-----An opening cinematic to be in line with most other games. This will help, some, to lift the series out of "obscurity".

-----(This has probably been mentioned.) We need Infantry or Tiny Troop as a starting technology in order to have a choice of planetary invasion in the beginning game. They should be weak and plenty of them would be needed to succeed over several turns. Later,they can also be cheap police units on all planets.
