Re: What new abilities would you like to see?
 

I was thinking of an interesting variation to the ancient ruins that I wouldn't mind seeing...

Derelicts (Space hulks,abandoned ships/stations, odd techie bits of space debris, etc...).

They would be seeded like Ancient Ruins, but would be in open space instead of on a plante's surface. You would probably have to have a particular tech to salvage/detect them, but if you salvage them you would get either a unique/regular tech advance (only working device on board the debris, or something), or you would be able to get another ship or station (but with a tech or two that you wouldn't have) with the option to fleet/use it, or analyze it for the unique/new technology.

It would put an (IMO) interesting spin on the whole "colonize planet with Ancient Ruins, get tech" situation.

Just an idea.....but one that I particularly like... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif
