getting bored and giving up.

A substantial expansion pack could improve things in future, but I can't see BE's problems being fixed if the same uninspired perspective and mediocre vision is applied.
