What would you like to see in an expansion pack

[rdouglass]

You guys just about covered 'em all. My main requests would be...

1) Adjust starting techs like SE3. Specifically being able to assign more than 1 level of any given tech. Has been explained many times....

2) Want my asteroids back! I like using 'em as military SY's.

3) Better multi-player support. I have not yet played a multi-player game 'cause I'm not really interested in playing for 3 months at 1-2 turns per day.

4) A 'Mod Manager'. I envision an interface similar to Win9x/NT's Add/Remove Programs control panel. Since the mods are text-based, I suspect an app could be made to track dates / additions / deletions to the text files and remove / restore / recreate those changes as needed. Same concept with ship sets, etc. I have wanted to attempt such a project (as well as do some modding myself), but my programming time lately has been dedicated to SQL web databases. (I think this was discussed in previous threads).

Many others mentioned in this thread, but the above are my main 3 wishes.
