For those of you who haven't read, news about early access phase 2 was posted up on steam.

I'm kind of excited to see the new races. The current races look and sound great. The AI has been improved but they're still easily beatable on any map as any race. I've not seen (any?) a lot of games in multiplayer for this yet. I imagine most users play against the AI. Any updates to it in EA is wonderful news. It'll add a lot of replay-ability. I imagine the custom races, likely the points system, will require balancing.

So far things are looking great. Performance wise, the game runs really well for me and I have a pretty humble system. That's great work to be honest. I haven't seen a flood of posts here either, so I don't think that many people are experiencing running issues. So really, congrats on a smooth EA launch. Frankly, the more patches we can get in EA time, the better. Can't wait for more updates and EA 2.
