What I'd like to see:
-a GUI interface to help design game races. Currently you have to edit the text files. How about a race generator.

-Palace/capital planet. When captured or distroyed your empire risks civil war or distruction

-Recreate the availible weapon types. All weapons should have some benefits over others. Recreate weapons that are useless like Torpedoes.

-GUI interface for creating new technology

-Leader that give planets,ships,ect bonus. Kind of how MOO2 and Master of Magic.

-Space monster & borg like invasions that threaten all races.

-Improve trade. When you are looking for tech to trade with you should be able to view a list of tech the other race has to offer. Not what you allready have.

-Recreate how Espionage is done. Maybe like the way it's done in MOO2. You have to build spy to infiltrate a race. Then choose a mission. All spy options are availible. Tech improves spy success. Keeping a spys home protects your empire.

-Three types of ground forces
Infantry- used to capture a planet
Armor/Mechs- to distroy other armor/mechs, distroy buildings & defensive structures, artillary support for infantry.
Air Force-to add bonus for armor and Infantry

-Ground combat battle map. Each planet type has different advantages. Building are spread out accross the battlefield. Each side places their forces. Fight until there is one winner.

-Different Government types that have benefits that can effect the game. Democracy, dictator, empire, ect. Ref. MOO2 and Civ3

-More victory conditions
* Regicide-empire distroyed when your leader is killed. Like CIV3.
* Political Victory-allies vote you as Galactic President
