In SEIV at the start you can choose to only be able to colinize home planet type and breathable atomshere i think you should make another option of being able to colinze moons so you would have a third choose mainly i want this because i always put both options on and that annoys me playing and haveing useless moons

Check out FQM Deluxe. It gives you moons of all atmospheres.

Because I'm an historian, one of the things I wish for SE5 is a better treatment of organics (i.e., food) as a strategic commodity.

In nearly every game of SE4 I've played, organics are an afterthought unless your race has organic technology and needs lots of organics. You can pretty much build a few farms here and there and not worry. Your people almost never starve.

You mainly worry about minerals, and later, ratioactives.

Organics should be more important than they are.

Many mods fix this problem. Pirates and Nomads, Adamant, GritEcon (this one's economics system would definitely interest you), AIC, Proportions, etc. But yeah, it would be good to have the resources more distributed in the stock game.

Most games I see in the stores today--the few that still carry computer games--are for the instant gratification, short-attention-span, pretty-picture crowd. I've watched several game franchises sink down to that level.

Agreed. Malfador is a one man company, so there are no marketing or management goons around to force Aaron Hall to bastardize the series for the sake of MTV generation kiddies.

I have not read all the Posts in this thread, but I'm sure there are several that say "SE4 is lame! SE4 is boring! What SE5 REALLY NEEDS is, like, a 3D engine, d00d!!!" Or words to that effect.

I do not believe you will find a single post of that nature in this thread, and possibly not even in the entire forums... maybe one or two.
