Huzzah! Congratulations, Ironclad!

Painfully easy as it may be, I won't pass up 5 imaginary dollars. Emperor Palpatine in the Second Death Star with the Force. As for the screenshots: I want! I want!

One thing I find annoying about pirates is that the AI always tries to outbribe me by a few credits. Maybe it'd be better if bribes could only come in fixed amounts; for example, 250, 500, 1000, 2000, and so forth. That way, you can't offer the last three credits in your treasury to outbribe someone.

How about starbases as a solution to weak planetary defenses? They'd be the equivalent of a capital ship for defense buildings. Maybe they could even gain levels like a capital ship, and gain extra weapons/fighters/special abilities that way.

Looks very nifty. I do think it'd be best not to make the list of modifiers per planetary bonus too long - keeping it limited to about four effects makes it clearer what the planet can and cannot be used for.

[quote]I was reading another thread that had a good suggestion and I've decided to post it here if it hasn't already. I'd like to see a replace ships button in the fleet management menu. And when you right click it, it will auto replace. I find that when I have multiple fleets, it gets really troublesome to replace missing ships after a battle. I usually have a fleet that is offensive and another that is just for sieging. Before a battle, I usually have a balanced fleet, but since I don't keep a

I don't know if it's possible in the game's engine, but it'd be great to have a 'cockpit view'; an option to watch a battle from the cockpit of a fighter or the bridge of a larger ship.

One thing I'd like to see in the diplomacy screen is an overview of all diplomatic relations. Like the one you get in GalCiv 2, where you get the symbol for every faction and lines between them to indicate alliances, trade agreements, etc.

[quote]That, and allow promotion of a Flagship. Give it bonuses when it's a Flagship (the leader ship of your race) and penalties if it's destroyed until a new one is made. [/quote] I'd love to see that. Maybe every type of capital ship can have some sort of extra special ability if it's promoted to flagship status. And a ship must have a certain experience level to be promoted.

Thanks, Stardock, for listening to our demands... er, requests. Here are some things I'd like to see in Sins: - The ability to name fleets. Right now, it's a bit hard to identify fleets. Also, it'd be nice if fleet icons were visible on the farthest zoom level. That would make it much easier to direct fleets without having to zoom in or look them up in the tree. - Some way other than missions to improve diplomatic relations with another faction.
