I like that idea. Finally, an easy way to represent a planet's infrastructure.

By the way... Replacing Life support by "Crew" that give combat bonus can be good.
On little fighter it would be (I don't know how to say it in english) an optional additional crewman that fire weapon resulting in more accuracy (you know, like in WW1 fighter). On bomber it would be the crew and may not be optionnal...

If you mean just on the fighters, I think I may just do that... though it wouldn't really replace lifesupport.

Not requiring an explicit lifesupport component on the short-range (no strategic move) fighters would be quite reasonable I think. And having an optional double-cockpit for some small combat bonus would be good.

Screensavers usually have some action in them

I could strip off the title text to make a desktop background though...

To Do:
- Add helpful intel projects.

This adds a lot of potential. Some things you should be able to do:

- Slip an ally some resources (negative resource steal op). This saves you the hassle of sending a political message and waiting for the acceptance message.
- Refuel a stranded ship, or provide a small boost to a warfleet.
- Insidiously lower their guard against you, allowing you to sneak in attack projects while they think you are helping them!
You can even accuse your enemy of the attacks via comm message, and hopefully provoke your "friend" into attacking your real enemy
