Let's just make a selection window then:

Who do you want to deploy?

1. Angelina Jolie
2. Milla Jovovitch

Add some nice pictures and everyone will try desperately to get his own people slaughtered, just see those pics

Who cares?
Angelina Jolie would have done, too.

And she looks better

I like that part a lot

You're right

Hmm, I don't know about Ablaze's riddle, but here is another one for you to solve

I can go up the chimney down, but not down the chimney up.
What am I ?

I like the idea, it seems both logical and easy to implement into the game for me. It also makes building a new ship much more exciting, as you get sort of a "prototype" feeling. Just like having a reseach breakthrough, it will be a great event to have the first prototype of a new ship com...

@Geoff: I fullhearthedly agree with your post which contains that dimishing returns table. Lets make it this way, that will work. That is just what I suggested in my attempt of a compromise: Increasing the costs for each refinement, which in effect is equal to smaller benefites after each one. This...

I like the idea about using differrent settings. That way you could decide which ships to put your expierienced crews on. Without this option, ppl would probably never mothball their expierienced ships anyway. We could implement a general transfer crew feature in the game. Being able to move your ex...

I don't imagine "forever" is really necessary... but a large number of refinements for any given weapon, such that a heavily refined early-generation weapon is better (absolutely, regardless of countering issues) than an unrefined later-generation weapon, with diminishing returns for each...

Me, too, I like the whole cadet system very much. Good idea there, Impaler. @ iamrobk 4. I think that you should be able to build military academys, which would increase the base stats of your soldiers. When they graduate and are assigned to ships/army units/whatevers, the average skill level of you...

I like your spy-system, Ablaze.

Its easy to understand and effective at the same time

I wholly agree with Utilae and Bastian-Bux There should be a number of weapons in each category, each with different stats, for example range, damage, range dissipation, enveloping, armor piercing,... . Those weapons are not redundand, as I said before, but fill their specific niche. A high number o...

It really doesn't matter that much if FO is played more MP or SP. We will need a good AI in any case, because ppl will want to play cooperatively against the AI in MP. Most ppl probably won't get enough guys together to make MP interesting without a good AI anyway. 2 or 3 ppl in a whole universe is ...

Throughout the game, there would be only one weapon from each category usable at a time. Basically, you have your first beam weapon, which would be the Laser, and you would always have only one beam weapon That is exacty what I mean. I want more than 1 beam weapon at the same time. Imagine you want...

Oh well, I somehow must have skipped the "not possible because of AI" part.

Ppl were talking so much about starlanes or no starlanes, I thought it was still a topic under discussion.
