Thanks for the ideas! I'll be keeping things set in space but I was interested in adding some sort of 'monsters' at some point.
Version 0.20 is almost ready to go, the new data entries have been put in so I just have to make sure I didn't introduce any serious bugs and hunt down a few of the little ones plus fix up the basic AI again since some I made some changes that made them invalid.
I'm also looking to add elements of SJ's and Fyron's happiness and pollution effects for 0.21 to 'spice' things up.
