Star Conrol only alows you to control 1 ship at a time which resulted in the rather rediculus "lets have 2 fleets destroy each other by a long drawn out series of 1 on 1 duels!". Admitedly their implemtation was very good, the battles were tacticaly interesting and exciting, the simply pay...

Removing player control over such a critical feature would be a terrible idea. Its fine to have a default spliting so the player dosn't need to explicity enter in how they want it done every single time. They will quickly learn how the default function and IF they want something different they shoul...

What I envishon is window with several catagory tabs on top say "Military" "Science", "Espionage", "Diplomacy". Each tab shows the number of entries under it that are unfiltered and the total. So for example 17/24 would mean you had 24 messages of which 17 are...

Based on what I have seen over at Civ4 I would strongly support greater use of Python, game logic and the UI are primary candidates. I would be hesitent to have effects data in Python though, I think thats best keept in XML as Civ4 did. As has been noted the AI will need to weight and evaluate thous...

I'd like to see a ratio of up to 10,000:1 mainly for the purposes of alowing "Nomad" play ala HomeWorld. A super ship that serves as your races "world" would make for some interesting play. Control realy should be stack based as was done in Moo1 and Stars!. With sufficiently good...

I think one of the race ideas that was submited for "Grey Goo" to BE a playable race. This would be kind of cool I think. I had an idea along similar lines for Space Pirates to be a playable race. Perhaps even Giant space Amebas as a playable race?

Actualy we should be aiming for a rougly equal "living space". For example in your most recent data set roughly HALF the toxics are Tiny but nearly half the Oceans are Mediums. This will make a big difference in the total populations that races living on a particular planet type can achive...

That could simply be replaced with having the ships take damage when going into "Over Drive". It would still give much the same strategic effect.

I find the Stars! fuel system to be very user friendly most of the time. I do ocasionaly run out of fuel but its usaualy on a scout that I have desided to Suicide (just keep it moving intill it runs out). And I have had some trouble with the way Stars! dose not automaticaly refuel when a convoy is s...

Do we currently have distance from star and/or star type modifiers. So for example Infonos will be close to their stars and more likly around Hot White/Blue stars? I seem to remember some tables along these lines.

All hail the returning hero! (well atleast I'm returning), I've been in school a full year now and think I could start doing some real damage (um I mean help) with programing. I've learned some Python as well (was doing some Civ4 Moding) and that may come in handy too. I do like that S!SNG news pape...

I am thinking we could have 2 kinds of Blockading Planet Blockades - Ships in orbit of a single planet preventing anything from landing, taking off from planet. The blockader must engage and defeat planetary defences to do this. StarLane Blockades - Ships located at the starlane "Entry Ramp&quo...

I could see some good in denying the player some of the games tecnologies as was done in MOO1 (the first and still the best). Because many of the tecnologies fell into linear paths (Improved factory controls I, II, III, IV ect ect...) what one realy ended up with were GAPS in ones progress that only...

Cool an Instaler just what I need

I'm wondering though will it be possible to create an all inclusive "idiot proof" package that will cover all the dependences and give us super easy instalation?
