At game start, we give 1 colony ship and 2 scout. In current game rule, if a star system is not connected to the capital, it will suffer big negative effect, consume a lot of influence every turn.

So in this new version, outpost is much more needed.

And also, maybe we can make snowflak and kraken regenerate structure and fuel faster on small planet and gas planet.

That will make this game much more random.
If you feel Df and Df are too powerful, maybe make it require a lot of troops to occupy.

Kraken spine has 120 damage, it's very weird that it attack fighter.

Those species that utilize concentration camp now need racial purity policy, and racial purity further need checkpoint policy. You don't always need checkpoint policy. If your enemy don't use stealth tech, use this policy is a big nerf to yourself. We need to buff those concentration-camp-oriented s...

1 If I build a new outpost, influence upkeep should not increase.
2 If I evacuate a planet into an outpost, influence upkeep should decrease.

More stars means more colony upkeep right? Sometimes when I occupied an outpost, I want just lose it, I totally don't need that star, and it rise my colony upkeep. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------...

Make spinal cannon requires to "prepare" in bout 1. So:

You can use bout 1 to clear some decoy.
Spinal cannon feels more "heavy".

What about introduce some tech to allow "mount ship parts to monsters" ? And maybe, make monsters don't use upkeep. --------------------------------------------------------------------- So, say, make monsters "monsters hull line". You can mount ship parts. ( maybe only external ) They can flee in co...

Prevent player to be able to too easily feed war with war.
You need to wait for infrastructure to recover after you have conquered a new planet.
You can be easier to cut other's supply line.

Maybe we should stop current supply range regrowth system. Make it an "On or Off" system.

Yes, maybe infrastructure shouldn't affect stealth. And maybe infrastructure requirement should just be a fixed number. Say, you need 20 infrastructure to make supply system and detection system to be functional. So if it's 10, only supply system is functional, if it's 20 both are functional. Defens...

Edited.

Say, if infrastructure is low, your planet can not be fully functional. If a planet is invaded, its infrastructure is greatly destroyed, and need to slowly recover. So, its supply range, detection, stealth, etc, all reduced based on infrastructure. Supply range need a value of x%. detection, stealth...

Would you please give me a link?

Maybe instead of introduce a new bomb part, what about allow just use normal direct weapon to bomb outpost?

Just like you can bomb a colony. Allow players to bomb an outpost and totally make it into a unoccupied planet.
Need to add a new bomb part that can bomb outpost.
It's much cheaper than invade it.
Bomb part should be an external part, you can bomb an outpost with very small ships.
