Well I scanned this thread fairly quick so I'm sure I missed a few good ideas.

I tried to keep the list somewhat short and things I thought would be patchable as opposed to such a big task it would be more for a new Version,.

Love the warp point ideas listed by jimbob, just wondering if anyone had suggested "wandering" points that move around the system coordinates (randomly) as well. You could also combine such points with the periodic (or other) points for an added dash of flavor.

A nice to have idea: Increase production of a Space Yard by putting a "Habitation Component" on it and filling it with population.

I don't expect it to happen. It would be nice way to use excess pop.

I just got an idea from the Ancient Ruins thread.
It'd be interesting to see a Intel project or a event take place that causes you to lose techs. Like someone could run a Intel project to break in and steal taht tech and destroy any copys of it that you may still have. Thus causing you to drop 1 level in that specific area of technology. This would suck if it happened to you but it would really add to the game a bit more. Comments or ideas?

I would like to see the map format be unencrypted. The game file, should be certainly, however if you have a map file and want to see it all you have to do is fire up the map editor. It would be nice to have a format (even if binary) so one could write a program to generate random maps, but using some constraints (for example hyperspace, or start positions with sphereworlds etc.).

Does anyone know why the map format is encrypted in the first place??

It is encrypted to prevent people from cheating in MP games. MM will never unencrypt it, so there is no point in trying to get it done.
