Re: Space Empires 5
What I'd like to see is multiple facility sizes ... stay with me on this one.
The resupply depot should be small. The spaceport ... small or medium or big, whatever works for balance
Spaceyard? ... big
Units Only Space Yard ... small or medium
Miners, refiners and farms ... small medium and large -- each with a proportional resource production.
Now ... return to the game the ability to colonize asteroids.
Maybe a small asteroid field can only hold a small miner, or a resupply depot. Resupply at ateroids is very usefull to the AI. Everyone knows the AI can't handle black holes well -- but if there are two asteroid systems next to each other ... the AI can't cross them.
A medium asteroid file could hold the space port ... but how will you defend it? This could make asteroids more interesting.
That tiny, no atmosphere planet that only holds one facility now could be more interesting if it held a resupply base, spaceport, and a miner at 1/3 production level or do you just build an ordinary miner -- your call.
Remember, if the planets are moving from month to month -- resupply depots are much more important.
So many more ideas -- but I'll calm down for now
