Good idea. Seconded! [:)]
Maybe some races could add similar military, production, trade and taxes bonuses too.

Cool [:)] Even my transport idea made it there [:)]

What about build queue which automatically builds a structure once a new slot becomes available?

Some RPG elements would be great. For example hero ships with unique personalities, experience levels, special abilities.. like Sins

<t> The reviews are overall objective in my opinion. They pointed out the downsides which developers should work to improve in future patches/additions, mainly:<br/> -bland real-time combat<br/> -uninspired research<br/> -no online multiplayer<br/> -managing your colonies can be quite difficult (I w...

How about releasing a dedicated modding tool with GUI? (like SunEdit for Tiberian Sun).. It would be far better than editing xmls with notepad... [:)]

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Ryvan<br/> I think the big disconnect is that this isn't really a 4X game. It was advertised as such and a lot of people bought the game expecting the same general type of gameplay as other 4X games. Winning in this game is based on collecting points, not on warfar...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Iceman<br/> <br/> Less MM? You have to build those civilian SYs in a bunch of systems. And more upkeep. And more pop to assign to it. You have to know how many transports you'll build in each - how do you do that BTW? Also, how do you control when you've built enou...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Iceman<br/> <br/> Yummy, replacing MM with MM!  [;)]<br/> <br/> Seriously, I can't really comment because I think pop transport should be made harder, not easier.

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Iceman<br/> <br/>   <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>The best way mentioned here in my opinion is to have population migration as an automatic background function, maybe with setting priority planets.
