[Q]

Atrocities I most support your suggestion 2, 3 and 8!
I miss the feature of SE III to defined the starting tech levels for each race individually very much.
An other feature of SE III I miss is the way counter intelligence works. It was far more easier in SE III just to define the percentage of your intelligence points for counter intellingence. If you spend more points for defence than all your enemy spend against you, you are protected otherwise some of the enemy projects will succeed. I really don't see any advantage of the way SE IV handels counter intelligence now. The offensive intel projects are fine apart from some balance IMO.

I like that real-time sugestion. In MOOII the game would run until something happened. Maybe SE4 could do that with an adjustable setting, ie run till first contact, combat, new colony established, etc. That would be great.

[Taqwus]

Just the usual requests for interface improvements -- anything ranging from the ability to import/export text-based command files and data (e.g. it would be NICE to be able to write a Perl script that simply automates putting atmosphere converters on every planet that needs it in a 200-planet empire, including queuing scrap-facility orders when necessary...) to implementing numerical input boxes for more tasks (such as specifying unit production and so forth). ;-)

Atrocities, I like number 5 if warp technology would be implemented along with it.

As for the rest I like them all except I have some reservations about the real time thing.

It does if you tell them to construct them in the AI vehicle construction file.

In support of Mac, I too would like to see a massively destructive race, one that most AI's hate too. One that can NOT make treaties with anyone...In the files it says that the Xi'Chung were thought to be the creation of another race, how about the 'parents' show up to see how the kids are?
That and the addition of a few new races that use combined tech.(ie a psychic/organic race, a religious/crystal race etc, or heck even a temporal/organic/psychic race ). But the new races I would gladly pay for in expansion pack form.
