That would be very good. Just allow the inclusion of units in the planet construction file so you could build some weapon platforms first before building facilities.
Another small but IMHO very valuable addition would be the race specific anger modifier (I made this suggestion before but until now withour effect):
You specify in the politics file something like this
Number of race specific modifiers : 2
Race specific modifier race 1 : Terran
Race specific modifier amount 1 : 20
Race specific modifier race 2 : Phong
Race specific modifier amount 2 : -20
The race with this politic file would react very hostile to the Terrans but be very friendly against the Phongs. You could specify as many races as you want. This would prevent the alliance of "mortal enemies" like Eee and Drushoka that we see now. It would also allow you to reduce conflicts between AI's in a solo human player game without making them all declare war on you when you select the "team player mode".
And another old suggestion: starting tech levels (as in SE III).
