I look forward to the 2.0 patch, although I don't really want it as long as it crashes every 10 min - but once it's ironed out, this could be the beginning of finally having fun with SC - I remember when E:D released their first beta with a limited galaxy to fly in: it kept me busy for a long while. These days I'll barely have 1 or 2h per week to play SC alpha 2.0, so it could keep me entertained for months. If only it had VR support though... it's hard to be wowed by a space game on monitor once you've played ED with the Oculus Rift... And VR support won't be coming anytime soon given the choice of having head bobbing and animations taking control of the camera.
