[Richard: I'm hoping that you can help me with forwarding this to MM/Aaron. This message probably won't suffice, it's rather sparce on details. If you can help me, I'd rather write up details on the top 15 choices, and then email it to you. Thanks]

General Statistics:
-total votes cast 205
-top 5 choices received 43% of votes
-top 10 choices received 67% of votes
-distribution is standard bell curve, slightly wide std. dev.

The Winners:
Top 15 choices in descending order of popularity:

#12 a-c, spread out/orbit satellites around planets, 13% of votes
#29, mouse wheel support, 9%
#1, components with research and intel functions, 7.5%
#7&8, more �damage only� categories, 7.5%
#22, add �system randomizer� to editor, 6%

#23, add more warp point types, 5.5%
#4, give drones �move to� in orders menu, 5%

The mouse wheel was the only anomalous topic, with 9% of the votes, but only 5 individuals voting for it. For the most part these voters (more accurately �devotees�)
cast all their votes for #29. I think that I should have limited the number of votes per topic to 3 per person to even this out, but too late now. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif
