1) More hidden tecks.
2) More non weapon tecks.
3) Derlicked ships in space or morroned on planets with there own teck on the ship.
4) Random space monsters like in botf.
5) Special weapon tecks that fire large bursts of energy that are used to cause general damage to (wide areas) in front of the ship and to disrupt fighter and missile attacks.

6)INTELL ; With Europe discussing a multi-national military force, I was thinking it would be nice to be able able to pool forces among allies. In the simplest form, this would consist of just loaning ships to an ally. I don't mean just moving a fleet to help an ally, or giving ships; I mean telling a task force to accept orders from a neighboring emperor until they hear otherwise.
I think there'd be a few obvious advantages, like the ability to help an ally without risking tipping the balance between you and them; slow down an enemy's advance before he reaches YOUR borders; maybe gain intelligence information if your fleet is allowed to fly around in an allies borders. The ally has the benefit of being able to deploy the ships where they need it, and would at least get some notice before they took off and left.
