[Deathstalker]

This sounds alot like the events in Civ I and II when you captured a capital city sometimes. It would split the captured empire in two, and rioting cities (or planets in this case) would sometimes go over to another empire 'in envy'. I to would like to see this option. Another thing that is missing is the concept of 'barbarians' or 'pirates' (like Civ I and II), roving bands of non-neutral origin that just hit the closest empire. (this way with the new map editor we could put a sphereworld with ruins and a baseship guarding it...Orion!!)

Owen smiled coldly. "It wasn't hers to take. I'm a Deathstalker until I die. And we never forget a slight or an enemy." -Owen Deathstalker.
