A poll thread...

Would you like to be able to add new Atmosphere types to the selection... like Chlorine, Fluorine, Ammonia, Sulfer Oxides, Helium? (maybe even making some that can't be chosen by any race, like TOXIC)

Would you like to be able to define new sector objects, and decide if they can be colonized... like Inferno Planets, Brown Dwarves, even turning on "colonization" for asteroids?

Know that I'm not suggesting that MM actually add these to the game, only that they allow modders to do so (I wouldn't think it would be that difficult, as it seems it would work within the game structure.)

Additionaly, I would like to see the ability to charge points for certain atmosphere choices... Adding another choice to the selection: ANY (for about 3000 points)

Finally, I would like the ability in sectortypes.txt to make a planet start with a certain level of resouces in a certain type (i.e., None=None/Low=1-75%/Medium 76-120%/High 121-150%), and to set planet conditions (i.e., Deadly, Harsh, Unpleasant, Mild, Good, Optimal). If these values weren't given, it would still choose randomly. I know you can do this in the map editor, but I want random maps to do this... I hate seeing a planet that mentions A lot of ore is present, but mineral are 30%.


Well anyways, what do you think about these ideas? And do you think I should bug MM about them?
