Game Improvements & Ideas

some of your points have been raised already, but as for travelling between stars is very slow, and quite annoying, while I like the ideal of having stars, there really needs to be a faster way to get there, maybe something like being able to found or create jump gates?

I like that idea. Another way would be to find wormholes.

I got a good feature to add Space Stations. That would be realy cool

hear hear, I have two ice planets (all of the ice planets in the whole 20 planet solar system, yay me) and I've run out of crystal.

its meant to be so and I want it to remain that way. if you want to change that find the phase enhancer relic, it will half your travel time.

I like this idea, it shouldnt be the major source of resources, but it should be there in case someone plans just to raid all of your supply stations.

Planetary mines seems entirely redudant; we already have asteroids and refineries...

Although I believe the Vasari are able to rip up planets from orbit for resources.

damn the Vasari, damn multianna!!!!!!!

/calms down , and eats a cookie....

I just though of a good unit a marine ship for planet takeovers. although u would suffer in tax income from the planet. Or just make it a unit ability.

If you don't buy crystal off the black market then it's almost impossible to do a lot of things. Be a little bad, buy off the black market! Arrr...

what he be say'n is true matey... arghhhhhh......

I can't wait *need drooling smiley*

I don't mind the crystal situation...I periodically sell metal to buy crystal. I'm not sure how much good my orbital refineries are doing, but I'm never short anymore on crystal.

I always fiddle through the after-game stats for info on that sort of thing. Bear in mind that its not necessary, required, or wise to research out the whole tech tree.

I will say I like seeing all the stats in graph format

I just wish I could use the arrow keys to scroll up and down, instead of selecting each one with the mouse...

oh yes, until your crystal starts costing 25 credits per crystal!!!

speak for yourself.
most of the tech tree has minor upgrades that build up to HUGE differences in a short period of time.

granted, there are the techs like probe that are nearly useless, but when you have a fleet that you cant make any larger, and nothing else to spend money on... you get bored

heh the probe does seem useless....

Any and all jump research is useless right now so dont waste your crystal researching it.

The lack of crystal makes things interesting. I just hope a map doesnt spawn where there are no ice worlds at all. Perhaps the "black market" should be renamed galactic exchange. It makes me feel like im dealing with the pirates lol.

The probe is only useful if you scout ahead of an invasion. Sometimes i kamakazi a scout into a heavily fortified system just to see what is there, and see if the AI fleet will respond. Even with jump immunity no scout will survive in a fortified system. The probe well let you observe the system for a few minutes after your scout leaves, or is destroyed. Use it, or dont use it. Its up to you.

I try to research my mining asap, and if i see an ice planet my fleets make a b-line to colonize it. Whats funny is in one of my games the ice planets were the major choke points not the dead ones.

Im all for giving the dead planets at least some logistics points. Just because they are dead they shouldnt be totally useless other than a choke point fortress. Perhaps any artifacts in game should only be found on the dead worlds.

No on the interdictor ships. We have phase jump inhibitors that should be enough. Build them.

The way the game is right now there is no point in making multi star maps, because the AI start positions will all be in the star system you start out in. Perhaps if the dev's are kind they can fix this in the next patch

Yes the vasari are coming for u............
