Just as a flip side to Dogscoff idea about shore leave, staying out in space for too long could lower morale. I see it could be a way in which to discourage the tactic of keeping fleets stationed on WPs for the entire game.

I suppose Exp. and morale could be combined, but I think it best if they were separated, as exp. is different from confidence in one's abilities.

I like the idea of running out of supplies as a feature too. As far as facilities go, I agree with having no system wide facilities. Have something like recreation facilities would be nice. They would be excellent things to fill up those near useless moons, and then we here at SE4 could actually say, "I'm taking shore leave on the pleasure moon Galactus Prime."

The idea of having different morale Ratings for different opponents is interesting, but I wonder how it might alter playing styles. I do think that if computer played empires are given morale, it would make them seriously easier to beat. I mean, how easy is it to pick off their strays.
