How about different anger levels for conquered races? Shouldn't some types of population be more difficult to assimilate into your empire? This would make the Temporal tech "Temporal Vacation Service" facility more valuable.

I also wish captured population would retain their racial traits, like mining ability, research ability, etc...

A new feature i would like to see is SPACE MONSTERS,IF POSSIBLE;

1) (robotic race), with only dreadnaughtships baseship,starbase & largetroops only, that replecate, and assimulate worlds destroy every empire no relation with any empire?. a loner . Has a flock at there homeworld.can get teck from this race if captured ship, troop,componets.

2) (Organic monster ship) Very huge egg shape creature ship . THE SHARK OF THE UNIVERSE, patrolls and destroyes ships mostly attack only moving objects.and multiples by 1 when it destroyes 20 ships every time. a loner. If empire ships destroy this animal they get no teck or etc. this monster does not attack pop worlds.

3) (SQUIDE MONSTER) Size of super large planet, only attacks huge pop planets and large ships transport, feeds on there life forces,keeps attacking, and if consumes enough 6000 pop max with 2 planets without interuption it multiplies by 2. does not migrat in flocks. a loner mostly. If empire ships destroy this animal they get no teck or etc. Does not attack ships unless attaked.

4) (CRYSTALLINE CREATURE) a huge diamound shape creature that attacks ships & pop worlds when in range,if destroyes 5 max pop planets or 20 ships seperately will mulitiple by 1. a loner. Player empire detroyes this creature will get a # amount of minerals.

5) (LIVING CLOUD entity) kills only and all pop on any size worlds. mulitiples by 1 for every 10 worlds destroyed, a loner, Very stealthy will stand still if sees war ships, Does not attack ships unless attaked.

NOTE;
All monster races will have a single very huge world of there own?.every monster that is spawn is 1/4 times stronger.a max total of quad times. There world will be colered uniquely and in isolated area places? ;
grey / robotic
orange / organic
purple / squid
silver / crystalline
white / living cloud
Im suggesting this because i bought a game long ago called (star trek birth of the federation, the best part of the game in my opinion was the feature of monsters.Everything else was not interesting enough to keep playing.
QUESTION?
1)Have any of you players suggested these ideas to MM?.
2)Have any mode players created something like this?.
3) If any are interested what i have suggested here, perhaps this gives you ideas to mode, maybe??>

I like the idea of the history file. Who cares how big it is! 10MB, 20 MB, no big deal, I've got tons of hard drive space. Also I would like to see a command to output the current state of the game. Ships, planets, construction, battles, etc., so I could import it into my own tracking program if I wanted.

I would like to see a type of unit statictic screen similiar to what the old Star General game had. You could access it and it would list how many of each unit you built and how many lost for each race. It also had one that told you how many total of each facility you had in operation/destroyed. I know it would be hard to designate the special ships you built/design, but maybe just list how many CA's, DN's, BB's etc you built and how many lost. You could only access the information if you had some type of treaty with that race, if you're at war with them you wouldn't have the access, in addition you would have to have had contact with that race in order to obtain the info, if contact lost, info wouldn't be up to date but would be whatever it was at the time contact was lost. Or at least something along these lines, maybe an intel operation at level 3 before you can get it or whatever. would make for easier record keeping.

example CA's 21 built 15 lost 5 scraped
DD's 30 built 20 lost 3 scraped
Monoliths 10 built 2 lost 0 scraped
etc.

just some ideas mac

" know it would be hard to designate the special ships you built/design, but maybe just list how many CA's, DN's, BB's etc you built and how many lost."

You already have this for your own race, and it's per design. Go to the screen where you design units. Find the button that says Stats/Stratagy, make sure it has a green circle next to it (click it if not) and click on a design. Where you normally see the ship's design, you'll see the number constructed, in service, lost, scrapped, enemy tonnage destroyed, and an option to change the strategy.

tks, i know the design button is there, but you have to access each unit and it doens't give you the stats for the other races. I just meant a screen which would show all stats without having to click each individual unit but keeps a running break down and total. I just like to know how many enemy units/facilities were built or destroyed vs. what my stats are, Example I lost 1 BB and the Cuppa lost 30, (I wish,) maybe I'm just to stats crazy
