Indeed there are theories where black holes of our universe are white holes emmiting matter in adjacent universe. But from our observations white holes don't exist.

Anyway, how do you think white hole system could look like?

Well according to some, it would be spewing light. Or at least throwing back out all light which headed its direction. Taking the black-hole image from the game and doing a straight color-reverse on it might work. Or just dropping 255/255/255 extreme white into the middle of it. Hmmmm that would look like a galaxy. Maybe dragging lines outward using a smudge brush-tool or something.

It would be another interesting thing to have show up but Im not sure what it would offer in game terms. Maybe if it absolutely forced all traffic to follow the wall of the system? Maybe also a slow down in speed? Missiles wont work? Maybe cannons also. Hmm even beams if light is affected. No weapons? only null weapons? warp weapons?

There was a White Hole system in the old Ultimate Mod if you can locate a copy of that...

How come you never finished that mod? It was shaping up well.

Because it wasn't his mod... it belonged to Hadrian Aventine

Are you certain? Didn't Fyron have that whole number #1 in space empires website and stuff too? [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Cold.gif[/img]

Kwok is just being a troll. Ignore him.

Machine worlds should provide a bonus to production thus making them highly sought after. Machine worlds are used in mods but should be considered for use in SE V.

Artifical Warp Points, another mod specific item, should also be considered for use in SE V. Perhaps as a comerce tool, or as an acient technology. When encountered a race must either pay a toll, or posess the technology to operate the "gate."

You should be able to mine black holes, nebulas, organic infestations, or commet systems for resources.

I said this before and want to bring it up agian. I would love to see a system filled fully or partially with an acient mine filed that modern mine sweepers cannot clear until they have a very high technology level. Also make the mines self replicating.

Brings me to my next suggestion. Self replicating mines. I think they speak for themselves. Very advanced mine tech. If not all cleared at once, will reproduce themselves.

I would also like to have something like a Stargate system on planets so that you can move resources or such things as troops, fighters, or weapon platforms from one planet to another within the gate system. Have these gates as "rare" finds until later in the game when the player gains the ability to "build and place them" on planets themselves.

Also have a huge orbital stargate system that can move one ship instantly to another gate in another system each turn.

The player would have to build these over the planets they want, and put a limit of one per system on them.

I would love to see in SE V a tool tip icon that when either clicked or rolled over by your cursor, shows the HOT KEYs.

Put it in an out of the way part of the UI so as not to cause accidental pop ups.

I think this would be much more user friendly then having to click on two or more buttons.
