something else that came up but damn forgot to copy the text, was and this is p5y also, is that if you completely capture a star system, you become a system lord, and it will grant a bonus, (can't remember who thought this up but, one of the bonuses could be increased culture rating, so that planets are nuch harder to take over by the advent fanatics and the broadcast tower ship, , there could be other bonues as well perhaps? and if a player is system loard, they should have an icon in the diplo

[23:15] Sins could come with a space mission editor [23:15] for single player [23:15] I hope it does

[23:11] another idea...for multiplayer..if set in options is a setting called "the vasari threat" [23:12] its where everyone allies [23:12] because the thing that killed the vasari...appears [23:12] and all players must ally [23:12] nice one [23:12] or die [23:12] but..thats more for "roleplayers" [23:13] yeah, or a countdown timer to ally, you automatically have all the

[23:05] they are afterall the race which needs the most exploration inorder to find resources [23:05] yeah [23:05] I think Sins could have special things [23:06] immersion factors [23:06] such as... [23:06] and should take a while to get the strongest ships, but once they have them, they should be almost unstoppable [23:06] "deep space voyages" [23:06] find hidden stuff l

last night me and P5y got talking about ideas on improving the game, have to admit the ideas he has come up with are very good, and worth a consideration, as there is a fair bit of text, I have split them up so that all the text about on an idea is in its own topic, that should make it easier to read and less boring, as I really don't know how to really do this, I have deleted none relevant text, and the time is GMT, and a big thanks to TristanGoodes without him, I think a lot of these ideas wou

Click the orange button below the portrait of the object you want to scuttle (ship or structure). We won't likely be including the ability to modify tax rates as this is a too micro-intensive for a real-time game though they can be modified indirectly through allegiance and culture. We are currently reviewing the logistics and tactical slot caps. It looks like logistics may come up a tiny bit and tactical will likely

This is what disturbs me about every beta, you get free-riders people who simply expect to be playing a game rather than testing, finding bugs, finding issues and telling the devs what they like or don't like. I find the gameplay a bit lacking atm, that's due to it being a beta - everyone does currently considering half or so the features aren't included. Rather than stating a basic dislike, express what things you want, sum them up constr

I agree MP should only be added if and when the game starts to need it, but my point was, if and when MP is enabled we should have all the races,

using up a colony ship per time will be fine, but there is the akkan to consider, maybe that should have a really long cooldown per use?

the way I see it is, if we are going to be able to test out MP, then we should have access to all three races, otherwise if we balance 2 then get the third at a later date, all the balancing work for the two races probably will be for nothing as we will have to start from scratch again,

last I heard MP will be beta 3, but Im not sure on that

At the moment its not possible to change the tax rate of planets, Salaena1000 asked on irc about being able to change the tax rate on planets, personally I think changing the tax income of planets would be a very good idea, and is coupled with culture, higher the culture the more you can tax a planet, but low culture and low alliance to your empire and you tax them hard, will make the planet revolt, I think this will add more to the gameplay, so what do others think?

Good ideas ! I would like to add to the idea of civilian structures and ships. What if these could be attacked by an enemy faction, the pirates or insurgents resulting in missions for the player to come to the rescue ? If rescue missions are ignored or fails the results could be stolen research, loss of income, loss of population, reduction in trade, creation of insurgents or pirates and so on. This would mean that in addition to conq

I hope so, but I don't see any reason why not, it would be good to see the game finished and balanced, and that is the main thing,

Im still on XP and won't be upgrading to vista until A: outpost or some VERY good alternative is vista compatible, at the mo outpost pro vista compatible version is in beta, B: when Nod32 becomes vista compatible, at the mo it isn't and there have been many issues with the new security suite running on vista, C: when I have a DX10 g card and I don't know when that will happen and it will mean a brand new system, and D: I don't see any reason to upgrade to crappy OS, like its vista phone home iss

at the mo, culture doesn't seem to have any purpose, what I would like to see is that broadcast towers can send out ships that can take over planets using propaganda or by converting them through culture, and that higher the culture the more resistant a planet is by being taken over in this way, you cap planet should always be 100% culkture to stop it from being taken over unless you bomb it, but trade ports and trade between planets should raise culture a bit, I think this would allow for takin

nice to hear there is going to be a pirates base, and certainly something that shoould be added, I hope it will keep spawning pirates at an ship / ships per X amount of minutes, but will have an overall cap, so if you destroy some pirates, a few will respawn, once you found and take out the base, no more normal pirate spawns,

I think fleet formations is a must, if done right,

yeah less planets to a star but more stars, I like that, in a custom game you can have up to 4 stars, it would hopefully space out players more, but I think the downside would be it would slow down the game a bit,

me too, awesome ideas!

amd you can research some useful abilities lack game for it to use, not sure on what abilities, not over powered but useful enough to keep it throughout the entire game, maybe an EMP burst? as I couldn't seem to found any ship which has that, just a suggestion

These are interesting ideas. How do you see yourself defending your planets in the solar system when they can be attacked from all sides? I think it will be very, very difficult to defend planets in this situation... hmm maybe, unless the gauss turrets have better firepower and extended range, but after that, not really sure, the

It would be nice if this class of ship might be TEC only, that way it would help diversify the races. So they don't just become re-textures of the same thing. agreed, it should help a lot, and if it remains useful throughout the game, that will be a bigger plus

the devs are keeping us in the dark! we demand more information!!!! but seriously bit more information on stuff like this really wouldn't go a miss you know,

not a bad idea really, I quite like the sound of the ship, however you say that this should appear late game, but would people get the kodiak by then? or will it appear earlier? mid game?
