I think the wormhole close facility would be a good idea IF the warp tehcnology being discussed in the "intergalactic civil war!!??" thread would be implemented. Otherwise I agree with Magus38 that it would unbalance the game.

Another Idea...

In my upcoming Mod, I've created a Teleportation Tech Area which allows for the construction of Resource Particle Fountains - arrays that collect resources through energy beams - I was thinking of extending this tech area into another one - Replication - and making new facilities that create resources out of thin air...

And this is also cool - how about a cloning facility that adds extra population? You could even make it a military cloning facility that improves crew experience at the same time...

And I mentioned this in the missile mount topic, I've created point defense missiles and torpedoes - they split into several parts causing a large explosion damaging fighters and seekers.

Guys!
All the abilites and stellar abilites are in the text data files read the top.

They say which abilities you can add to components and facilities.

I know that.

All of my Last suggestions can easily be done. The Particle Fountain is basically a robo-miner that can extract more resources. The Replication Resourcer is just a facility that produces resources out of thin air (without reducing the planet's stock). The missiles I have already done.

I don't think there is any way to create the Deep Space array.

It's not just looking at what abilities there are - it's figuring out the most creative ways at using them...

It's true. I work the 7pm-7am shift at work so that's how I come up with all these ideas - because I'm bored to DEATH.

Missile Defense Screen

Special "shield-like" point defense component that surrounds a starship and damages incoming missiles' targeting systems and propulsion - improving the starships anti-missile ability.

If you didn't already know, this particular facility already exists if you start with the Organic Manipulation racial advantage. The facility is called a "Replicant Center."

FYI

This is the 'Lightning Shield' from MOO II. This and the engine pulsar would be great to have, but MM would have to develop a new way of allocating damage to ships around the equipped attacker and would have to design a new display for the combat grid. Would also have to teach the AI how to use it, I suppose.
