[quote] I have one idea for this thread: (Enter race name) A race that does not have colonies but one HUGE mothership that kinda suckes planets dry. They would be a kinda nomadic race that have one ship from which they do all there research and production. Instead of building stuff they would have to expand there mothership to give acces to new technologies. They could be able to build a few structurs such as extrators. The mothership would be rather slow

Something in other RTS games that I really liked was the ability to have an icon displayed when a worker was inactive. Would there be any way to add this in to the sidebar for each planet? I would like to be able to go directly to a worker that is NOT currently building something at planet A, make him do something, then hop back to a worker that's not doing anything at planet B. Is this feasible? Maybe even already in place and I just missed it? I think it would make micro-managing

O_o

...dang...I accidentally just sunk like 2 hours into your game...where did my two hours go? :CONGRAT: I've never been a 4x kind of gamer, and it's definitely taking some getting used to, but man, the RTS section sucked me in so I'm willing to sit and learn. I'm absolutely floored by the size of the maps...even the small maps...I played like 2 or 3 hours and didn't explore the entire system...but I DID find the Pirate Headquarters! X-( lol
