Where are the betas heading in terms of gameplay?

Most of the discussion has revolved around graphics, framerates, getting the
darn thing to work, etc.

All of that is critical.

What has changed in the gameplay? I haven't played the betas a lot--I keep going
back to the last full release.

I did notice colony ships could hold only 250.
It also seemed like improvements (such as basic factories) were quicker.

Gameplay wise not much has changed in 1.6.

The only changes I have experienced are the change to the colony ship size and the starbase repair. Other than that, the AI is sill as stupid (*) as in 1.5

In an in-depth view, I think the AI might be smarter in its building choice. In my current beta game for example, I've yet to see planets with an enormous amount of morale-improving buildings I noticed in 1.5 and early 1.6 betas. Then again, a single game isn't much, it could be mere coincedence.

(*) other word to say a human can beat the AI easily
